Turtlenecks

So as I mentioned in a previous post, with my newly-minted C-sized bust, I was so looking forward to investing in a new turtleneck this season.

Even as an F cup, I would wear them, even though it looked like I had stuffed the Goodyear Blimp down there. The same charcoal grey merino one from Country Road. Well, my one just gave up the ghost after six faithful years, and Country Road informed me that they would not be repeating this style this season. Sigh.

So I tried on Juliette Hogan's offering in black merino. Gorgeous, matte-black fine merino but the L was too snug. On to Gregory. Their version is lovely, a great fit and $50 cheaper. But I honestly couldn't make my mind up about it. Even with a smaller bust, I think I might have outgrown this style. The fashion gods work in mysterious (frustrating) ways.

I ended up buying one from Glassons for $39.95. It's not as fine as the others, but it will do the job (and come in handy for layering). My turtleneck is still a staple, just more a layering piece rather than the star of the show.

And tonight I looked on Country Road's website to be greeted with this! Not exactly the same style as yesteryear, but I'll give it a go!

Winter Boots

Last Winter I missed out on new ankle boots because I left it too late. This year, I will have the upper hand!

My bone-coloured suede ankle boots have seen me through two seasons and are, I'll admit, starting to look a little tatty. This year I want to get a new pair of tan/camel boots for weekends (lower heel), a black pair for work and another black pair for weekends. Am I up for the challenge? Maybe...

Starting with the black boots, here are some that have caught my eye:

For Work

 Country Road $229

Mi Piaci $290

Trenery $279

For the Weekend

Sam Edelman (Shopbop) $180

Martini Marco (Mischief Shoes) $250

Autumn Inspiration

Liking Witchery's AW15 collection so far. I'm planning on wearing black skinny jeans,black ankle boots and cashmere this year. Loving these boots!
