Old and New Favourites

My last fashion post is a long time ago - the last time I posted anything clothes-related at all was more than four months ago! Does this mean I have all of a sudden become less shallow? I'm afraid not. I still really like clothes, and can not resist getting something new every now and then.

Have I bragged about the yellow dress (my third!) I bought earlier this year? I can not remember! Anyway, here it is; it was still warm enough for wearing it in September, and it is good enough to be worn at the office and elsewhere:


My latest acquisitions are two knit dresses*. I love knit dresses! These two only differ in colour, as you can see. They are a mix of cashmere, viscose and some other fibres; very, very suft and really lovely on the skin, cosily warm without making you sweat, and I love how simple they are. The fawn one I have already had in the washing machine; no problem at all. That's the advantage of the mix - a 100 % cashmere one would not have been so forgiving.

Winter has not yet fully begun, but it is already cold enough for me to wear gloves and a coat. Right now, I very much like my warm woolly things. But I know I will reach the point where I won't want to see any more woolly things - usually some time in February or early March. Until then- happy late autumn and early winter to all of you!

*Guess where I found them, and what I paid!

  1. I like all three dresses on you! That yellow one is such a pretty color, not TOO bright, not TOO light, just right!
    And the two knit dresses? You sometimes find nice dresses at Aldi, don't you? Was it there? I have no idea how much they could be but I hope you got them for a good price!

    1. Thank you, Kay! You're spot on - the knit dresses are from Aldi, and cost just under 30 Euros each. (I know - it is ethically and politically not correct to buy cheap clothes. But... I still do it.)

    1. You are welcome, Fi.
      For the next six months or so, the yellow dress is folded away in a box with all my other summer dresses and skirts...

  4. Like them all, but especially the "wooly" ones worn with tights! Also, like your hair length and one side behind your ear; very nice indeed.

    1. Thank you, Jill! When it gets a little colder, I shall wear the wooly dresses with boots. That reminds me - I don't have brown boots, only black ones...

  5. I have always loved your yellow dresses and I very much like the two new wintery dresses you showed us in this post. I'm glad they are machine washable. I try not to buy anything I need to dry clean.

    1. Me too, Kristi. I've always had a thing for cashmere and have one or two jumpers that need hand-washing. I don't mind that so much, but it takes them so much longer to dry than all my other clothes.
