Autumn clothing

I find it hard to get nice jumpers as I can't wear anything with wool, angora, alpaca, cashmere etc any animal fur or hair. They all make me itch even with a top underneath. So I'm stuck with acrylic, nylon or cotton unfortunately.

I wore a cotton jumper with linen trousers on Thursday. That is the first day since about last Easter time that I’ve worn anything with a sleeve. We have had an amazing summer.

Once Autumn is here I do like cozy jumpers, shoes rather than flip flops and different autumnal colours.

I hope you kept your vest on?

I really enjoyed wearing brightly coloured thin cotton dresses in the summer and now it's chilly again .
I bought three dresses which I thought were petticoats in Primark a week ago and then yesterday cardigans ...so it's back in layers .
I'm aching all over and The Cough is back .
I'm convinced that our climate is thoroughly unhealthy .

Microclimates in the UK Esmay. Last village I lived in is in a valley and people did get COPD from the damper air, including my late husband

Where I live now is on a ridge and there is much healthier air here

We have a microclimate here which is moister than average.

I only wear jumpers in the coldest weathers. Room temperatures can vary and I can easily take a cardigan or fleece on and off.
I’m going out for a posh place for lunch today so I need to decide what to wear. Most cardigans don’t really cut it for posh places.

Allsorts.
Apologies if you’ve read this but just in case you haven’t.

I don't buy many clothes. About two years ago I did buy a few thermal garments and a lighweight Oodie and they are still going great. I do have an Autumn/ Winter wedding to attend and very much struggling with what to wear to those.

I just buy on eBay these days. I worry about all the fast fashion sent to the third world, piles of the stuff, polluting their countries with stuff we almost certainly did not need in the first place!

I wish I knew how to use Vinted, can anyone give lessons please I give my clothes to Charity Shops but never bought anything from one. Just bought a sweatshirt half price from Fat Face and a short sleeved top in their sale, wrapped up for next spring. This year Autumn purchase will be a tank top unless I knit one, pair of new joggers and another pair of Birkenstocks. Enough jumpers and shirts but might have to buy jeans if I lose anymore weight. I love clothes and buy good brands but they last ages, one or two of my tops are 20 years old and my velvet trousers 10 years old.

Another Vinted fan here. I buy and sell. Great to get rid of “ mistakes”, or things lying neglected in the wardrobe for a few years, to top up on a few bits and generally enjoy the process . If I buy something unsuitable then I pop it back on and resell it. Ive had some real bargains, my downfall being boots. Bought several pairs, new with tags, and spent peanuts. Love it.

The only things ive bought new are a quilted full length coat with a hood and some ankle boots for when I go walking on our local common when it's wet or damp. Everything else will still do for the coming season.

Cardigan weather for me- take it off when I'm warm, put it on when I'm cool!

Thank God for cardigans I say!

I'm really glad I don't need anything new for the winter season, because every shop I look in has dull colours this year that don't suit me. Browns, sludgy greens or maroon. Not my cup of tea at all!

Back in the spring I decided to look through the summer clothes I'd put away last year. The first thing I found was a pair of M&S crinkle cotton, cream, palazzo pants that I had no memory off at all. They were just what I wanted, but when did I buy them? They didn't seem to have been worn, presumably I picked them up in the sales and put them away for later.

I'll be hanging onto my summer wardrobe as long as possible with the addition of a cardigan or hoodie I love summer

Our autumn and winter clothing is sorted and ready.

What we have will surely see us out.

Yesterday I heard someone quoting a bit of advice "before going shopping for something new, go shopping in your wardrobe!" I opened a drawer and found some sweaters I had forgotten I had. They were perfect for autumn wear, so I don't need to buy something new yet.

l have recently done the same thing found some nice stuff I had completely forgotten about.
Spent an afternoon on a wardrobe and cupboard deep dive and exploration.

Need a couple of new scarves and will look and feel snug.

Layers are excellent and today I just added a camisole under a short- sleeved t shirt, worn with a slightly longer linen skirt my hand made clothes are coming into their own. Tomorrow a long sleeved cotton dress. I am wearing bamboo knee highs on a daily basis

I needed two new elbow-sleeve length tops so I made one yesterday and one the day before, one in a cotton jersey heavier than t shirt fabric and the other is a bit heavier again, french-terry. I don`t think I will need to make anything more this year

i wear the same clothes all year round - black trousers and coloured tops. i have lots of tops!
if i feel chilly then i've got a black short sleeved cardi to wear.
when it's colder and i'm going out i'll wear a thick cardigan - bought about 30 years ago!
i don't feel the cold and hate being bundled up especially when driving.
my clothes, although older, will probably do me for years yet.

Tomorrow I am going to pack away my “ heatwave” clothes. I had to buy more this year as I didn’t have enough for all the hot days, one after another. Apart from heatwaves and freezing temperatures I wear the same sets of clothes for about ten months of the year, just more or fewer layers. I probably don’t need any more, unless for a special occasion next winter.

I have just returned from Crete and I’m in jeans and a short sleeve cotton knitted jumper and my Birkenstock clogs . I tend to buy from Vinted now and sell a lot on Vinted as well . Today I wore a vintage suede jacket from Vinted . Perfect for Autumn .

Bought very little during the summer because summer clothes last forever, usually very little wear. I am hunting all things brown, the fashion colour apparently but it hasn't percolated down here, still 50 shades of grey. I used to wear a great deal in the seventies and eighties, went well with my brown hair, but now I have grey hair, not quite the same. M &S, sludge coloured jumpers, White Company boots not in yet madam, ordered brown dress from Crew, not delivered as a big demand. But I do have two brown leather bags from the nineties, so it's a start.

Much cooler here today so I’m in a long sleeve t shirt from Olsen, M&S straight leg joggers and a quilted gilet outside. Feel quite comfortable in this outfit. The sun is shining but we’ve also had a few downpours. I think I’ll get my linen packed away this weekend and bring out warmer clothes.
