Have you put away your Summer clothes yet?

Re the bed socks, yes, me too! Bed socks and my fleecy dressing gown on top of the bed clothes.

jing - as you may have read, I have already put my Summer stuff away and, typically, I have just read that we are due an Indian Summer at the weekend. Doh.

My bed socks have hardly left my night-time feet all through the summer.

As tomorrow is the first day of Autumn I will change my clothes round later today. (And because I am blooming chilly!)

I don't have a tumble dryer, janerowena, but I suspect Tesco t-shirts would not survive that, as you have found out. They last well enough if, like me, you dry them outside or by the fire (old fashioned or what!). I have three striped Sainsbury's ones that must be three or four years old but are now past their best, hence my search for new ones.

I like them too, but always seem to manage to shrink them in the tumble dryer! I have a navy with a white stripe and am wondering how long it will live for.

janerowena - thanks for the tips.

Re long sleeved t-shirts, I just bought a cotton one this morning in Tesco for £6. It's white with a navy stripe. Obviously haven't worn it yet but it looks ok. I've had them from Tesco in previous years and they have washed well.

I much prefer winter clothes - boots, jumpers, coats. I prefer to be covered up these days although it was lovely to be on a Greek island early this month in the sunshine wearing floaty loose dresses. I never wear them here.

Like Teetime, I've got some summer tops which haven't seen the light of day yet, so they will soon be packed away for next year.
I'm in the middle of the great twice-annual clothes turnout. It was pretty cold here last night, so time to hunt out winter pyjamas, bedsocks, etc.

Thankyou janerowena, just ordered lovely top from Phase Eight, like your taste!!!!!!

Yes I put mine away yesterday with great sadness - some new things not even worn this year. Now however I have lots of empty hangars to fill up! I don't like to be always in jeans and trousers so I do mix it up with skirts and dresses whenever I can i.e. when its not a golf day. HATE THE WINTER!!!

I hardly had the chance to wear anything summery this year. I think I wore my pretty blouses about four times. I have never put away my winter jumpers, in fact, I'm wearing my favourite purple one now.

Put it this way, if I hadn't yesterday, I would certainly be looking out autumn/winter clothes today!! Torrential rain drumming on my roof

We put our heating on last night for the first time. I'm having a big summer clothes sort out this afternoon and choosing what I want to take to Turkey next week. We hope to have a holiday in the sun next February as well possibly to Mexico. I prefer to go on holiday when the weather is poor in this country. I'll pack away anything I won't need for a holiday.

Hate not hat sorry

Still wearing summer clothes. A Tshirt and cotton skirt or trousers but I have added a thin three quarter sleeve cardigan on top and am still in my sandals which I'll wear as long as possible as I hat my feet getting too hot. I'm a bit traumatised when I have to go into tights and socks! I usually try to stretch it out until early Oct and don't put the heating on usually until then either.

I very definitely have summer and winter clothes. I really feel the cold and my winter clothes are heavy on big sweaters and thermal vests. I much prefer lots of cuddly warm clothes to turning up the heating.

I gave up on summer in the middle of last week and started wearing warmer clothes and my spirits rose as I did it. I am a autumn and winter person, especially, autumn and as the trees begin to yellow to match the autumn sun. I started rescuing my cheerful autumnal warm coloured clothes and I cannot wait for the first day cold enough to justify lighting our dtove.

Not yet, off to the sun, in a weeks time. After that it will be sadly stored away!

I stuck my summer stuff in the loft this afternoon after taking it out of my drawers and wardrobe and chucking it all on the bed in my daughters old room for a week.

I don't have winter and summer wardrobes any more either. Every year I buy new t-shirts in the spring (short sleeve) and autumn (3/4 sleeve) and I wear them with whatever else I need for the day. I still have too many clothes, but I am working on this!

Well - almost. I do wear jumpers, as well as my t-shirts under my tunics.

Snap!

I don`t have summer and winter wardrobes. I wear the same all year round, but with jumpers and cardigans in winter, instead of t-shirts and tunic tops.

If it's really nice ones you want, I like Phase Eight's.

Ebay. I know there are lots of places you can buy t-shirts, but I like the long ones, made of viscose in lots of colours.

.I found these to show you

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plus-Size-Womens-Long-Sleeve-Round-Neck-Plain-Basic-Ladies-Stretch-T-Shirt-Top-/261608131133?var=&hash=item3ce90f4a3d

I have bought theses from a different seller in the past (they do come in all sizes, just not from this seller) and have had them for years. I wear tunics all year round, but in the winter I wear them over t-shirts like this, with a boyfriend cardigan on top. So my tunics never have to be put away. I do shove all the linen further along the rail though.
