Summer’s over! (I hope)

This one

I like linen all year... just wear it with jumpers in the winter!
Wish I could be as disciplined as you with the clear-out though.

It’s still warm here but with showers, I’m not going into trousers, jumpers just yet. I have had a clear out of things I’ve not worn for a year.

MawB, are you really wishing summer's over? How could you! However I'm glad I won't have to hear any more of the "hottest day since records began" malarkey. I shout back "it depends where you live you daft eeejit"
And that coatigan is gorgeous. Tomorrow I'm going to pop down the road to my local Seasalt and look at the autumn collections. Thanks for the headsup!

This thread seems to tie in with another about what we spend on clothes.

Suppose if we bought less we would not need to send so much to charity shops.

Enjoy Gaunt !

It’s still warm here still in my shorts I think it was about 24 blue skies and sunshine long may it last I LURVE summer

I shall hang on until the last vestiges of summer. I was out today, between showers, in a skimpy top and shorts (20 degrees) while, because it was a bit wet, there were folk in full winter wet weather gear ?. They must have been roasting. Winter will be long enough when it comes so oodles of time to rug-up!

Nights drawing in, no early morning birdsong, bring on spring 22.

I love Indian Summers, sometimes better than the actual summer, the last week has been glorious, golden days bathed in sunshine wonderful temperature. Alas today it's a lot greyer, but well that's to be expected such weather can't last. I don't look forward to winter, except those sunny crisp frosty days and we are told to expect a bad one this year but we have Autumn just around the corner and all the wonderful trees colours first.

Big change in the weather here today. We are going to Devon for a few days next week, I have no idea what to take, will I be freezing in dresses and flip flops, or boiling in boots and Woolies?

Husbands idea to take some of each, but that seems such a lot of fuss, I’ll see what it’s like in the morning.

sarah bring on spring 22 what’s happened to 20 and 21 ?

I love summer, but also welcome winter, because I don`t have to live in terror of insects and creepy crawlies for a few blessed months!

I am with Maw, Autumn is absolutely my favourite season and cuddling into winter clothes and putting away summer clothes is all part of it. I wonder if it is coincidental that the colours I look best in are autumn colours all those rich browns/yellows/orange/reds. And those are the colours in fashion this year

Where I live in Oxfordshire, the weather is not yet chill enough for winter clothes so summer clothes still dominate my wardrobe, but I have two delicous new sweaters from Woolovers waiting to be worn and two new pairs of shoes. Another sweater and a pair of trousers and jeggings and my winter wardrobe is complete, but I hope to have a day in York in early October, so those will have to wait until then.

I did walk through M&S yesterday, it was between a meeting venue and the railway station. All their jeggings (and leggings) were high waisted, which for me means either a comfortable fit under the armpits or a baggy bottom, I need drop waisted to get a good fit over the bottom and into he waist.

It's far too a bit too busy for my taste, once worn, never forgotten.
3 outings and everyone in the vicinity will know who's coming from a mile away...but for some who like vigorous patterns...it will be perfect.
It's a certain kinda someone who shops at Boden, Seasalt, Joules et al...
Lots of 'em on here.

Layers, are the answer to uncertain weather.

I love autumn and winter with darker nights and cuddling up in thicker clothes so I don't have to think about covering up without overheating! I got some new fleece bedding the other day and couldn't wait until it was colder to put it on so it's already looking sumptuous on my bed - the cat loves it

Both my sons were born this month in Indian summers and I love the early morning chill in the air which brings back memories of setting off for school as a child and later walking to work. I even quite like walking in the rain if I'm dressed for it but do hate the wind!

I hate winter, love the summer. I don't suffer from as much pain in my joints when it's warm . I love the early sunrises and the late sunsets, being able to get out and about in the light, walking the dog and being able to see where I am going , putting washing out to dry and knowing it will dry , the list is endless. I like not having to put layers on to keep warm and snow should only be seen once on Christmas morning and then it should melt away. Sorry, but I dread winter.

I think I look forward to all seasons equally. Like Maw I enjoy getting ready for winter. I too have bought some Sea salt clothes, tunics to wear with leggings or tights. But then I like getting my summer clothes washed and ironed ready for that season.
We have a cosy house with a log burner and I like the smell of the wood ready in the log basket. Every season is special in its own way. By February I shall be looking for signs of spring.

I dread summer, and am glad to see the back of it. Being hot is so uncomfortable, and it is much easier to warm up than to cool down. Above all, I much prefer winter clothes. Interesting textures, and at my age I look much better covered up. Ageing bare flesh is not a pretty sight.

Only problem is, I have recently moved into a flat that is so well heated that even a cardigan is not really necessary. I miss my big draughty house from a clothes point of view (though it’s nice not to have cold feet).

Crikey - it's just clothes! I'll fish out some cardigans but, as long as I'm comfortable, I really can't be bothered with a major change or clear out. There are too many (far more) interesting things to do!

That's lovely Maw, perhaps I'll see you in it! I have one from M&S.
I think I might wait and do a wardrobe swap over at some time during October. Hate putting summer stuff away, but I agree the season is over for white trousers!
I noticed how dark it was this morning when I woke up, and I don't like it. Hate the nights drawing in too. Still, three months until the shortest day and then we're back on the downward run to summer!

I like autumn, spring and summer, some aspects of winter I like, lighting the fires, snuggling up with a good book, bonfire night, but I hate driving to and from work in the dark, I hate being cold, I hate that the last thing I do in the morning before leaving is go around the house opening the curtains, and the first thing I do when I get home is close them again. Depressing.

I'm with maw!

I bought a grey coatigan at the end of last year and I'm really looking forward to wearing it but I also have my eye on the Seasalt boiled wool jacket.

I hated wearing coats until recently but I have a bit of an obsession now.
