KATERINA JANE
AUTUMN/WINTER WARDROBE
The pieces I'm curating for my wardrobe for this season.
I've been inspired for a while now, I've known what I like and what I know I won't be adding to my wardrobe. Being more conscious of how much I'm buying is very much on the forefront of my mind - which is why it's taken me a little longer to piece this post together as well as shop, considering September is over and done with, it's now that I'm getting closer to clicking buy. My poor bank account.
For me, it's all about the subtle statement pieces, a beautiful shoulder bag, that no matter what I've slapped on it ties a look or my sweats (yep) together a little more. I invested in a beautiful black coat last year from Monki, a brand I adore and constantly keep an eye on their new in section, and I can't tell you how smug I am that I know I'll have it in my wardrobe for at least another 2 - 4 years. It's not hard to do so, as long as you're taking care of your clothing. That's one big Autumn/Winter wardrobe basic already sorted, but I won't lie, I've not been able to steer my eyes away from the beautiful Mango, Tote Me and The Curated camel coats, I'm really hoping to get my hands on the one from Mango, again to last a few years, not just for the trends. It's a hefty investment for me, but somewhat a standard price for a good coat, I'm trying to rationalise and not hyperventilate over the big soon-to-be dent in my bank account, but I want it, I need it, (nope, no one does, but - fashion -). Now what's an A/W wardrobe without a good knit, why wouldn't you, it's cold, it's England, sigh, I doubt I need to explain more, but also a good pair of boots, no, not for hiking or long Winter walks in the country, I shamelessly want them for fashion. A blazer might however seem a bit brave for British weather, even in the Autumn, but they're perfect for layering and an all year round essential which makes it a far more practical option when investing and not feeling as guilty. They're effortlessly chic, which I like to feel with some of the horror that comes out of my mouth, Arket's collection currently has me drooling, one day. One day.
Below are some of the things I've been heart eyed over, what are you most wanted pieces this season? Are you being a lot more conscious with your purchases, if so how? I'd love to know. Chat away below!
