The leaves are changing...

I'm so enjoying the autumnal weather. I do like warm weather, not that we have much of it, but I really love the changing of the season and the opportunity to revive my winter wardrobe. Each autumn my thoughts turn to cosy wool tartans - and this year's no exception. If money was no object, this is what I'd be wearing on a daily basis -

Suit and jabot - Vivienne Westwood

The cold weather's the time when I rummage through my old clothes and drag out my favourites from seasons past. One of which is a lovely Vivienne Westwood tartan skirt, which I doesn't fit quite so well since I've lost a bit of weight, but it's still pretty nice.

For me, fashion's not just about following the latest trends - although they do play their part - but there's much more to it than that. I've never been very good at conforming, which means I can't even conform to each seasons big hits properly. 

And it's not about buying disposable fashions that you can't wear next autumn. I view every purchase as a new item for my huge dressing up box that I intend to keep for the rest of my life.
