Down Girl is back again today with more tasty warm wardrobe treats! Today focusing in on jackets and gumboots [including gumboots by Vivienne Westwood - who knew gumboots could be SO classy?!] and a very cute cape! - Jenny x
Ohhh! Jacket time! My favorite. It is a very hard decision each year to choose which one you might purchase to keep warm on the coldest of cold days. They are an investment piece so it is important to do your research and make sure you are paired with a jacket that you are happy to be hugged by daily. Capes are huge this Winter, they are very gorgeous and so fun to wear. I love snuggling my arms inside mine, its like having a big blanket wrapped around you all day, so cosy.
You know what else goes with a cute jacket or cape, a cute pair of tights and on top of them some pretty little (or big) gumboots! Hunters are very cool and popular this year but also check out those lovely new Melissa x Vivienne Westwood ankle gumboots! They just hit the stores this week! Weee!
