Winter Dressing with Apricot

Winter Dressing with Apricot

Winter is officially here! Not necessarily in its traditional form- we’ve not seen a glimpse of snow in the Shire! More in the wintery, cold, rainy, windy sense. Not nice. Weather like this really makes dressing a pain, and it normally ends up with me snuggled in jeans, and thick jumpers. That’s all very well when you’re just running errands, but what happens when you actually want to go out somewhere nice? This is my constant struggle. But I normally get over this by standing in front of my wardrobe and having a long hard think. I want to be warm and stylish, and there are two essentials from Apricot that I've been reaching for this winter.

- WARM YET CHIC JUMPER -
One thing you can never have enough of is jumpers. I live in them! This one from Apricot is beautifully tailored yet is still thick enough to keep you warm. I do have a vest top underneath, but it does the trick! The neckline sits really well on the shoulders so you can wear straps without them showing, or wear a strapless bra and pull the shoulders down a little. The sleeves are my favourite! Carrying on from the flute sleeves from the summer, the thick material adds the structure for the sleeves to flow without a summer breeze. It also fits like a glove, so, unfortunately, no hiding that Christmas food baby…

- COATIGAN OR SNUGGLY JACKET -
The coatigan is a recent discovery of mine, and to be honest I need some more chunky cardigans in my life. This coatigan allows me to wear this outside on the freak yet unexpected mild days we’ve had, while I can still wear it indoors without it looking silly. The fur on the collar is so warm and soft, and the boucle material is thicker than I thought! Throw a big blanket scarf over this and you’ll be sorted.
