A warm hat.
Boots
Something to keep my feet dry whilst I trek to work
Skins - I want a short sleeved one to cover up my shoulder. And shorts cause I can warm the bottom of my legs with socks & boots, but the top half always freezes.

its nicer to wear heels in winter because your feet are white and small . But in summer they are red and swollen and sweaty and ew !!

We are going through an awful heatwave. Apart from tomorrow when we have a "dry change" of 26 the next seven days sees more high 30's temperatures. Despite loving the extended Summer, I am NOT a fan of consecutive boiling hot days!:shakehead:

That's awesome - are you feeling good about your decision? Brand new office will be lovely - and onto important things - what was the first day outfit?

I can't even think about winter, it is soooo hot here today!

I second that here today it was lovely! so warm. Did have a cardigan for after my dance class though. But Im all hot again after racing around after having my shower! :rollthoseeyes:

Anyhow:
Cardigan (s)
Pair of black boots
Pair of new heels


If Im coming over to Melbourne to live which I was 90% sure now 98% ... positive I am -
I hope to be getting a transfer or working at another bank where I have a uniform - so I will save my shopping for new shoes like heels and boots depending on work. If I don't end up with a uniform (like if I were to end up in specialist dept at the bank or working for a non-profit org, I'll need some new clothes, Im not very corporate, at the moment)

I really need Winter clothes. 90% of all my tops are sleevless! But every Winter I hate the fashion. I need to do a big chuck out of all my very old clothes that I have been hanging onto purely because I could not find anything to replace them with.
Need tops with short and long sleeves, Jumpers, new joggers and some cool trackies.

Great to hear VeeE!

This winter I'd like:
- More dresses and skirts. I have to kick the pants habit.
- A brightly coloured trench or long jacket. Like hot pink or violet.
- Hats! And scarves and gloves.
- A new pair of long boots, and mary janes.

RB check out Valleygirl. They had a cute hot (dark) pink trench that is a bit shorter which is good for us pitt stops. Also saw a nice modern Trench in Target in the younger section (Hot Options?) it was grey but didn't stop to look for more colours.

- A Leather Jacket (which I have on lay-by atm)
- Boots!!!!!
- Loose singlet cut tops that are baggy and could either be worn as a dress or tied at the back. I don't if that makes sense but I know what I mean.
- More accessories!
- To finally start my many projects of clothes I have brought that need to be altered!!

I'm trying to avoid buying more variations of what I already have and instead invest in a few classic items this winter -

Navy straight/skinny leg jeans with high or semi-high waist
Black skinny-heel knee boots
Black ankle boots
Tweed fitted jacket
Leather gloves
Dark brown leather pumps

And every winter I always stock up on new opaque tights and Metallicus tops :)

loolabelle
11-03-2008, 11:23 PM
I will, J2!

Oooh, yes - I want a fitted Tweed jacket as well. Now, tell me about these metallicus tops!

:chuckle: I just love metallicus - classic but funky and so comfy. Who would have thought stocking material would translate so well as clothes?

It's just gorgeous! The entire outfit you have drescribed sounds hot!

loola, I have always worn what I like and never worried whether it was too dressy. It was just me and my personal statement.

Phew! Maybe my period of clothes loserness is almost behind me!

I tend to always wear what I want, my friend stell me whatever I wear, I always look dressy cos of my hair and features, and I will stand out anyway amongst the the other girls at the footy from what they look like and wear!

I must admit, would be nice to have the boy look over and realise what he has compared to everyone else :chuckle::redcheeks:
