Winter Wishlist – What’s In My Dream Shopping Cart??

For me, it usually happens at the start of a new season…. That urge you get to completely update your wardrobe and you find yourself with 6 items ‘added to cart’ without even realising it! Or all your pins on Pinterest are actually just the pieces of the puzzle that is your dream closet contents!!

 

I like to build wish lists for my seasonal clothes shopping/ inspiration, and I thought it would be fun to share mine with you!

Here are some of the pretty things I am lusting after right now! And I have linked to them all so you can maybe beat me to the punch!

The Knitted Dress

I just love 1930’s knitted dresses, but so hard to find! As I cannot knit, they will stay patterns, for now!

Right now for me the weather has finally turned and there is a chill in the air! Which inevitable means that I have to do the wardrobe rotation from summer to winter, and I am looking for ALL the new pretty things I want to wear this cold season!

Unfortunately though of course for me, and I sure you too, most of all the beautiful things I want to wear, will have to stay in dream land!

  • Cate says:

    Oh yes to everything!! I’ve got a real obsession with 1930s knitted and crochet dresses, so much so that I’m going to a crochet workshop in a couple of weeks to see if I can perfect my skills a bit more so I can create one for myself. It can’t be that hard, right?! 🙂 xx

    • Evelyn says:

    Hi Evelyn, for me, it’s a full length mink coat from my lovely friend Lena from Coutura Vintage. I’ve also been lucky enough to find some gorgeous dresses on Etsy that are suitable for cooler weather, including a turquoise coloured velvet Suzy Perette beauty from Butch Wax Vintage in the United States xx

    • Evelyn says:

      Hi Jane! Wow! Full length mink coat…. that is special! It is good to have those kind of friends! I like the sound of the turquoise dress for cooler weather, I need a few of these also! I hope you get your pretty new things soon!
      Evelyn xx
