I've been
inundated with emails froms retailers advertising their Autumn/Winter
ranges
and at the same
time received emails from clients still putting their holiday
wardrobe together!
Most shops have
consigned their summer ranges to the bargain rail and whilst it's a
great purchasing opportunity for those who have yet to go on a
sunshine holiday, it's very frustrating for those who have already
bought, to see the prices slashed. Even worse if you were holidaying
in the UK this year the chances are you haven't been able to wear it because of
the dismal weather.
Personally, I invest very little in a Summer wardrobe because over the years I have purchased too many lovely items just to have them sit in the wardrobe because the weather hasn't been up to scratch. I now only buy a few pieces to update or re-energise what I already have. Likewise, I don't buy winter garments that will only see the light of day a couple of times a year. Thinking about 'cost per wear' and the pressure on us to eke out our budgets it makes more sense to have a collection that we can tweak and add to making our clothes stretch from season to season. We can't weatherproof our wardrobes but we can make them weather resistant!
For example, a safari dress can be worn through the Summer and Autumn by changing what we put with it.

These jeans will easily cross the seasons too. Notice how I have used the same coat and boots for the dress and the jeans.The jacket is just as versatile.
