I am on the hunt for long sleeve tops to update my wardrobe for Winter. I usually feel a little saddened by the Winter colours, dark and gloomy, but there are some lovely teal colours and lots of blush in the shop, as well as some great prints. (Check out my Look of the Week to see how I styled my new Decjuba spot tee.)

The change in seasons is a great time to overhaul your wardrobe. Take out all your summer clothes, put them away, (a suitcase under your bed, a separate closet,) and when you do this consider each item. How often did you wear it over summer, do you love it, if the answer is no then consider donating it to a Recycle Boutique or Op Shop. Take a good look at your winter wardrobe and decide what pieces are missing, then you can compile a list of items that you need to keep an eye out for. 

I'll talk more about a winter wardrobe over the next couple of blog posts. But check out my pick of long sleeve tops from the shops and the two looks I have styled below.

​Autumn/Winter is now fully ensconced in the shops and what I love right now is the jewel tones of some pieces and the plush fabrics. You can expect to see beautiful plums, greens, blues and reds, and the use of satin, velvet and sequins to give us all sumptuous clothing to take us into Autumn.

I have picked my favourites from Jackets, Tops, Dresses and Bottoms and styled them into two different looks. Also take a look at my Accessories post for beautiful gems, plush scarves and bags and lots of metallics.
