Farewell Jacket Weather from Nelson Mandela and I...

Today was absolutely freezing!!! Autumn seems to have come out of nowhere and winter is fast approaching. It seems that in a week the leaves on the trees have turned from green to yellow, the temperature has drastically dropped and the seasons have completely changed!

For me, this sadly means that it is time to say goodbye to my leather jacket, my trusty accomplice for the last few months of dodgy and unpredictable weather. But fear not, for my other trusty goto - the cape! - has come out to play. Perfect for days like today when its not cold enough for the winter coat (I'll probably wait for it to get to 10°c or less) but is definitely not jacket weather (which to me is 15°c or above); a woollen cape is a total Godsend for days like today!

Today, a simple misunderstanding (on my part)! had me standing in the middle of Parliament Square for over half an hour in the wind, rain and cold! As much as I enjoyed the company of Nelson Mandela, had I been stood next to the correct Nelson Mandela statue (warmly located INSIDE of the Southbank Centre) then I would not have had to unnecessarily endure 11°c without shelter! Needless to say the cape saved the day again, and I live to tell the tale...

Here's what I what I had on...

Asda
£18

Dorothy Perkins
£17.50

Accessorize
£30

H&M
£7.99

H&M
£4.99

Jane Norman
£28.50

The tights I had on are from Primark, they have a great deal of a 3-pack (one black, one teal and one burgundy) for £3. The best things is that they use heat technology that adjust with the heat - so they warm you up when it's cold and keep you cool when it is hot! Definitely my top pick weather bargain!

What are you wearing right now? Let me know!!!

All Weathers Item of the Week - Accessorize Simone Winged Pocket Tote

Today I stumbled across this fab handbag on the Accessorize website and I am well and truly in love!!! This versatile tote will look great in all weathers and will look just as great dressed down with jeans and a blouse as it would dressed up with a pretty maxi dress in the sun. Its multiple pockets and neutral colour makes this the perfect bag all climates and all occasions. Blogger A Brit Greek totally rocks this bag in the pic below.
