Styladelica: November 2011

More eBay finds

The Bex paradise dress from French Connection. I've been looking for a long sleeved dress but wanted something a bit different. I always loved this dress but didn't fancy spending £200 on it in store. I picked this up on eBay for a steal.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter will have seen these already - an eBay alert for "prada shoes size 6" turned into an impulse purchase that I don't regret one bit. These sandals are so comfortable, the heel is very high but the platform evens it out. I got them for less than a quarter of their original retail price and they are in great condition. Another eBay success!!

I'm still searching for the perfect black leather a-line midi skirt. I love the one that Jennine from The Coveted has but I'm looking for a vintage version (to fit my budget mainly). I've been outbid on a couple, but I've still got my eyes peeled!

Have you picked up any bargains on eBay recently?

Layering

I don't really have a specific summer or winter wardrobe, in the UK it isn't unusual to get a fine day in autumn/winter and a cooler day in the summer so it's all about layering. Plus for anyone who commutes on a hot train or who has a cold journey to work followed only to enter an over heated office, this post is for you!

This season I've taken a number of my work dresses that I bought in the summer and layered a long sleeved t-shirt underneath.

All Matalan £4.50 each

Another way I layer is using cardigans, I love them and have various styles and thicknesses at home. These are some of my favourites on the High St at the moment.

Oasis - Fur trim coatigan £45; Miss Selfridge - Knitted jacket £42; GAP - Cashmere cardigan £149.95

Get 20% off at Oasis online by entering TREATYOU20 (ends 27/11/11)

Get 30% off at GAP online by entering GAPSAVE30 (for a limited time)

And then there are the old faithful winter accessories. Here are some of my favourites this season, I love the faux fur snoods and collars that are around.

Brora - Cashmere wrist warmers £45; ASOS - Faux fur cuffs £8; Topshop - Faux fur snood £2

Do you have any layering techniques? How do you get around the cold outdoors and heated office problem?

30 for 30 Challenge: Day Thirty

My last outfit. This 30 for 30 has been fun, but I found it more challenging with the seasonal changes. I also found the spending ban very difficult and did end up buying a few things. Ooops!

30 for 30 Challenge: Day Twenty Eight

Now that this challenge has finished (although my posts are still continuing) I've been thinking about what to do next. I love the structure of a challenge that makes me put different outfits together and also encourages me to post. Nothing is coming to me at the moment but I'll let you know when the lightbulb moment comes!

In the meantime, check out A Monkey Fatshionista's Put A Bird On It Month. :)

30 for 30 Challenge: Day Twenty One

I normally like the idea of a skirt worn over a dress but in hindsight I think that this combo is a bit dull. Maybe if the dress had been more colourful it would have worked...
