Just like Lauren, I am going through the annual new year-new me restart process and everything gets an overhaul…well, at least it is all on my list to do although only a few pointers ticked so far. I am slowly cutting back on that lovely glass of wine at the end of the day, Christmas-chocolates still lurking in the cupboard are down to a minimum, the over xmas monthly exercise is almost back to the pre-xmas daily venture. However, the extra ounces around the waistline still there (still un-ticked) and wardrobe clear-out is far from ticked yet.

It is a funny time of the year which goes from full-on spring in the air one day to miserable, wet & windy autumn-weather the next. I am therefore still enjoying my woolly jumpers, my knit dresses and other buys from the season we have just left behind.  And how can we be sure that there isn’t going to be another cold-snap before we can fully enjoy spring???

SO… despite a new year, it is not a bad thing to hunt for a sale-bargain. Many pieces are trans-seasonal and will see you through to summer. Pick the right pieces and they will even be good for next winter.

My top five get-it-before-it-goes pieces are as follows;
