Thanks so much for inspiring tips. I think I&#39;m a bit short for flat oxfords - but they look sooo classy.

I&#39;m super sensitive to cold so find dressing stylishly for autumn/winter weather soooo hard! Still, at least in winter it&#39;s easier to wear a hat without being stared at. <br /><br />xx Charlotte<br /><a href="http://tuppencehapennyvintage.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tuppence Ha&#39;penny Vintage</a>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14247551155021625654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-49214333323270450972010-09-13T00:24:51.357+01:002010-09-13T00:24:51.357+01:00Thanks for the great inspiration!

They were called &quot;Camel&quot; which isn&#39;t the nicest of names but they suited me perfectly. I&#39;m really hoping John Lewis get them in again this year.

LOL!)<br /><br />I wear 15 denier in autumn but in the past have found 70 denier nudes in John Lewis...but they seem to have forgone my old lady tights this year so I&#39;m looking frantically at tights ranges hoping to get more than a 15!

I had one in the 50&#39;s that had been handed down from my aunt from the 40&#39;s, and I thought at the time it was the ugliest thing I&#39;d ever had, since I was only in 8th grade (13 years old), far too young for such a skirt. But today it would be fun to wear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-26711724160005232872010-09-09T20:14:19.828+01:002010-09-09T20:14:19.828+01:00Congrats on your Cosmo Blog Award!

I have just treated myself to a new tweed jacket by Bladen, in expectation of the autum temperatures which should arrive shortly.<br />With canvas and horsehair linings, it will mould itself to my shape with wear. These things look better with age; so wearing it in a rain shower will settle the jacket in nicely.Carruthersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686788127314529613.post-65550025066080896972010-09-08T21:50:10.881+01:002010-09-08T21:50:10.881+01:00This is a specially terrific post Fleur.

I&#39;m sure that you receive invites to all the Fairs but if anyone would like a comp please contact me via my blog. I have a very stylish Utility CC41 A/W 1942-47 skirt suit for sale as well as some stylish 40s hats. Ideal for the Goodwood Revival.
