When the short days and colder weather set in, we inevitably seek some sort of comfort; candles, cashmere, more rubbish t.v. than usual, chocolate.... For me, flannel type clothing, whether brushed cotton or a soft, brushed woven wool, is a real temptation. As its made from natural fibres, flannel is a great tactile way to warmth and softness, without the overheating potential of some other more weighty winter fabrics.There's always plenty around in the shops over autumn and winter; Uniqlo are well known for their A/W ranges of brushed cotton shirt for men and women, and French Connection, Great Plains and Ted Baker generally offer a good range.
This winter, I'm looking forward to wearing this dress.
I bought it online earlier this year from www.peopletree.co.uk . I can't remember exactly how much it was; less than £35 in the sale, I think. Its incredibly soft, and worn with woolly tights, I'll be as snug as a bug. There's a similar one by White Chocolate, (mmm! speaking of comfort) on www.asos.com at the moment. Now, where's the cocoa?... x
