Winter Accessories



Over the last month or so I've picked a few new accessories to refresh my day to day outfits. Autumn/Winter is definitely a good time for accessorising as the cold weather means you can mix up materials and add some layering and texture.


I picked up a new Timex watch as my last one had stopped working. I think I'd had it for about six years and I really loved it. Unfortunately it had a mechanical fault, and it really wasn't worth the expense of having it repaired when it only cost £45 to start with. I tried to find an exact replacement, but Timex had stopped making it, but I was able to find one that was very similar. 

I love the simplicity of Timex's watches. The military field watch styling is both casual and smart depending on how your dressed and its firmly established my new go-to everyday watch. Like my previous Timex this model was also under £50, so it's awesome value.


I always find a new tie is an easy way to refresh my work outfits, and when I found this blue & green striped tie I decided it was worth splashing out on. I think it was 50p well spent, and continues my run of finding great tie bargains in charity shops. It doesn't have a label to say where its from, but it definitely has a classic polo style to it.


Lastly I picked up some heavy duty winter socks from Gap. I have 3 or 4 pairs of these now and they're great for cold winter mornings. I love the combination of heathered blue and brown shades, combined with the bright red.
