1970s Vintage Winter Lookbook

Now that it's the last month of Winter in Australia, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Winter Lookbook featuring all of my favourite pieces that I wear when it's cold outside.

I love watching Lookbooks on YouTube so I thought it'd be a fun idea to try on this blog too.

My go-to pieces for Winter are:
Turtlenecks
Big fluffy coats
Fringed jackets
Boots
Capes
Ponchos
Culottes 
Midi Skirts
Mini skirts with coloured tights
Belts and hats.

All of these pieces keep me warm and make me feel fab.
And if you ask me, Winter by the Rolling Stones is the perfect song to accompany this Winter-themed blog post.

Looking back on these photos brings back lovely memories of places I've visited in Melbourne.

What are your go-to pieces for Winter?

See you next Wednesday in a new post.

    Ooh, you have a great 70s-vibe going on here, Jess. I love the fringed jacket and your blouse/vest/snakeskin skirt outfit.

    For fall/winter here, I swap out my wardrobe and put away all my summer stuff. I have such an eclectic style it would be hard to say what's really different! I do tend to more dark colours (but you know I always have my brights!), and warmer fabrics, but overall, it's still me.

    Thanks Shiela. You know me, I love 60s and 70s fashion.
    Swapping your clothes over is a great idea. I do that with my Summer and Winter clothes too. I can't wait to pull out my Summer suitcase in a few months and rediscover my treasures. X

    What a fabulous round-up of outfits - there's some beautiful pieces there! I'm intrigued by how you know you're in the last month of Winter, here in the UK the weather changes constantly, fur hats and coats in mid-Summer aren't unheard of! xxx

      Hi Vix!
      If you're going by the calendar, Winter in Melbourne goes from June-August, then Spring starts in September, but it can still be chilly in Spring.

      In Australia, we definitely wouldn't wear coats in Summer, it can be 30-40°C. The weather here and in the UK is so different, isn't it?! It's so much colder where you are. X

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us. Luckily we sat under a t

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolutely amazing. Even though I wasn't familiar with th
