Clutches for Less

Posts Tagged ‘winter’

When your daughter does not like shopping, it can be a real hassle trying to find them the perfect coat for autumn. When you think about everything you want the coat to do it becomes even more difficult. Buying a coat for yourself is easy because you have stopped growing. many women have built up a collection of coats so they know that they have one for every type of weather.

Young children continue to grow into puberty so you will have to buy a new coat for your daughter every year, which can cost a lot so you do not want to have to buy three or four jackets. This means you need the girls coat to be waterproof, warm but not too hot, able to fit a few layers under it and easy for your little girl to be able to get on and off. Finding a coat that encompasses all of these qualities is tough, and it is unlikely you will be able to find one that does all of this and is remotely stylish.

If you are really struggling to find this miracle coat, you need to decide which promises it needs to fulfil and which you are less bothered about. You can get ill if you get wet in the rain. But, buying a waterproof cagoule is cheap. So you can get a coat that does everything else and have the cagoule for when it really rains.

There are so many girls coats being sold by retailers and there are some diamonds in the rough. Fastenings should be easy to open and close. Zips and large buttons are best for young children. poppers and toggles just present an obstacle for children. Choose bright colours, they are more childlike and your daughter will love the pinks and purples you choose. If the coat has a hood this is a plus in case you get caught in an autumn shower and do not have your waterproof to hand.

These are the main things you should look for when buying your daughter’s coat. If it can take them from autumn to winter and into the New Year you are onto a winner. If the coat can fit more layers under it then you have found a great coat.

We no longer have the need to expose our feet, in flip flops and sandals, to the fresh air and sun – because summer is at the end and winter is here. Winter brings with it socks, slippers and perpetual ice blocks at the ends of your legs. Your pins will still look stylish because the winter will bring int the new fashions when it comes to shoes we wear.

Winter 2008 looks to be an eclectic season with ballerina flats, animal prints, and boots, particularly equestrian and biker boots in vogue. You’ll find ballerina flats in all types of materials and colors, with their round toes. This winter animal prints, metallics – especially gold, and velvets are the big sellers. Something different then the typical flat shoes could be a low or even high, vamp heel with ankle ties.

The shiny patent look is in fashion, so are the red color and Mary Jane’s. The name Mary Jane is an American term for a strap shoe or sandal that has low heels, broad, rounded and closed toes and a buckle strap across the instep and/or around the ankle. They used to be made primarily of black patent leather. These days they come in all colours and all materials including suede and canvas. The shoes that were mainly known as little girls shoes are Mary Jane’s – they were only sometimes reffered to as a shoes for little boys. These are quite informal shoes for grown women, but at least there are more and more women who choose to wear them.

The more modern Mary Jane’s have also had heels added to them as well as thick, platform soles. Punk rockers and Goths adopted the shoes in particular, although some others would vamp up the “Lolita” look and wear them with high knit socks and a very short paid, pleated schoolgirl skirt.

The peep-toe shoe is one more trend that will flourish this winter. It sounds a little crazy because you would assume that your feet would freeze, but we are assured by people in the know that they are no colder than wearing regular pumps.

I hope that you have more ideas now and see all the options you have when it come to shoes for winter. You’ll be perfectly ready for the winter days if you choose what fits your feet and yuor style.
