Taken by glory of the 'New Ladylike' the Burberry Aviator jacket all the fashion mags were crooning over barely made me blink. As I sat writing my bi-annual list of purchases to complete my wardrobe - the ones that will fill in all the gaps and create an amazing pulled together collection of clothes (this does not and will never happen because in the end I always buy what I fall in love with) my mind kept straying back to the Aviator. But I had wanted to ditch the Tomboyish tendencies and embrace capes and framed handbags! Maybe even make some effort with my straggly mop of hair for a change... Unfortunately at this point I realised I had spent two evenings on the internet wistfully gazing at flying jackets.
My two favourites on the high street are the Miss Selfridge with the Faux Fur Trim in a rich dark brown, and a cute and surprisingly cheap little number from H&M, who finally have an online UK store. I know now, that it is too late for me, clearly I'm not quite ready to throw away the skinny jeans and cowboy boots just yet.
I'll probably still embrace the cape though.
And yes, I do actually write a list.
