Can you wear a playsuit in Winter?

If my “Wear or Donate’ feature has taught me anything it’s that if you like an item enough you can (and should) wear it whenever you like, regardless of the season. This week I bought an adorable black and white playsuit in Waggy Tails (Ashley Road charity shop) thinking “this’ll be great for summer”. But…. if we’re honest with ourselves seasons and tastes change so quickly that by summer this might not be in fashion anymore, I might’ve forgotten I have it buried in my wardrobe, or we may not even get a summer (classic UK)! So, I think if you want to avoid your wardrobe getting clogged, stagnant, and under-utilised you should wear things if and when you want – which for me is normally the day after I buy them.

 

To this playsuit I added black tights, a blazer, boots and a scarf and voila – winter wear! I also tried it with shirts and tops underneath which didn’t quite work for me but I think could be a great plan for some people.

 

 

I even managed to find a relatively tropical looking photography spot to set the summer mood (although the drizzling rain did slightly ruin that vibe).
