Whose got the hump this autumn?



Well, I have!
Does anyone remember the oversized camel coats their mums wore in the late 80's? Well guess what... they are back and with a vengance. The last time I saw a camel coat, Dot was wearing one on Eastenders. Good times!
This season it's all about camel - teamed with a pair of killer suede heels or heavily laced boots and you're onto a winner! Personally, I prefer the vintage look. Sultry eyes, big hair and a gorgeous chunky belt and clutch. Very classy and despite popular belief, not at all frumpy (sorry mum).
Now lets face it. If you're not staggeringly tall and waifer-thin with the posture of Agnes Deyn, then the shoulder pads and below the knee hemline might prove tricky but whatever happens - don't be put off. Trawling through my local vintage, I found a delightful woollen number - big collar, knee-length and more importantly CAMEL. A bargin at twelve pounds and teamed with a wintery pair of ankle boots, loafers or vintage heels you are onto a winner! Just looks at these ladies.

For those who dare to dream though, take a look at what I stumbled across earlier. Camel JOY.
