Unfortunately I'm one of those people who feel the freeze, but I think I've finally perfected the art of layering for a kiwi winter. This particular skill has taken years of trial and error to hone -  trying to find the perfect base layer, jumper, cardi, coat and scarf combo to combat the multitude of weather scenarios we face over the course of a day in our island paradise.

I also find that mid-winter I feel like changing it up, finding a new 'perfect' outfit to thrash as a uniform for the remainder of the cooler months. Generally this involves a mid-season design, adapted to how I want to feel at this time of year - cosy, but cool. My latest fav is the Hussar coat - in plaid of course, because I am OVER black (except as a base layer) when it's this cold! I want to have fun with a classic, reviving a vintage trend towards tartan wardrobe staples.
