A/W'12 TREND PICKS: "MILITARY" ASOS

MILITARY TREND

1 ASOS Army Jumper £38 2 ASOS Military Shirt £30

Full collection found here

Military, definitely one of the trends I'm going to be taking with me into Autumn/Winter this year. If only you could see my eBay watch list, it's pretty much a khaki overload. I mentioned in the first post how I was inspired by llymlrs who originally posted a haul featuring this trend and some of the item's she'd purchased (here). 

Here I've picked out the two items I liked the most from the collection, including this gorgeous knitted jumper. I often feel like I don't own enough knitwear, especially when you spend a lot of time around a friend who lives in it. This is actually the first time I've seen a jumper in this khaki colour that's being associated with this current trend and I think it works so well again with the contrasted shoulder pads. Paired with a collared shirt, I think this would look lovely. 

Next is this "military shirt". I've been on a hunt for a shirt similar to this one for months now after missing out on owning the Topshop version and being outbid on one on eBay. I bet you can imagine my reaction when I saw this one!

Are you taking the "military trend" into Autumn/Winter, or are you leaving it behind?

A/W'12 TREND PICKS: ASOS

After watching a video on llymlrs' youtube channel regarding a "Military" trend haul from ASOS' A/W '12 collection, I was interested to see what other types of trends are going to be appearing in our upcoming seasons. After searching through the featured categories, I came up with two of my favourite different products each to share with you.

GOTHIC TREND

1 ASOS Shirt With Geo Jacquard £35 2 DINO Velvet Flatform Trainers £25
Full collection found here

Firstly is the "Gothic" and I'm not gonna lie and say this style is something I usually look or go for and so I admit it was a struggle for me to find something that is to my own style within this trend collection. However, I have to say I am really loving these two items! I remember seeing these velvet flatform trainers before even looking through the different collections and surprisingly wanting to own them. Now I say surprisingly mainly because the style of shoe is something I never really go for yet I can't help thinking how nice they would look paired with a dress and tights. Another thing I really like about these two items, the shirt in particular is the colour, very similar to the "Very Berry" trend pallete it somehow reminds me of mulled wine. Almost warm and in my opinion the perfect shading for Autumn and Winter. 

Now you're probably wondering where all my other "picks" from the collection are. Considering how long they were put together, I figured it would be best to seperate them over a nine day period with one trend for each day. I hope you don't mind this set out as I'm really excited to tell you about some of my favourite pieces without making a post that drags on for too long.

Anyway, what are your opinions of the "Gothic" trend ASOS have put together? Will you be purchasing any to add to your own Autumn/Winter wardrobe?
