With the temperatures plummeting and the nights getting longer, it is time to relax in comfy style at the weekend. When the weather first turns cold, there is the temptation to hibernate with comfort foods such as shepherd’s pie or a warming stew followed by a warm chocolate pud while watching Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor. There is nothing wrong with that but that doesn’t mean you can’t look good.
While I was sorely tempted to get a slanket (blanket with sleeves for those who are wondering) or the new adult-sized babygrows as my new lounging outfiit, I fear that I would be too embarrassed to open the door, let alone let a beau into my abode!
So when you put away the sharp suits, military coats and heeled boots that constitute your work attire and mooch around the house or head out for a weekend walk in the crisp day air. wrap up in cosy wool that will keep you toasty warm and looking great.
