Winter warmers, London Waterloo

Quilted

I had rather hoped the first day of December would grace us with a beautiful blue-sky morning, followed by plenty of winter sunshine. Who was I kidding? But now everyone is officially (hopefully) in the Xmas mood, the British weather shall find it hard to put a downer on my spirits, even more so when I am wrapped up in cosy Barbour goodies and watching my cats pounce on the oak leaves in the back garden.

Barbour Liddesdale quilted jacket & Barbour lambswool scarf c/o Repertoire Fashion

Quilted jackets are iconic to the Barbour brand, and the Liddesdale is considered an all-time favourite - warm yet lightweight, and featuring a contrasting corduroy collar. Though I normally prefer slim-fit jackets, the Liddesdale provides room for those all-important extra layers (such as my many, many patterned jumpers). Here, I am also wearing a Barbour lambswool scarf in colourful houndstooth pattern, breaking up the black of my overall outfit.

If you too would like to bag a Barbour jacket in time for Xmas, you can claim 10% off all orders over £100 at Repertoire Fashion. Simply enter "JK10" at the checkout.
