As the mornings get cooler our choice of clothing changes slightly. Although New Zealand weather still feels summery. I have put together some key pieces to bring you through to the Autumn season with companies that won't blow your budget.

Boots

Whether your an ankle boot lover or a knee high we can all agree that boots are very versatile and pretty much go with every outfit. I prefer a good ankle boot with my jeans but knee high ones also look great with any outfit

Personally Hannah's and number one shoes for me have the best choice available for boots. There are other more high end stores but if you are on a budget both these stores offer comfy boots at affordable prices.

Bonus offer too they give you 20% discount on signing up with them.

Jeans

The statement piece we all love. I'm very much a jeans and pretty top kind of girl. From your statement Levi jeans through to just jeans brand or jeans west. There are so many options to choose from.

A couple of stores like cross Roads and farmers department store have affordable jeans for the every day woman that won't blow your budget. I find I suit straight leg jeans but also curvy women jeans.

Going into a jeans shop is also helpful I find talking with someone say in just jeans they can help you find a brand that suits you and makes you feel comfy but also stylish and gets you into the best fit.

A statement jacket

Whether you prefer a denim jacket like me my favourite are from Just Jeans I like to purchase them when they are on sale. Or a dress jacket to take you from work to after 5 there are so many lovely options out there. Another favourite of mine are the military styles with the extra buttons. You can wear them to work but also dress down after work pairing it with your jeans a pretty sweater and boots. Great for a dinner or every day look.

A key piece for your wardrobe investing in a good quality jacket pays off for years to come.

Wool pieces

From your classic woollen beanie to gloves and a jumper you can't go without a good quality woollen item.

My favourite is Merino wool the products are slim fitting and not bulky but keep you super warm. Some of the department stores now are stocking Merino and it's well worth the investment.

Merino wool is much finer and softer than regular wool. It is grown by Merino sheep that graze the highlands of Australia and New Zealand. Since the 12th century, when the breed originated, the sheep have developed the softest and finest fleece.

Accessories

I'm all for chunky accessories in Winter

Layered necklaces, hoop earrings, a nice handbag and a scarf, can all finish off an outfit and give you confidence. Beauty is about how you feel and by adding finishing touches I find I feel more confident.
