It can't just be us who immediately think about the sales when we realise it's the end of the financial year.
You too? Good – because in June, the Mamamia team shopped a bunch of cosy new clothes and accessories for winter.
From our new favourite knits to the surprising shoes everyone is buying, here are our latest purchases and why we rate them all.
But first, listen to What Are You Wearing?, Mamamia's fashion podcast. Post continues after audio.
Kmart Fashion Gingham Scarf - Blue Gingham, $28.
"I picked up this scarf and have been LIVING in it ever since. Pretty sure my cost-per-wear is down to about 30 cents." – Katie Stow, Deputy Editor.
Mejuri Chunky Huggie Hoops, $98.
"After years of only wearing gold jewellery (like everyone else), I'm mixing my metals and lovvving it. I reach for these lil silver hoops more often than not. Super cute on their own and stacked with other earrings." – Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.
Peta + Jain Tayla Bag, $89.95.
"Finally found the perfect sized bag for work! It fits absolutely everything including my laptop. Not too pricey so I don't feel bad for trashing it around every day." – Talia Phillips, Strategy Manager.
DISSH Denny Crochet Off White Knit Top, $99.99.
"I just bought this top and LOVE it because it's giving chic coastal granny vibes. I think it'll be a fab in-between-season staple." – Isabelle Dolphin, Editorial Driver.
Jeffrey Campbell Clogge Clog, $100.
"You know when you're online shopping and you don't think twice about buying something it's so perfectly you? That was these shoes. They're a 10th of the price of the designer version and just a bit of fun. I won't be taking them off in the foreseeable future." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.
Spell Lady Untamed Gown, $329.
"Absolutely obsessed with this beautiful dress from Spell. The long sleeve and maxi length makes it perfect for winter. The fabric is so soft and lush and the print is giving dreamy boho. Like I said, obsessed." – Alix Nicholson, Managing Editor.
Amelius Kinley Cardigan, $139.
"I've seen so many people wearing cardis this winter so decided to add this to my wardrobe. This knit is super cosy and just the right amount of oversized. I wear it with a white T-shirt underneath and over jeans." – Valentina Todoroska, Editor.
The Feet Fiesta + Blush-tin Baldoni, $190.
"I sat on the fence for a while wondering whether I should get me some Twoobs. I finally committed – and I don't regret it for a second. These babies are so comfy and cute as HECK. I got the OG+ with a bit of a platform in the blush shade and love, love, love them. Hot tip: get the bundle with the Thingys (those scrunchie bits) – they're removable so you can add or subtract as you please. Def buying another pair in black before I head to Europe next month!" – Alix Nicholson, Managing Editor.
Monica Vinader Snake Chain Necklace, on sale for $245.
"I came across a content creator who calls her necklace stack her 'neck mess' and that's what I'm working towards. To add to the collection, I got this Monica Vinader snake chain (which doesn't look yellow in person). It's simple but adds some texture to the chains. AND you can add charms to it, which I will do." – Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.
Bec + Bridge Marcella Long Sleeve Top, on sale for $154.
"I've had this on my wishlist since it came out, and recently decided to buy after it was more than half price at David Jones. I love the colours and that it can be dressed up and down really easily. I wore it with a black skirt and tall boots last weekend, but would also look great with denim." – Andi Baulderstone, Strategy Manager.
Country Road Everly Mule, $179.
"I had been looking for a while for a pair of closed-toe shoes that I loved and that weren't black. I found these mules from Country Road and love them. There about a quarter of the price of the JW Anderson version and just as chic." – Talia Phillips, Strategy Manager.
Preview Merino Wool Crop Cardigan, $30.
"Melbourne is so cold right now and I'm all about the layers. Got this merino wool crop cardi from Target when they had their 40 per cent off sale." – Elecia Lay, Sales Manager.
Linda Tahija Micro Star & Moon Stud Earrings, $149.
"I had this idea that I wanted a little constellation stack in my ears and I found the perfect earrings for the job at Linda Tahija. They are teeny tiny, which is exactly what I wanted, and complete my little curated ear vibe perfectly." – Alix Nicholson, Managing Editor.
Bec + Bridge Laurel Wide Leg Pant, $350.
"I recently got these wide-leg suit trousers from Bec + Bridge, and the high-waisted cut is so flattering! They're so easy to wear (I love them dressed up with heels!) and I can see them becoming such a staple in my wardrobe." – Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.
Venroy Silk Twill Scarf, $140, and Wide Leg Pant, $280.
"I splurged hard on and bought this set from Venroy for my European summer!" – Maddie Rodgers, Brand Partnerships Manager.
Jo Mercer Brodie Loafers, $229.95.
"I bought these cream loafers as I was lusting after them for months. I never thought I was a loafer gal but I love them!" – Madeline Muir, Managing Producer - Social.
Dickies Original Fit 874 Mini Skirt, $99.99.
"Not exactly a winter purchase but a good wardrobe staple. This mini skirt by Dickies is an expected brand choice but the cut is quite nice. I paired it with a roll-neck knit, and voila, a winter outfit." – Talia Phillips, Strategy Manager.
