Today it rained, the first time it has properly rained since my move back to the city. Had I missed it? No not at all. Had I missed autumn? Completely. Autumn is my favourite season, typically leaves falling off the trees, pretty scenery and the likes of halloween, but what really excited me about autumn is the many opportunities there is for the cutest outfits.
Whether you're running to a lecture, work, shopping or visiting a pumpkin patch (do you realise how hard these are to locate up here?) there is a perfect outfit for every occasion. Really place effort into your styling because not only will you look fabulous, you will also feel it and people will take notice. Many people would throw on leggings and a sweatshirt (only appropriate work out pieces in my opinion) when the weather is horrendous but they fail to realise there are many other options. This is where signature A/W pieces come into play hello winter coat, hello boots, hello colours.
My ensemble today consisted of a mulberry coloured blazer from New Look, £25 and Primark Top, £4. Mulberry is a must have trend colour this season and I love it especially because it goes with my chocolate coloured hair not to mention a tailored blazer is also a wardrobe essential. I barely ever shop in Primark but as I walked past I spotted this cute cami with a leather look, lined pocket and couldn't resist.
My other pieces are jeans from River Island, £35, Oasis Bracelet, £18 and River Island boots, £35. As you will have noticed from previous outfit of the day posts River Island is my favourite place to buy jeans as they do long legged which many other high street and even high end stores do not. The only problem is that they are sometimes difficult to find at different points of the year and presumably sell out quickly so therefore I have to buy a few pairs at a time. I love my boots which are a new buy. Every year I struggle to find a pair of boots that I really really like and sometimes do without. I like that these are laced and suede, not always practical but they looked too good not to purchase.
Let me see you first A/W pieces darlings and tell me what you think of mine.
