Autumn Outfit Post #3

An Autumn day was officially warmer than most of the Summer, despite the breeze.  What's with that Britain?  When I saw that it was going to be 21 degrees today I saw the perfect opportunity to wear my new denim dress from Missguided, and it got a lot of compliments to my surprise!  This is one of my favourite pieces I bought on my little 'shopping spree' last weekend, and I was happy to finally be able to wear it.  When I bought it I pictured it with woolen tights, chunky Chelsea boots and a wool knit black cardigan.  But the weather caused me to wear the dress so minimally and I regret it.

The denim dress from Missguided is super comfortable, the material isn't heavy denim but it's not made from the denim you would expect on your jeans.  It's more airy, but there is no give what so ever in the material, but the only place this was a problem was around the boobs (well, a problem for me.) It has a denim belt to singe you in at the waist, which is a huge help because the dress has an A line cut and doesn't allow any curves what so ever without the belt.  It also helps to make your waist look skinnier, but it was a little too high for me, I'd have liked it to be a little lower!  It's long sleeved and buttons all the way up and down to the collar so it's easy to squeeze into and could even be used as a coat or a jacket with a different outfit!  I paired my dress with my Chelsea boots from New Look that I purchased over 3 years ago so who know's if they're still going!  But they're my autumn essential and I love to show them love.  During the day, I did have my hair in a low bun but as you can tell, I took my hair out by the time I got home.  I wore a huge winged liner on my face using my favourite eyeliner gel; Estee Lauder Stay Onyx, and a nude pink lip from Mac (Creme Cup) so I did not feel 'autumny' at all.  But I love the dress so it's okay, and there are plenty more days in Autumn where I can style this to my hearts desire!

Autumn Outfit Post

My favourite season for fashion has finally arrived, Autumn!  I absolutely adore all the colours and textures of Autumn fashion; Cranberry and rust reds, khaki green, deep browns, golds and berry purples...  Wool, woven fabric, rough leather, suede!

So, seems as it's my favourite time of year I've decided I'm going to document what I'm wearing for these 'warm but freezing' weeks ahead!  Plus the fact that I'm going to love putting some of my 'oldies but goodies' together is going to give me some incentive to finally blog frequently!  (We'll see how that plays out...)

Today was my first day back at college, and I couldn't really tell what the weather was going to turn out like at 6 o'clock in the morning (painful.) Therefore, I put an outfit together that could work for warm and cold weather, and it definitely did because the weather today was a fickle bitch.

I went for a pretty basic look today, I wanted to be comfy and casual for college.  I didn't want to look like I was trying as much as I actually was pretty much.  I decided to go for my Jumper Dress from Missguided.  It's made from a black knit material and is woven in plaited strings.  The jumper dress hangs off one shoulder making it look super casual and 'girl next door'.  There isn't a lot of stretch in the hems of the material but it's still super comfy and comes down to around the centre of my thigh.  Because I'm not the biggest fan of showing my bare legs (who is in autumn and winter?) I put on some 40 Denier tights from George so that I didn't get too warm, but I was covering the unwanted skin.  On my massive feeties, I wore my beloved Black Leather Chelsea Boots from New look that have seen me through at least 3 harsh winters now.  The quality is definitely there, but you can tell that they've felt the love over the years.  I'm in love with my new Black Minimal Leather Bucket Bag from Missguided, it's an extremely simple design and goes with any outfit and it's like the Tardis.  I could fit a whole horse in this bag, it's so handy!  I wore some huge gold hoop earrings (Gretchen Wieners quote...  Almost.) to add more of a put together touch to it, honestly it completely changed it from 'comfy slouch' to 'completely thought out outfit.'  Then, I shoved my hair back into a long pony and let the front pieces of hair fall forward, further creating this illusion that I had made no effort what so ever.  On my face I had Mac Diva lipstick because who doesn't want gothic berry lips for Autumn?  If it's in, dare to wear it.  And a massive winged liner on my eyes using Estee Lauders Gel Liner in Stay Onyx.  That's pretty much it.  Now I have the stress of tomorrows outfit...
