First things First, I reached 100 followers yesterday! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
I'm going to hold another little giveaway later in the week to say thank you again, so keep a look out for that.
I've been thinking a lot about my Autumn/Winter wardrobe over the last few weeks and with Autumn hot on our heels, I thought I'd dedicate an entire post to this beautiful season. Now don't get me wrong I'm certainly not as in love with the weather as I am with the fashion, I mean it's the perfect season for my personal style, muted colours, opaque tights, leather boots and chunky knit jumpers. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
So without further a due I would like to introduce you to my A/W2010 Wish list.
Maxi Dresses - Out with the floral in with the muted colours and nautical stripes, teamed with a pair of worker boots.
Via New Look
Paperbag / high waisted shorts - Worn with black opaque tights and a pretty vintage blouse.
Peter Pan collars - I adore this dress, it has a very high resemblance to last seasons 'tba' dress, but at a fraction of the price.
Via Miss Selfridge
Full Skirts / Pleated Skirts - I'm planning on wearing lots of full skirts with opaque tights and nude patent courts or brogues.
Via Modcloth
Vintage Blouses (or vintage inspired) - Paired with high waisted skirts or shorts and my favourite tan leather belt.
Via Topshop
Worker boots - Worn with simple floral dresses and opaques.
Via New Look
Chunky Knit Cardigan's and Jumpers - Perfect with any vintage dress.
Via Topshop
Casual Dresses -With opaque tights and pumps.
Via New Look
Brougues - No Autumn wardrobe would be complete without them
Via Topshop
Trench Coat - I already have a lovely navy one, but I've been eyeing up this one for a quite some time now.
Via Very.co.uk
Aviator Jacket - For those not so cold days, worn over vintage dresses or casual with a pair of jeans.
Via Topshop
Heeled Lace up boots - Perfect with Vintage dresses or paper bag shorts.
Via New Look
Tapered Trousers - I want a pair of these in Khaki, Chocolate Brown and Camel (I already have a pair in black and grey), to wear with Rock Tees or Vintage Blouses.
Via New Look
Accessories - Leather Satchels, Opaque tights in every Colour, Polka dot and Patterned tights, otk Socks, Lots of bracelets, Vintage necklaces and earrings.
This is really just the shortened version of my wish list I'm planning on including a full run down in my side bar so I can tick them off as I buy them, and of course being the penny pincher that I am I can guarantee I won't be buying all of the above, but will be looking for copies, in sales and charity shops/car boots etc, so wish me luck on the big hunt for my Autumn Wardrobe.
(I spent ages making a collage of the above pieces only to find out I had to pay to save it, so I've had to use individual pictures instead)
I will be adding variations of the above to the following items already in my wardrobe, that I will be keeping for Autumn.
