Camouflage your way through autumn

It's clichè, but you can't go through autumn without at least one item of burgundy clothing. This jacket has been a staple in my wardrobe throughout this season and surprisingly, it goes with everything! Burgundy and nude have turned out to be one of my favourite colour duos. 

Clearly I also have a thing for patent and PVC, you can't go wrong with a patent sock boot.

Valentines day is coming up, so thought I'd do my own take on it. I personally don't like wearing red on valentines day, however burgundy is another story. I recently got these bits at ASOS and I'm in love. 

 How cute is the detailing on this top, I love how delicate it is. Bit breezy for a February morning as I found out, but padded bra to the rescue.-No peanut smuggling today, thanks Monki. 

I love the embroidery detail in this top against the soft swede on the skirt, lace and swede are the perfect match.

I'm so into a wrap skirt recently, very flattering on the waist and shows just enough leg for winter. This one hits just at the right height for the illusion of a toned leg, if like me you haven't been for a run in over two years. (Last time I ran was a half marathon, which is enough to put you off your trainers for a couple of years. 

One thing to remember when wearing a wrap skirt though, hold on tight if it's windy. One big puff from the left and the whole street gets an eye full.. Fuck it, it is valentines day after all.

Embrace the breeze.

I love a mixture of charity shop and highstreet, especially when i come across jumpers and shoes like these. There's always a few good polo necks in charity shops, but this one caught my eye for its beautiful deep berry shade. Its so thick and warm, perfect for this autumn weather without the need for a coat. My other bargain of the week were these shoes, everything about them i adore! The tread, the colour the pattern,, when i saw them hiding away in the corner in a size 3 i was so happy! (even if they are flats) 

Kept the rest of the outfit quite simple, little leather white skirt from Zara, which has had a lot of wear over the summer, but is still going strong through till October. I love the look of  short skirts and over sized knits, just a shame i don't have Alexa Chung's legs.. Added my trusty black shopper bag to keep the look casual, and of course a berry lip, it is Autumn after all. 

Ps please excuse my pasty legs, i need a holiday.. or at least a good fake tan.
