Outfit post: Tartan in the wind

Tartan dress~eBay~£8

Peter Pan crochet collar~eBay~£2.50

I went for a lovely windy, autumn walk yesterday. The light at this time of year is so lovely I just had to have some pictures in my new tartan dress. I cut it very badly as you can see, because it had been down to my ankles before. Oh well, I will hem it soon and then be able to wear it properly. I teamed with this lovely detachable peter pan collar from eBay. I love how it seems to go with just about anything and I would definitely recommend buying  into the collar trend.

If you're like me and your skin is practically translucent it is often hard to not fade away into the cool air in Autumn. It is often difficult to know what colours to wear when you have fair skin and to not look totally washed out. I tend to wear a mixture of shades that aren't overly bright, in a palette of mostly green, blue, red and black. I think everyone suits black and it is often seen as a safe colour for the majority. However I think yellow in a more mustardy shade can also really suit woman with pale skin. The only colours I would stay really clear of is orange and purple! Maybe it's just me but they have never ever suited me, no matter what tone or shade I tried on. But here are a few highstreet gems I think would be worth a purchase for Autumn.

If you have any other colour suggestions please let me know!
