Pink Polka-dot Tuesday

Top~Tara Starlet/ Skirt~Vintage

Socks~Primark/Shoes~Topshop

Hello again!

It may be November but that doesn't seem to be stopping my mood to wear light. bright outfits. Especially when you find the perfect pastel pink house to blend with (minus the crisp packets in the bush). 

This week is going to be about bringing as much vibrancy and colour into these dull weathered days as possible. 

Whether it's a red lip to work or a flower in my hair, I am determined to keep it up!

I have been a big fan of Tara Starlet for a long time and was so sad to hear that it was closing down. 

But, I just had to get my mitts on this pink Carmen top before they went away forever

 and I am so glad that the spotty goodness is now in my life.

Tulle skirts are still a big staple in my wardrobe, all year round and I thought it completed my outfit- plus you can never have too many twirling sessions.

Here is to another week of new beginnings!

Lots of Love always

Annual Autumn Wardrobe Essentials

Autumn Staples

As the nights draw in earlier and the frosty air starts to take its first steps, it's time we start thinking about more layering and appropriate attire for the months ahead.

I thought I would share with you some bits and bobs,

that always get me through this time of year.

My essentials,

my staples.

Tartan Skirt

Skirt~Primark

Firstly, is my beloved Tartan skirt. I got this a few years back, from trusty old Primark and find myself wearing it constantly throughout the Autumn period.

 For a start, tartan as a pattern is very festive indeed.

But the fabric itself, combined with the pleats create warmth

and give the skirt a more cosy feel.

TurtleNeck Jumper

Gold glitter turtleneck~Beyond Retro

It probably goes without saying, but you can never have enough jumpers to smother yourself in when it is nippy outside. I have a really problem with getting the chills (my circulation is a complete mess), so it is imperative I keep a little less reptilian in Autumn.

Turtlenecks are a great way to warm your whole upper body.

A lot of heat is kept in your neck and your head, so it is important

to keep those bits as hot as possible.

I got this glittery number from Beyond Retro a few years back and it has been doing me a world of good ever since. 

Beret

Mustard Beret~Vintage

Okay, so I may be a bit biased when it comes to berets...as my collection of them is obscene-but they are the most important part of this list.

As I mentioned before it is super important that you keep your head warm and so why not do it in style?

Berets make every outfit just that little bit more perky and 

I am a real fan of things both practical and pretty.

 Boots

Lace-up boots~Clarks

Whether they be chunky, Chelsea, ankle or knee-high- Autumn is the perfect time to purchase a pair of good old stomping boots.

They come in handy when kicking leaves, treading carefully on icy ground or just having shoes big enough to wear over fluffy socks.

I paired my outfit with these brown lace/zip-up boots from Clarks. They seem to go with most of the earthy and mustard shades of the season and more importantly they are just so comfy!

What are your Autumn Staples?

Lots of Love
