Autumn DIY Bucket List

I love a good Autumn bucket list as you know but I wanted to give this years version a little DIY twist. These are all the things I want to have a go at making before winter arrives, what would be on your list?....

Autumn Ready Wishlist

Autumn is my favourite time of year and I can't wait for it to arrive. To be ready, I have been keeping my eye on my favourite shops, building my wishlist for a wardrobe re-boot. What is your favourite time of year? What are you looking forward to about autumn?

Have a lovely weekend

Love it: Autumn Mix & Match

Blankets 1/2/3 | Dresses 1/2/3 | Scarves 1/2/3 | Boots 1/2/3

My autumn wardrobe can be a little on the dark side, so I have been trying to inject a few pieces that are more colourful, but easy to throw on in the misty mornings with the rest of my go to pieces.

I have put together a little mix and match of a few bits that I am loving lately to inspire myself into making better outfit choices and getting out of my comfort zone.

What are your go-to pieces for this time of year? what pieces are you loving right now?

Plus Size Autumn Wardrobe Essentials

Star Scarf / Newlook burgundy dress / Newlook Teal dress / Widest Boots / Teal Bag / Grey coat

I spoke about my love of autumn on Friday and another thing I love about the change of seasons is re-vamping my wardrobe. I have a check list of essentials that I try and shop for each season.

My Autumn essentials are...

A few casual dresses

Black tights

A cozy cardigan

A handbag in a dark colour

A pair of boots

A scarf (or two)

And a coat.

I have bought a few bits over the past week that tick off some of my list and help to Autumn-ise my wardrobe. 

I loved this little dress from Newlook so much I bought it in two gorgeous Autumny colours, I think they will be great with black tights and boots, with a cardi or under a jumper as a skirt.  I have been searching for a winter handbag and this one ticked all my boxes, perticularly with two strap options. These boots are from Newlook's Wide-fit range, which are great for me as lots of tall boots don't fit my calves and I had to throw out my favourite boots last winter as I wore them so much I split the heal.  I wish they were grey, not beige, but they do have them in black too so maybe if I wear them enough I will get the black pair too. My Mum actually bought me this scarf from Accessorize as a gift on a recent shopping trip and I love it.  She knows I love stars so she said she had to get it for me. It is so soft and snuggly I can't wait to wear it.  I always find it really hard to find winter coats that I like, especially in my favourite neutral colour grey so this one is perfect for me. I really like that it can be smart or casual. A little hint for plus sized girls, I buy my tights from Evans in the largest size they do, which I think is 3, they are the best tights and so much comfier than any others I have tried. 

What clothes are you looking forward to adding back into your wardrobe? I can't wait to get my feet in a cosy pair of socks and boots!
