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?

How We Wear...Winter Coats

We are starting a new series for the new year. 'How we wear' will be H and I showing you a little peek into our wardrobes, we are by no means fashion bloggers, but we both have quite different styles when it comes to clothes, despite shopping in mostly the same places. We thought it would be interesting to see how each other styled a particular piece each month. 

For January it is winter coats. 

H says: I am so glad my friend Jen persuaded me to buy this coat on a recent shopping trip, Yellow is not normally a colour I would choose but I love the colour blue so it actually compliments a lot of my wardrobe. It is so cosy and adds a great pop of colour to any outfit.  I wear boots all the time in the winter and the studded straps on these give them a 'rock chick' feel which I love.

H wears: Coat by Miss Selfridge, Jeans and boots by Dorothy Perkins (similar here) , Black Jumper and scarf by H&M.

Sammy says: I bought this coat on the hottest day of the year back in August. I had been looking for a duffel style coat for ages and the colour of this one was perfect (It matches my hair!) It is so warm so I have to keep it for truly chilly days. I really struggle to find boots that will fit my calves so New Look's wide fit range are a blessing. I love the taupe colour of these, they go with everything!

 Sammy wears: Coat by Primark, Boots by New Look (wide fit) Dress by New Look Inspire (Similar here), Scarf by River Island, Nail Varnish by Essie 'It's Genius' Rings by Accessorize.

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!
