Day 1
Top - New Look
Jeans - New Look
Boots - New Look
Oh a very New Look day! I really like the dark purple colour to wear especially in the winter months because it's just so pretty. Aside from the colour I also love the detailed Aztec print around the neckline as when the whole aztec pattern started to become popular I didn't really feel I could pull of wearing a whole top or dress patterned with the print so I found this to be a nice compromise. The jeans are actually high waisted because I just prefer that style of jeans even if I'm not wearing them specifically to be high waisted. My boots (or rather my Mum's boots) will probably be what I wear for the next couple of months as the weather starts to get too cold for pumps :(
Day 2
Top - H&M (It's got little Eiffel Towers all over it)
Jeans - New Look
Shoes - Primark
This top was a bit of an impulse buy in order to try and use up the remains of a gift card so I just picked up a size 12 and bought it... it wasn't until I got home I realised that it was actually a size 16 that had been put on a size 12 hanger! Although it's not as bad as I thought it would be as getting a larger size does mean it's looser and floaty which is lovely however as great as that is on my stomach I quite often find it slipping down and revealing a little too much as unfortunately I don't quite have the boobs to fill a size 16. I'm really loving the style of the back and I've seen quite a few other tops with a similar bar on the back. It does mean that when wearing this top I have to wear a strapless bra which isn't as comfy but it does look cute! The shoes are really more summery but I needed a pair of blue pumps as I only had some sort of half pumps half converses. Sadly, they are a size 7 (my feet are 5 1/2 or 6) although they aren't overly huge I'm not sure I'll be wearing them on a day where a lot of walking is required!
Day 3
Top - Forever 21
Jeans - New Look
Shoes - Primark
So again same jeans! I tend to find myself always wearing jeans because I've yet to find a skirt that I'm really comfortable wearing... or one that I can match with my tops! I'll just say normally I will wear this top with a vest top or something underneath because it is quite see through but what annoys me about that is it kind of spoils the back again as it's kind of netted. At least now you can see the high waisted jeans for what they are! I noticed after this that the majority of my wardrobe consists of blues, purples or reds!
Day 4
Vest top - Forever 21
Jumper - Forever 21
Leggings - Forever 21
Boots - Debenhams
Necklace - Primark
I absolutely love Forever 21 and I really wish that we had more stores over in the UK as I think the nearest to me is in London. So when I was over in America this summer I made the most of it and got some new clothes. Now this jumper isn't something I'd usually wear and I pretty much never wear leggings outside the house because I feel for me it's just a bit too casual and I don't often feel I can pull that off! But I've really been loving this jumper because it's nice and over sized and it's quite long at the back so I feel a bit more comfortable pairing it with leggings. In order to look a bit more like I'd made an effort I decided to brave it and do my hair up which as you may have noticed in the previous pictures is something I never do except for work and the gym! I really like the mermaid/ fish tail braid and I've gotten pretty good at doing it quickly now although I've not fully mastered the way to make it look slightly messy. I also thought I would brave it with a dark red lip tint! I really want to start wearing lip tints more as over the summer they've become my new favourite thing but I'm finding it hard to get the right balance between looking autumnal with dark shades and looking like I'm dressing up for Halloween. I got these boots a couple of years ago now and they are without a doubt my favourite! I love the knee high look and the small heel gives me that extra boost in height, but the only issue I have is they've got no grip on them what so ever which is really annoying as it means I can't wear them in the rain or anything like that.
Top - New Look
Jeans - New Look
Pumps - New Look
I have so many of these style of tops because I just find them very flattering for me even without high waisted jeans. I'm not comfortable with showing my stomach though so I always wear a matching vest top underneath and for a while my friends thought it was all one top with two layers! I love how they look with the jeans and I will without a doubt be wearing this look more often. I really like the style of my pumps too as it's something different and they are so comfy as originally I had bought them for working in Boots.
I hope you liked it and sorry I couldn't provide links to the items I wore as some of them I bought a couple of years ago or in the sales so aren't available online but I hope it gives you some inspiration so maybe like me you just like to have a nosey at what other people pair things with! What's your favourite item to wear as we head into Autumn? Thanks for reading!
