Autumn casual by fortytherapy
So there's a definite nip in the air in the mornings now, the cosy cardis are being unpacked & I get the urge to walk a lot more! I don't know what it is about autumn, but I love it when wee man has been dropped off at school & I can come back, harness up donkey-dog & take him over the park for a wander.
I've spoken before about how I have a mahoosive country park just across from our house & it's great walking round the reservoirs on sunny, crisp mornings. I'm one of those annoying people who love this transitional stage from summer to autumn, the clothes are so much more 'me'!!
The above outfit is my standard sort of everyday, chuck-it-on outfit & what you'll mainly find me wearing on a daily basis. I'm suddenly being drawn back to boot-cut jeans again after many, many months of skinnies & these from Next are gorgeous. They're a slim boot-cut with a high-waist to suck in the muffin top - fabulous! - and are my preferred colour of denim.
On top is a simple white slub t-shirt, again from Next with a boyfriend blazer from Matalan. I don't go here an awful lot but popped in a couple of weeks ago & spotted this. I knew it'd be perfect to throw on & it was only £16, bargain! I've also added a grey & white animal print scarf - just because I love it!
I spotted this Fossil bag on the John Lewis website & love it but I can't justify spending £129 on a cross-body bag so I'll have to find a cheaper alternative!
The red Converse are a staple item in my wardrobe & I've gone through many pairs of them. I am actually in need of new ones again but I'm trying to hold out until we go to New York as they're much cheaper over there!! And with such a plain colour outfit, I have to add a wee pop of colour on my lips & the Revlon Just Bitten crayons are fab for a hint of tint!
You may be wondering why there's a camera on my outfit list too. I'd been looking at getting a new compact advanced system camera for all my travels next year but my husband pointed out a few weeks ago that I would then be lugging around a bigger camera & needing to change lenses etc so as a compromise, he went out & bought me this fab Fujifilm XF-1 instead - he's fab!!! Although it's essentially a point & shoot camera, it's jam-packed full of extras & it's taking me ages to suss out all of the settings, hence why it comes out with me all of the time now so I can practise!! But I so love the retro style of it & the fact it has a red leather casing!
I'm also loving Polyvore at the moment so expect a few more outfit posts coming up - I need to build up to WIWT posts with full-length photos of myself!!
