Black, grey & berry by fortytherapy
Berry is one of my favourite accent shades to wear in autumn & winter so I'm pleased to see so much of it around at the moment. I'm also extremely fond of wearing a titfer or two & there are some great ones on the shelves although this year I'll be wearing trilbys & fedoras rather than my trusty berets & beanies!
This outfit is so simple to chuck on for everyday but whilst it's not too cold yet, I've teamed it with a poncho rather than a coat - it also helps with the *whispers* hot flushes!!!
I started with the grey denim leggings from Next as I have these in 3 other shades & I love them, they're just so comfortable & a really great fit - completely hold in the muffin top!! With them, I've added a simple white vest & over-sized jumper with faux-leather sleeve panels, both from H&M. I know that unfitted tops are not the most flattering on me & make me look bigger than I am but I just feel so comfortable in them! And as long as they're teamed with skinny bottoms, I can get away with them!!
The long black poncho is from Next, as are the black slouchy boots. The fabulous berry coloured fedora is from M&S, not somewhere I go in much these days as my local store is not much cop sadly but I found this online. The bucket bag is from H&M, they have some fab things again this season. I think they've tweaked their sizings as I find the tops a much better fit on me at the moment.....or maybe I've dropped a couple of pounds?!
I've thrown in a berry shaded matte lip crayon & nail polish too for good measure, sometimes a bit of co-ordination is good! And I may just have sneaked this gorgeous Tissot watch on to my board too! This is what I'm hankering after for my 'big' birthday next year from the hubby. I've been leaving several hints lying around & have pointed it out to him in the jewellers - several times! - but unless I physically glue a picture of it with instructions where to buy it, I don't think it'll sink in. Bless him, he's not great with hints!!!
How do you feel about berry shades?

Love the berry colours that are around at the moment
ReplyDeleteLovely aren't they? :)
DeleteJust had a little look at those denim leggings on the Next website, I think I may want some! Next time I'm in the city I'm going to see if I can find them :D

They're so comfortable Chloe, they're not really leggings at all just realllly stretchy jeans, lol!! x
DeleteLove these colours together and such great picks here. I have some very jeans from White Stuff last year which I love and I always get lots of use from them at this time of year. Lynne x
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking grey at the moment...makes a change from all the black in my wardrobe! x
DeleteA really lovely colour combo Sarah! I have some fab burgandy coated jeans from last year which I can't wait to wear again! Ax
ReplyDeleteThey sound lovely. The Next leggings above come in berry too that I'm rather tempted by!! x
DeleteI don't have anything berry but I should as it looks so good with grey x
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from the shops & there's so much berry around this year. I *need* a berry snuggly scarf to go with my new chunky grey cardigan! :) x
DeleteLove em Sarah! Love this outfit too and must take a look at those leggings in Next! I haven't tried the matte lip crayons yet - must be something wrong with me! Your hubby sounds just like mine - bless em! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the lip crayons, they're so good! My husband now just tells me to pick things when I'm with him - that way he can't get it wrong (in his words!!) x
DeleteSuch a great look cool stylish and comfortable too! Love the idea of a fedora, but everytime I try one one I look like a scarecrow!! Helen xx
ReplyDeleteLol! I do worry that I look a bit of a tool but I really love wearing hats - I've got a new grey tweed trilby that I can't wait to wear!! ;) x
