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!!!
