Ok, clearly at face value I am MASSIVELY over-spent however I have a disclaimer - at the end of August I had clear-out and sold a lot of lightly-used stuff on Ebay generating myself a tidy net-profit of £348.84 (after Ebay and Paypal fees). The main items I sold were my Nintendo Wii, Hunter Wellies, Dune Winter Boots and Chanel Perfume, plus some other bits that were lying around. I knew I was going to use the funds from Ebay to splurge on some new winter boots and designer sunglasses (I bought cheap ones at the start of the year). So take these off my grand total and you get:
£279.86 which is still roughly £30 over budget but it's not bad going. And I still have approx. £75 left over from the Ebay selling to put towards a winter coat.
1. I've wanted Rayban's for ages!! I love them so much and am slightly scared that something may happen to them.....
2. This cardigan goes with everything, and I love the pop of fuchsia on the trim and the cute bows on the pockets.
3. This bright cardigan is for work. Now the weather is getting cooler I like to layer-up!
4. This sweater is made from the softest wool, and the fact that it's over-sized makes it perfect for chilling-out.
5. I love the lace detail on this top. Another work one, to be worn with the wine skirt from Miss Selfridge (style-post coming)!
6. I've needed some new black jeggings for a while. Last year I bought some from GAP but they faded pretty fast. These may do the same but at this price-point I'm not worried.
7. The first of my "wine colour obsession" pieces! They are really thick and super-soft. I hate cheap leggings, you know when you can clearly see the print of someone's knickers through the material - it's just wrong.
8. This pencil skirt is great, love the colour and it's really comfortable for work because the material is stretchy.
9. I'm a sucker for Animal Prints and had my eye on this sweater for a while but just couldn't justify it's original price of £48. Luckily House of Fraser had a 25% off brand event and I grabbed it while I could for nearly £10 cheaper. Love it!!
10. I loved these pumps when I first saw them but sadly they are really uncomfortable, boo....they might be going on Ebay next.
11. My final "wine" purchase. Because of the low-heel these are perfect for work and add an on-trend pop of colour when worn with black trousers/skirts.
12. I feel like I could quote Shakespeare about these boots..... they are my favourite thing in a long-time. I love EVERYTHING about them. The detail, the colour, the style. I will be wearing them all winter long.
13. Great neutral slouchy cardigan for layering up as the temperature drops.
14. What can I say about sports socks???? Zzzzzzz.....
What are your style plans for Autumn/Winter? Are you embracing any of the trends out there? Mustard, Burnt Orange and Wine are the big-hitters apparently.
Love,
