Before the Arctic blast that seemed to plummet our temperatures here in Belgium a good 10°C over a weekend, it was perfect sweater weather. These are three outfits worn then, when there was still no major need for any coats. As I know the world consists of many varying temperatures during the autumn and winter, I thought some of you might still enjoy these outfits, nonetheless.
OUTFIT 1: THE TARTAN
Because I love tartan (my inner half-Scottishness has to come out somewhere), this has got to be my favourite outfit. The ribbed berry/burgundy top is from M&S last year (similar here) and Asos have similar long sleeved versions (here and here) which will keep you much warmer.
The boots are true vintage as they come from my mum, and with the help of some shoe polish they look as good as new! Now if you aren’t as lucky to get such gorgeous hand-me-downs then Asos has a similar pair (here).
Although my skirt was from Asda George last year too, New Look have a variation with a more simplistic check (here), and Asos with a more green tartan colourway (here) and Dorothy Perkins has one with the same cut but in a grey colourway (here).
The watch paired with all these outfits is my chocolate DKNY one featured in My Watch Collection post, and the nail polish is Essie’s With The Band seen properly in my Essie Winter Collection 2015 post. And finally the pumpkin earrings again seen with every outfit were featured in my previous Halloween Earrings post.
OUTFIT 2: THE STRIPES
When I spotted Zoë Sugg wear this jumper in one of her vlogs for her Halloween photo section of her upcoming book, I just knew I had to have it! It’s from Joanie and while they don’t have it anymore Asos have the same colorway here, a cute Halloween colourway here (i.e. orange and black stripe), and a candy corn colourway (here). The skirt is just a plain black A-line corduroy skirt bought again from Asda George last year, very similar (here and here). The ankle boots are some simple western style ones from New Look last year (very similar here).
OUTFIT 3: THE STRIPES & DUNGAREES
The final outfit is for those who might not be as comfortable wearing skirts this time of year (thermal tights are a thing so don’t let it be the cold that stops you). The jumper was originally from Wallis but bought on eBay and Asos have a similar one (here). And the dungarees were from New Look a couple of years back (similar here and here).
The black boots were also from New Look last year, and here you have two options: either going for the slouched boot look in leather with a thicker and taller heel (here), or going for the same suede but higher almost to the knee structured boot (here), as the perfect combination of both doesn’t seem to be at New Look anymore.
There you have it my three autumn/sweater weather outfits. Which one is your favourite?
How is the weather at the moment where you live? Sweater weather appropriate or full on puff jackets and mittens?
What about your shoes of choice? Has practicality outweighed fashion yet? I know snow does that to my choice of footwear, don’t want any broken ankles for the sake of “Fashun”! ;P
