The Only Shade Of Red You Will Need This Autumn

NewLookRedJumper_TopshopMOMJeans_ZaraJaquardBlazer_TopshopNudeCourts

If you remember at the beginning of last year seeing all over Instagram the Bella Freud stunning Red 1970 Jumper. The colour of red was very striking, and was complementary against the stone wash high waisted jeans. The only down side was the price tag, a whopping £290!!!. For some thats a reasonable amount to ask for a jumper, and in some ways it is as its made with Merino wool which is the finest and softest wool of all time. Saying that I cannot bring myself to spend that kind of money on a jumper. There was no need to fear because at some point the highstreet fashion gods heard my cry and BAM!! New Look brought out this champion of a Jumper that I am wearing today. Now granted it does not say 1970 on it, but what it does have is the hue of red that is so on point this season and is SUPER flattering for all skin tones. What I am focusing on today is this Beautiful blue toned red that is in all the shops. When worn on your top half, it sharpens the whites of your eyes to make them sparkle and why not also match your lipstick to your top and you will have the sparkly-list gnashers in town!.

Everyone needs a RED knit of some kind in their Autumn Wardrobe, so I have pick out some of the best on the high street right now for you.

Goodbye Old Friend- Converse All Stars HiTops

Zara White Shirt, New Look Black Maxi Skirt and Converse All Stars from La Redoute.

I am not one to be sentimental over things, it is a curse and a blessing. It wasn’t until I had children, that I began to become sentimental. The smell of a softener that I used when I washed babies first clothes in, a pair of first socks, were their feet ever that small!! and a pair of Cons, I treated myself to after giving birth to our third child. These said ‘Cons’ have sadly disintegrated and reluctantly was going to chuck them out, until I was stopped in my tracks by a memory. It came like a lightening bolt and holding those shoes in my hands I was reminded of how I felt when I put on these cons for the first time. Our third child was only 2 weeks old and Richard wanted to take us to the local pub for dinner. It was going to be the be my first outing still recovering from major surgery, the first Pram outing and of course with baby Louis. So, these Cons are so special to me because of the many firsts I have had in them!. Alas, they have had their day, and I needed a new pair. I scoured the internet and found nearly the same on SALE at La Redoute. I know in times past I moan about La Redoute delivery times, but because I wasn’t in a hurry and it was a Bargain price I was willing to wait.

The Converse All Stars Hi Tops are one of my favorite trainers. You can wear them pretty much every outfit and yes I have worn them under a ball gown before now, because they are so versatile and comfy. Today is a perfect example of this, White shirt knotted around the waist and a black maxi skirt is all you need. I find Maxi skirts difficult to wear at the best of times, but sling on a pair of Cons and instantly transforms your whole look. Definitely a must for any Capsule Wardrobe.

The Bag Lady Look

Zara Tie dye accordion lace skirt, Topshop Khaki Jumper, All Saints Bales Leather Jacket and New Look Biker Boots.

Hey Everyone, I hope you have had a good weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead. If you have been reading my blog for a while you will remember this skirt back in August 2016, when I picked it up from Zara. I thought this would be a good illustration to show what works for your body shape, aaannnd what doesn’t. I love Maxi skirts, FACT- Maxi skirts do not love me. I know its sad, but if you look at the difference from my last blog post HERE you will see how wearing different styles can and cannot suit you. I am a Emotional dresser. When I wake up in the morning, I decide what I am going to wear to how I am feeling that day. I first realized I was like this when I was 19 years old. Back then I was working at TOPSHOP and part of being a Brand Manager, you had to work at other Stores to help out. I was sent to Manchester Trafford Center store, where I met Sophie. She was 26 years old and had a eccentric sense of dress. One day she was a Skater girl, next day she was Posh spice, then Boho chick with braided locks and a pair of Birken stocks to boot!! I just thought, ‘that is how I like to dress’ and from then on I have carried on being a Chameleon with my dress sense, not really following trends, but on what suits my body shape and how I feel on the day. Which is very detrimental to my bank balance, but hey I enjoy it.

So back to the outfit at hand, today I was feeling slightly Boho with a sniff of Biker chick with my boots and leather Jacket. Oh and the snugly Jumper cause its FREEZING!! As you can see Maxi skirts instantly add width to the hips and the thick long Jumper hides my curves and makes my shoulders look larger. Do I care? Not a jot, because I was feeling it at the time, but it may be the last time I wear it…for now!

Public Desire Alona OTK, Levis 711 Jeans, Zara Grey Hoody, Isabel Marant Igor Jacket and New Look Grey

On a recent trip to the big smoke (London baby) It was freezing and I was only there for a night so had packed lightly. I decided the only way to keep warm was to put on every piece of clothing I had bought with me. This is where I fell into the smarcasual category teaming my snuggly warm grey hoody and a super smart Isabel Marant Igor Jacket together with my Public Desire Alona OTK Boots for extra warmth and a matched made. It kept me super warm during my swift trip to London and to boot got some good quick pics. I love it when a outfit comes together out of necessity and it proves how when you shop savvy by buying quality, minimal pieces that in your wardrobe you are able to throw 99.9% of your stuff together and it should work perfectly. In next weeks vlog you will see what I was doing in London in the first place, I can tell you it was interesting.

Sorry this is short and sweet today but I will be back on Friday with a great video for you. Would you wear a hoody and blazer together? Let me know in the comments below.

I will be the first to admit to being a little on the short side the thought of wearing a ankle grazing pant fills me with dread. Until I came across these Camel coloured Culottes from River Island. The soft fabric,the billowing leg,the beautiful camel colour just had me. These trousers are so comfy and versatile I knew they were going to be a key piece to my wardrobe.
