Mustard & Tweed


Shorts - H&M, Jumper - New Look, Shirt - Topshop, Boots - River Island, Collar Tips - Ebay

I tried taking photographs in my bedroom again today but since I've had it done (video will be up on sunday)   I thought I would try and take pictures from a different place in my room, with lovely mum helping me by taking my photos as my usual set up is no longer available due to furniture moving/gone.  It turns out that the lighting in this space is just awful and it took a long time to sort out so I apologise for that but these two photos were really the best of the bunch!  If the lighting wasn't awful then I looked weird, it was just very difficult.  

Today I dressed for autumn as I'm just so ready for it now, even if it was warmish outside.  I had no need to look smart so I went for my tweed shorts highlighting some of the new trends (but annoyingly you can't really see that they're tweed; they are!) but it's such a shame that this beautiful mustardy colour isn't a big trend this season like it was last year because I've just rediscovered this jumper I bought last year and I'm just in love!  It's the perfect shape for how I style jumpers;  I'm forever ending up tucking the front of my jumpers in to whatever I'm wearing on the bottom so the fact that this jumper is shorter at the front than the back is so so handy.  I'm just really hoping that New Look released these again this year so I can pick it up in some more colours, or I will BIG TIME regret not buying all of them last autumn. 
 I went for the white shirt underneath to keep everything smart and put together (and also just so I could wear my new collar tips from Ebay that arrived this morning!).  The collar tips came in a small little pack with gold & silver in but I can't remember the seller so I can't link you to it, but if you just type in on E bay collar tips I'm sure you'll find them, they were about 99p from China or Japan!  
Then I thought I was going to throw on my black patent loafers but went for the boots to make it look less thought out and more chilled out. 

Hope you like it!  Are you looking forward to getting you autumnal clothes out yet?!

  1. I just moved to California so I basically don't have autumn, ahhh. It's my favorite month, so hopefully we'll get SOME sort of cold-ish weather!

    I love those collar tips, and the mustard jumper is so lovely.

    You have amazing style, girl! I'm definitely going to subscribe to your youtube channel as well!

  2. Absolutely love this outfit! I bought some of those collar tips and I'm just waiting for them to arrive. I've been in Autumn mode for a while now and our Scottish weather has taken a turn for the worse so it might (sadly) be time to crack out the super thick tights.
    I just found your blog today and I'm in love! You have fantastic style xo
