My new autumn work shoes - Penny loafers with pearls

Image
Autumn to me is all about revamping that work wardrobe. I class it like "Back to school" except I'm not in school.. maybe its more like "Back to work" without the 6 week holiday! Instagram and Facebook are no longer fuelled by friends holiday pictures and instead we see proud parents/ friends/ family members sharing their children first day at school pics. Many people have expressed they start fresh in September like children returning to school.. and I want to put it out there - so do I which means NEW WORK SHOES!! At this time of year I love black work shoes..it works best with all weather types and patent is always IN. The Penny Loafers with pearls where a natural choice. I absolutely love the style of these shoes because: - They 100% remind me of Chanel. - Patent is a classic autumn/ winter must have. - They have this seasons "must have" addition of pearls (this has been mine and my mums signature look for a few years now) t...

Ruffled shirt dress in oil from Zara - (Mustard dress)

Zara calls this colour oil - I call it mustard. And I am totally in love with this colour right now.. I feel its one of those colours that seems to suit all hair colours and can be styled in so many creative ways. I found this number from Zara (seems to be my main shop at the moment) The one thing I don't want to do is go over board with this colour but by buying a dress it will be easy to keep reinventing looks which is what I'm all about with my maternity look as it can be costly to keep shopping for clothes (especially when they hopefully won't fit me once baby is here!)

As the day wasn't too cold I found this outfit worked perfectly but when it gets colder I aim to wear this dress with over the knee boots or biker boots with knee socks.   The dress has three quarter length sleeves, sits just above the ...

Leather ankle boots with metallic detail from Zara

Im embracing autumn like theres no tomorrow. Im already on my second pair of ankle boots - admittedly I bought them on the same day.. I really couldn't help myself. I do have an issue where I see something, decide not to get it and then spend ages thinking about it and how I should have bought it - do you do that? This is how the story of my Zara boots begins.. I saw them in passing when I went to Zara to buy a jacket and I thought I would be really good and not over indulge. Then I couldn't stop thinking about them. I stalked the website and finally returned in store where I grabbed them and ran to the till point. Why did I have to have them? They are sturdy and robust.. and as my sister would say "they look like real bother boots". This autumn I am aiming for that biker chic vibe, my focus has now turned to my maternity look and I am loving chunky boots mixed with dresses.. no doubt as it gets colder I will opt for chunky boots, leggings and oversized...
