Winter Wearing

Hello you beautiful lot! I'm back and it feels like AGES since I last blogged! School is such an inconvenience...
I am loving this autumn-wintery weather; it is the perfect excuse to adorn myself with scarves and drink excessive cups of tea and Starbucks. I thought today, I would share with you a few of my most recent Autumn/Winter '13 inspired outfits and I'd love to know what you think of them.
WARNING: This post is extremely "selfie-central"-like; I apologise in advance.

Seasonal Sass

Dungaree Dress; Primark £12, Top; New Look £10, Tights; Primark £3, Socks; Topshop £3.50, Shoes; Deichmann £15
 
This is definitely one of my favourite outfits. I wore this outfit a lot in the summer without the tights but when you team it with knitwear eg. woolly tights and a chunky cable knit jumper, you get a delightfully Vintage look. The flowers on the top give this otherwise tomboyish outfit a feminine edge. Dungaree dresses look great on anyone as they have a simple smock dress shape which is flattering on any figure.
 
Autumn Leaves
Top; Topshop £18, Jeans; New Look, Lipstick; Avon £3
 
I was feeling so inspired by autumn leaves the other day that I decided to steal their colours! I combined green, brown and red for a warm and rustic look; the red lips adding a hint of glamour to the outfit. I don't own much green but I adore this emerald shade as it compliments my greeny-blue eye colour perfectly! I wore this outfit with fur-rimmed boots and a denim jacket but it would look fab with Chelsea boots and a leather jacket.
 
Tartan Girl
Top; USC £6, Necklace; Primark £2, Shorts; New Look £20, Socks; Topshop £3.50
 
I may be slightly in love with these shorts. And by slightly, I mean very. Tartan is absolutely essential this season, whether it be a plaid scarf or a lumberjack shirt. Obviously I would get quite chilly in this outfit alone so try teaming the top and shorts with patterned tights and a waterfall, knitted cardigan.
 
Co-ordinating with the weather
Jumper; Primark £12, Jeans; New Look £10, Necklace; New Look £5
 
So, being a British chick, I don't see the sun often in Autumn and today was no exception. I decided to colour co-ordinate with the dark sky on this occasion and I went for the monochrome approach! I often get compliments on this jumper and people are usually surprised that it is from Primark as it looks a lot more expensive. Black jeans are such a great item as they look fab with anything and are essential for the winter months.
 
Winter Wonderland
Dress; USC £25, Tights; Primark £3
 
Okay, so, the tights with this dress aren't such a great look but I was only trying it on at the time! I adore this dress as I am a strong believer that a girl can't have too much sparkle in her wardrobe! This is the perfect party dress and I have chosen to wear it as my Christmas day outfit! Team this dress with a suave pair of heels and a chunky gold bracelet for instant sophistication.
