The one time I dress Wintery with enough layers, the sun decides to come out! Nevertheless I was quite pleased with my outfit, so have some snaps from the little private lookbook shoot I held for myself in the garden... I feel so embarassed and cheesy taking pics when people see, but managed to be ever so subtle and sneaky with this one. Yesss.

I wanted to wear my velvet devore print oxblood skater dress from Miss Selfridge, but so far hadn't been able to pair it with a jumper or cardi that seemed to go well with it. Fortunately, the weather was cold enough that I was forced to! I had a look around my wadrobe and decided to wear it with an old vintage jumper that I love, thinking that the burgundy in the jumper matched the dress well and the turquoise colours were nice and Autumnal (despite it nearly being Spring). I also liked the pairing of prints which I don't do very often as I always feel I'll get it wrong, so hopefully haven't this time!

To go with this whole Autumn thing I'd accidentally done, I wrapped up with a tan H&M coat I got for realllll cheap in the sale. I love this coat, it goes with nearly everything, isn't too heavy, and dare I say it - gives boring outfits a nice vintage twist. I'm not a hipster.. Naturally my little Accessorize tan bag matched very easily as well as my Urban Outfitters tan tassle pumps, and brought the whole outfit together. To bring out the reds in the outfit against the dreary green leafy background, I wore some of my new favourite lipstick - Mac in Dubonnet. I've never had the confidence to pull off red lipstick, and definitely think this shade is a bit Wintery but you can never really go wrong with red! (right?....)
