autumn/winter inspiration

all images from tumblr

As the autumn months roll in its a chance for us all to ditch the demin cut offs and floral dresses and to grab our oversized coats and jeans. Chunky black boots and layering are the key to surviving the british winter and as the colder days (and nights) start rolling in theres something familiar about wearing multiple layers and thermal socks with your boots. 

When the seasons change I have the urge to go shopping to buy a whole new wardrobe, as last years bobbly knitted jumpers just aren't good enough, but with the amount of choice online and in shops I have no idea what to buy. Being a poor college student who has to pay a ridiculous amount of train fare each month I simply can't afford to spend hundreds on items I probably don't need. With my saved items list on asos going into the thousands I need to slap myself on the hand and just buy what I actually need, like a coat so I don't freeze to death...

I love getting inspiration from tumblr and instagram on what Id love to be wearing and I'm sure everybody else does too. Heres just a few images Ive found that are inspiring me this week...

denim jacket - asos sale / jumper - primark / shirt - newlook / jeans - topshop

Just a quick ootd with my favourite denim jacket, I wear it so much I should really give the poor jacket a rest. I dress really casual for sixth form, I mostly wear the same comfy clothes that I can chuck on quickly when im running late (which is most days). I really need some new clothes in my wardrobe because I suddenly hate everything I own... If anybody has any online clothes shops they can recommend I would love it if you'd comment telling me so I can browse them all this weekend! All ill be doing this weekend is coursework and revise, its that time of the year again when ill have my head in my books 24/7 so I don't fail my exams! Anyway hope you enjoyed this outfit:)

leopard print galore

coat ~ asos sale

tshirt ~ asos

jeans ~ topshop 

I haven't posted an outfit for a while so I thought id post just a casual outfit. I ordered this jacket from the asos sale at a bargain of £21, Ive wanted a leopard print jacket for ages just so I can add a bit of print to an outfit when im wearing all black because thats normally what I always wear. I chucked it on top of a basic grey tshirt and my blue topshop leigh jeans which are so comfy. On my feet which you cant see I had on my fake creepers from amazon, which were painful breaking in! I also had a fringe cut in about a week ago, im still getting use to it and im not sure if ill keep it or not!

Winter Wishlist

leggings~river island

top~missguided

  coat~riverisland

shoes &necklace~ASOS

Heres a few of the things that are on my wishlist this winter, the disco pants are identical to the American Apparel ones but much cheaper! I really want a pair but cant afford to splash out on real ones.

The coat or 'coatigan' as its called on the website is just a fun jacket I would be able to just chuck on most days & still look like ive made an effort, river island are doing lots of these style of coats in loads of different patterns so go check them out.. theyre a bit pricey though, this one is £65 so when youre only get £10 a week then its just on the wishlist for the moment.

The boots from asos are a perfect flatform for the winter &im in love with them, Id do anything to be able to have them, better get saving up then! Also I love the cross necklace from there, its just simple but thats what makes me love it.
