I have fallen so in love with the A/W Lookbooks that are starting to surface from the high street. I can never afford to buy as much as I want to from season to season so have to make sure I am careful to buy staples that will adapt over time.
I decided to team two pieces that I already have in my wardrobe with a couple of pieces from the high street that I will probably have to continue lusting over. The blouse is part of my debut collection, I can see myself continuing to wear it throughout A/W, layering it with cardigans as the months grow colder. It has an antique lace collar attached and these collars seem to be going nowhere. Thank goodness. I would love to wear it with these rich reds and tough mustards. A pair of ankle socks would finish this daytime look off perfectly.
This polka dot cutie I recently snapped up in River Island for £15(!!) In the sale. Polka Dots seem to be where it is at for the ladies over future months. Can Not Wait. I couldn't decide between the boots as have been dreaming of owning a pair like the Topshop wedge forever... (They would just go with so much) and am really starting to fall for these little mod cuties, I love how the Cuban heal would make the dress less feminine. Both pairs I can see myself slipping on in the morning and kicking off late at night. They would work really well as day to night pieces.
The blazer I would be inclined to swap for a fitted coat with a huge faux fur collar as the months draw in. But for now the Edinburgh weather is such that only a light jacket is needed.
