Finally, an autumn styling option which will take you day to night....the cosy jumper and silk midi skirt combo. As mentioned in my last post, I am so excited for colder days this year because it’s been four years since experiencing a proper British autumn/winter. I’ve been on the hunt for the most luxe looking slip skirts and dresses to style with chunky jumpers to put together this edit. This combo is great for daytime with chunky trainers and your favourite sunglasses. For night, just add a low strappy heel and smaller handbag. Opt for an on trend silk bag or a clasp detail clutch with a statement strap.
For colder days throw on a blazer, trench, or double breasted wool coat for the ultimate layered look.
Finally, my favourite season is here! Pumpkin spiced lattes, candles burning and layering has begun. Does anyone else look forward to October? I recently took a trip to Florence and was so nice visiting a European city without all the summer crowds. Italy was on my travel list this summer, but the months just slipped away and couldn’t face a busy Capri, as much as it was on my to do list. There’s always next year! Mornings in Florence were crisp with the sun shining, exactly how autumn should be.
It’s so nice to be wearing proper tailoring now we’ve said goodbye to humidity until next summer. And I know I will be wearing this red Monsoon blazer and trouserswith a coat layered in the winter. It’s such a versatile outfit. I always opt for kitten heels with my suits, but being in a city exploring on foot/bike trainers were the best option. It was also refreshing to not have the trousers taken up as they were the perfect length on me and I’m 5 ft 3. Bonus! This outfit was shot at Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as ‘The Duomo’.
Day two involved a bike ride along the river and coffee shop hopping our way through the city. Turtle necksare going to be my staple for winter, so it was nice to mix things up a little incorporating this style into a dress. Mornings in Florence are currently around 10-13 degrees celsius and it reaches about 23 in the afternoon so adding a morning layer was key. This coatactually comes with a detachable faux fur collar, which I think will change up the look for the winter months. The riding style boots were perfect for the bike ride, and avoided a lot of nicks!
Now I am home.....craving the little Nutella croissants. This happened the last time I went to Italy!
