With Autumn well and truly on it's way I thought it was definitely time to go shopping and give my much needed wardrobe a boost with everyday casual warm clothes. It was also the #bbloggers chats that made me want to go out and have a bit of a spend, I'm blaming this to make me feel better anyway! I could only spend a little bit though as I've finished university and still waiting for my job to start and for my first wage. So this is what I picked up out of Primark and Superdrug....
Black Military Style Coat with leather belt - £25
As soon as I caught my eye on this coat I instantly loved it and like a maniac began rummaging around in the hope they still had my size in it. I've already got parka coats, a fur coat and a leather jacket that I often wear in the Autumn/Winter but I knew I wanted something a little bit smarter. I love how the leather belt makes the jacket not as plain, and I don't think you can make it out on this picture but the bottom of the coat is a bit 'poofed out' (wow what a great technical description there Kayleigh) which gives it a bit more of a girly feel to it. And obviously for practical reasons it will keep me very warm.
Grey Over Sized Tee-£5
Pink Over Sized Tee-£5
I bought these two casual tees to go with skinny jeans or leggings with either my converse or my leather ankle boots or uggs if I can't be bothered and want to dress down. They look lovely on too and if I wanted to make it more dressy they look great with a chunky necklace or a long chain necklace. I can see me wearing these a lot.
Leather Silk Top - £12
First of all sorry for the creases in, this is how I bought it and wanted to get the haul post up before \I started wearing them! I think this is a lovely top that will be great for in the day time or even night time if I was going out to the pub or the pictures with a statement necklace. And leather is going to be big this season.
Casual T-Shirt-£5
Again just another comfy tee to wear with converse or boots. I love wine coloured clothing this year too.
Black Skinny Jeans/Leggings - £10
You can never have enough skinny jeans. These are classed as skinny jeans but have a bit of legging feel to them. They feel more like horse riding leggings. Very comfy and I live in skinny jeans or tights with dresses.
Black Clutch Purse-£5
My 5 year old River Island purse was well on it's way out and thought this was a bargain compared to how much I paid for the river island one.
Long Chain Feather Necklace - £3
This necklace will be perfect to add to the casual t-shirts.
Currently I own MAC, Revlon, Bourjois foundations but the urge over took me to try this one as I've heard so many great things about it, and I thought it will be perfect to wear for work.
I actually bought the shade 'On & On Bronze a few weeks ago and never reviewed it but I adore it and have since heard the Pomegranate is a very similar shade to the MAC cranberry what has been on my wish list for so long, a review of these two will be up shortly.
So have you started Autumn/Winter clothes shopping yet? Find any good buys?
Lovely items, particularly love the coat and the block top - very chic! Xx
