OOTD: Winter is Coming

As of late, it’s been pretty grey in London, which can only mean one thing. It’s time for everyone to start making 2 year old references. Yes, Winter is coming. In England that means grey skies, rain and wind. I live in such a beautiful country. Seriously though, it can make taking outfit photos a little bit tricky. But life would be boring without challenges, no?

Luckily for me I don’t mind wrapping up in layers and a big ol’ scarf. Actually this year I feel pretty prepared for the cold weather. In previous years I’ve found myself with only one pair of water-proof shoes, and a lone coat. 2015 has seen me take a different approach to fashion, and being more considerate of what I buy. However that has actually meant that I’ve ended up with everything I need, such as the items I’m wearing here. I’m content in not having to worry about whether I’ll be in trouble if I get stuck in a downpour, or if it suddenly gets chilly. In fact I’m pretty certain that with just a little bit of thought, fashion can also be functional.

OOTD: Love the [faux] leather!

(Jacket: Primark, Scarf: Miss Selfridge, Top: Topshop, Jeans: Primark, Shoes: Primark)

As you can see I’ve been layering up now that Winter is here.
It feels like we went right from Summer to Winter and skipped Autumn.
Anyway, I enjoy layering clothes and big comfy scarves, so I don’t really mind.
My new faux leather jacket from Primark is one of my favourite latest additions to my wardrobe.
I know that I’m going to need to wear something warmer now so this allows me to layer without a coat.
I’ve been enjoying staying comfy and still feeling fashionable, and I think that’s going to be my ‘thing’ this Winter.
The new slipper shoes I grabbed from Primark were to replace another pair of flats that died on me.
They’re comfortable and I like the stud detail but I wouldn’t suggest wearing them without socks.
I tried to but my feet felt like they were going to drop off – I’m not impressed English weather!

OOTD: Crystals & Leather

Top: Internacionale | Skirt: Miss Selfridge | Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Here is today’s outfit…well last nights. I don’t often post my ‘night’ outfits on here, so I thought it might make a change. I was just going for a meal with the fiancé so hopefully I didn’t look too OTT…or gothic, in all black.
AGAIN.
The shirt is a sheer material with gold & ‘crystal’ studs dotted all over it. Add my mini faux-leather skirt, deadly panther court shoes & Marc Jacobs bracelet, and you’re done! I even took a chance with the weather and went bare legged, for the first time in months. Very liberating! Altogether nothing too fancy, but not something I personally would put together for a casual day outfit.
What do you guys like to wear for a night out?
