Keeping it simple





Wednesdays are my short days and I finish at 11:15am so grabbed my camera and got a few photos of today's outfit. I recently moved house and have had a lot of college coursework and other good stuff like uni application deadlines going on too so I haven't had time to blog anything for a while. Either way I wanted to style this incredible longline jumper that I bought a few weeks ago. After I got home I debated adding jewellery, a scarf or something to spice it up... and then I realised, this is how I rolled out of my house this morning, this was how I rocked up to college, why change it for my blog? 

I had been eyeing the jumper up for quite some time, wandering in and out of newlook on separate occasions making sure I really liked it before I bought it. I'm not exactly frivolous with my money and am trying to be a little more selfless and ultimately stop buying clothes I won't wear. In the end I obviously caved in and bought it, but it's perfect for the weather and was so happy to snuggle into it this morning. As you can see it is a pretty basic outfit but I'm slowly trying to work out my style, and I like the simple 'threw this on at 7am' kind of look.

September buy's

I am extremely excited for autumn, to me its the perfect time of year; not too cold and not too hot. 
I'm ready for cozy nights in, (like I didn't do that anyway lol), firework night and just enjoying a new season for what it is. Not to mention that the trees turning yellow and orange is just beautiful-am I right?

I always think outfits look so effortless yet well put together when you've just thrown on about a dozen layers. I've been a little more concious recently about what I've been buying and if I'll actually get enough use out of it. I've recently-ish discovered depop which has been a godsend as I've managed to sell lots of my un-worn clothes and have made some money to re-vamp my wardrobe. Luckily for me I also get free uniform at work every season, hence the kimono top and pleather skirt (two thumbs up and a fist pump for that!)
