This appears to be round two of my admittance to my love of stripes, but what can I say- I'm a stripe addict plain and simple.They go with most things and are just so easy to wear. I seem to own the same pieces of clothing just in different stripe variations multiple times over. I just can't get enough of them. The latest addition to my overflowing collection is this shoulder cut-out tee from Topshop. I picked it up in the sale for £8 ! (it would have been wrong not to buy it.....). I like pairing it with simple black skinnies and black flatforms for an elegant autumnal look. Sometimes simplicity is best when it comes to everyday dressing and this top just sums that up. To add a bit of umph I wore my new purple lipstick from Collection. I am trying to force myself into wearing more purple in my makeup for the autumn so this is a good place to start!

       

       

        

         

         

      

I own far to many striped pieces of clothing. Quite frankly, I just own too many pieces of clothing, but stripes is a main theme across my wardrobe. I have been trying to stick to some kind of spending ban at the moment but I have to say I'm struggling. This is why I have been trying to wear more of the clothes in my wardrobe as I actually have quite a few things that I have only worn a number of times. When I'm looking around a shop lusting after something new, I remember the words of the great Gok Wan 'Shop Less, Wear More' and that is the ethos I'm trying to stick to!

                           

                           

       

                                     

                               

                                        

        

I picked up this dress in Primark for a fiver last year. I didn't wear it too much as it wasn't a very flattering length, so I took five minutes, sewed the hem up an inch or two end et voila- a new dress! I really like how quirky this dress looks with the little collar and I like the fact that because it's striped it can jazz up more plain pieces like black and grey jumpers. Simply pairing it with tights, boots and a berry lip is a pertect at to make it autumn appropriate!

I love dressing in Autumn and Winter as you can have so much more fun with layering and texture in an outfit. With the weather currently like it is layers are key, and my favourite combination at the moment...dresses and jumpers. I am utterly in love with this fluffy black jumper from Primark. They are all over the place at the moment but I just love the way they add interest to an outfit through texture. I've layered mine over this monochrome tea dress that I picked up for a fiver in Primark. I just love how versataille and effortless this look is. I'm thinking of picking up the same jumper in cream as they are so easy to wear!
