Summer Nights
29 November 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
Who say's you can't brighten the upcoming winter nights with a splash of colour? I think a lot of people reserve the darker colours in their wardrobe for the darker time of year, but I like colour so why not wear it? The bright blue and coral are two colours I just love to mix because I think they contrast so well. Blue is my 'comfort colour' so I often resort to wearing it quite frequently as I think it compliments my skin tone rather than clashes with it. Although the lighter and brighter colours are often associated with summer, the combination of colour is a favourite of mine so I couldn't resist. I chose black faux leather accessories as I wanted all the focus to be on my clothing. My bag is a perfect little purse to hold all my essentials; and also comes with a longer shoulder strap. My wedges are very basic is style but are so comfortable to wear and don't take away from my dress.

Berry Blend

No matter what the catwalk trends are for the season, the berry or maroon colour always returns for autumn. It's almost become a tradition as this colour, along with earthy tones sweep the high street stores and online. I personally love this colour, as I don't think it clashes with my skin tone which can sometimes happen. I decided to incorporate this colour into my outfit though my cardigan and beanie; although I do have a dress to match this exact tone, that would be going over the top. This colour blends really well with black and white, or earth-like tones like brown, moss green and oranges to match the colours associated with this season. If you have been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm closed to obsessed with jersey skater dresses because they're so comfortable and I don't often have to worry about the length because I can have them made to fit. Today's dress has a 'broken' stripe effect which I think livens up my outfit. To finish the look, I'm carrying a faux leather shoulder bag and lace-up hi-tops.

Texture Tangle

When you mix different textures together, it makes an outfit seem more diverse. They don't have to be extreme, like fur against silk, but even the subtle efforts don't go unnoticed. Although my cotton check shirt bring a lot of colour to today's look, I thought I would experiment with surrounding the shirt with denim, leather and even chiffon to complete today's outfit. Underneath the button-up I'm wearing a chiffon vest-top the peeps out at the bottom and adds a little length without taking away from the shirt. My favourite super skinny denim jeans are from Next and incredibly comfortable, matching my navy pumps by Nike. My shoes, jacket and bag are all faux leather which is an ideal fabric for this time of year due to it's warmth and durability. A leather jacket is a must-have, despite the colour or style. Overall, I managed to keep all the main focus on the brighter colours of my check or flannel shirt but still wear multiple textures and layers to keep warm.

Pink Lemonade

Today's jumper is one that I have had for a very long time, but just cannot let go. When I first bought the jumper I never wore it. I thought it clashed with my skin tone rather than complimented it and I didn't think the style was that flattering on my body shape. Immediately, it went to the back of my wardrobe and I didn't see it for a while. However, as autumn and winter rolls in, and I live in the north, I'm wearing thicker clothes nearly every day and came across this abandoned sweater from Next. I'm not totally sure what I was thinking a few years ago, but my mind has definitely changed. The cotton is very thick but not too heavy which makes this jumper great for today as the weather isn't too chilly. I also love the woven detail that doesn't stick to a set pattern which gives the outfit some texture. The white paired with pink makes the overall jumper seem lighter and brightens up my look. This top is the statement piece for my outfit so I chose my favourite charcoal jeans and dark accessories so they don't take away from the lovely colour.
