Charcoal Chapter

30 October 2014 Eldwick, Bingley, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK

 Yet another dark outfit. Sometimes I don't even realise I've forgotten to add a touch of colour but it's beyond my control. Today's look is a little different to what I usually wear on a day-to-day basis but it's definitely going to be a favourite in the chillier seasons. My dress, which is made of jersey is absolutely perfect for the weather. I'm more of a dress person, but with the sudden windy climate, it's difficult to wear my favourite skater style. When this straight cut dress was made for me, I was reluctant to try it as it's a little figure hugging, but after a few wears - this may be my new favourite item. The dress can seem quite formal due to it's shape, so to style it down, I'm wearing my favourite faux leather jacket and combat biker boots which contrast really well with the dress. During autumn, I tend to gravitate towards darker clothes, so I think this long sleeved dress is perfect - and I can always add colour over the top or in the accessories.
