Tartan is my Favourite Colour



   




I know it is still summer, however, because of a recent shopping trip at Bluewater I ended up purchasing some winter items, giving this blog post somewhat of a wintery feel, sorry. While in Bluewater I also discovered the wonderful world of Forever 21! Okay confession, I have come across the fabulous shop before in Amsterdam but didn't buy anything, so this was my first real time shopping there. I was impressed with the dupes they had of many Topshop items but for half the price! One of them being this black Fedora hat which cost me a mere £7! I also got a few other things from there which I might feature in a separate post if that interests any of you.

But, back to this outfit; the Boyfriend jacket was something I spotted in my local Topshop and I instantly fell in love with it. I would say the price was reasonable for something I will be wearing religiously this winter.  
The babydoll style dress was something I picked up in the Topshop sale, and despite being "very short" (my mother's words) I thought it would be okay with this coat and some chunky knit tights, for when it gets colder here in the England, which is guaranteed!
The Chelsea boots are also a Topshop item, but these are from last winter and they are very durable and look good which thick socks.
Finally, the tartan scarf! I am in love with this scarf and I know that last winter was when they really came back in again and everyone was getting them. I found this blue and green one from a local jumble sale I went to and it cost me something like 10p! I also have another one with red, white and blue in and it's also bigger; so I can wrap it round my neck, etc.
You may have also realised from the effects on these photos, that I have discovered VSCOcam. I absolutely love the look it gives my photos and I will continue to use it daily. If you haven't got it as a photo editing app then be sure to do so as its 100% free!

Hope you enjoyed this as a post, even though it's set in the wrong season! 
Although I will be away for the Christmas period, I sure am looking forward to the winter trends. As always I love seeing everyone else's style of clothing as it gives me inspiration and ideas for my own.

See yal soon,
