Hasn't September descended upon us quickly? And what a marked change in the weather. Today started off with howling winds and crisp, autumnal leaves swirling around the ground in fine fashion. Even the garden table was blown over with an almighty crash. I, needless to say, opened a bleary eye, peered out of the window to see what it was and went straight back to sleep.
Look at the spikiness of the fecking thing!
So I thought today was an appropriate time to bust out the Jumper of Autumn which I may wear to death over the next few months. I'm branching out when it comes to colours - I've never been shy of wearing bold shades but I don't have many brown things in my wardrobe. I couldn't resist this though. Not only is it gorgeous but it has ELBOW PATCHES. What's not to love? Not entirely sure how I'd describe the colour though - any ideas? Conker? Or is that just the after effects of this morning's little present from the sky talking?
The only slight problem is that as it's sort of loose fitting and has slight split seams at the sides, it doesn't seem to photograph very well. Looked nice in real life though, honest. I think it looks mildly better in this picture - check out me featuring a photo where you can see my bum! That's progress.

I'm loving elbow patches at the mo- reckon I need to invest in a slouchy cardi. Love the colour- I'd go with describing it as Rust?!

I'm loving the elbow patches!! And I love the color. I've been expanding into more browns. I love blacks and grays, but with my tones brown is better suiting.
ReplyDeleteI do like this top! Keep rocking it all fall/winter.
Ooo,nice bum!!Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for comfort!

Maddie's right, that's definately a rusty-orange shade and fabulous with your colouring. Check out your bum and legs,too.

Me and my nan used to go conker picking, come back with huge bags of them ready to play conker fights with.

I hate the change in weather. It's so depressing. It feels like we had sun and warmth for all of a week and now it's gone!
ReplyDeleteYou look very autumn chic! :-)
Sorry but I laughed when I read about the conker, that has happened to me, bloody things.
ReplyDeleteYay for jumper time, I need to rummage for my winter stuff now, it's quite exciting seeing stuff I had forgotten about.

Elbow patches! Amazing! Now, as someone who owns a ridiculous amount of all sorts of clothes, I don't own anything with elbow patches! So now I feel like I'm lacking..!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably describe that colour as .. rust?
You look great :)
It was really dark & cold & pouring with rain etc when I got dressed this morning, so cracked open a new packet of tights, & opened up a new cardigan - by mid-morning the sun was shining! So confusing. I was hot all day!
