Was that crisp air I felt today?!

With summer finally waving goodbye, I am getting ready to embrace the cooler months ahead. I love dressing for autumn and winter because it’s all about layering up, wearing knits and knee high boots.

I recently headed to Westfield Chatswood to get started on my autumn/winter shop and was blown away by the choice of retailers and the fact that I was able to deck myself out in so many different styles all without leaving the building. I wanted looks that were on trend and were going to keep me going through the season changes.

 

Colour. Sometimes you just have to do it and do it all the way I say. My favourite ‘colour’ to wear is grey…..I can safely say I am a recovering neutral addict, BUT in this post I have shaken myself up and hopped on a rainbow train to colour-town.

I can honestly say there is something to be said about what happens to your mood when you wear colour. It’s uplifting, joyful and can turn a gloomy day into a bright one.

Now, I’m not saying I’ve let go of grey on grey on grey, forever, but it’s definitely given me a few more options in the wardrobe.

I’ve always had a thing for navy. It has a level of sophistication about it and I always feel like a proper grown up when I wear it. I love that it can be chic and classic, cool, casual and right on trend. It’s an alternative to black but too much of a stand out colour.

 

Winter is well and truly upon us so when it comes to rugging up for the colder months, nothing beats a warm knit. I’ve put together a few looks in this post for some inspiration on incorporating a knitted piece into your wardrobe.

Have fun with your own style and experiment with different pieces, shapes and styles!

It’s no secret I love stripes. I may have taken it too far this particular day….
