Top: Aliexpress, Cardigan: H&M, Coat: Topshop, Necklaces: Aliexpress
Summer is beginning to draw to a close and me and Charlotte have been eagerly awaiting this change of season. What's not to love about Autumn/Winter? Halloween, bonfire night, Christmas films, cranberry smokey eyes and dark lips... the list goes on!
So inspired by the dropping temperature I decided to experiment with layering outerwear pieces in neutral shades to switch up my usual leather jacket option. This textured cocoon biker coat was from Topshop a while back and adds sophistication to any look and to be honest this outfit needed just a touch to pull back from being full on Taylor Momsen...
My top is a UNIF dupe from Aliexpress.com, really worth a trawl through for bargains as my necklaces are both from the same site and were unbelievably inexpensive. I am wearing a Primark black bodycon skirt underneath the vest by the way, my mother asked the same question.
Here's to the start of all things Autumn!
Now that the sun is somewhat here I can FINALLY break out my UNIF vests that I got for Christmas. I love UNIF and the distressed look of their clothes, as some of you may know their slogans get quite cheeky so I tried to pick pieces that I could wear to work and around town without offending haha. My jeans are All Saints from the outlet store in Cheshire Oaks so I paid around £30 for them instead of £180. They have a really subtle yet interesting baroque pattern on them that I love and the textured knee adds to the biker style. My leather jacket is new and I absolutely adore it. The fake leather is soft and the style is simple yet classic. I picked it up from Dorothy Perkins which I think is overlooked quite a lot, as a previous sales advisor I would recommend having a quick look in now and again, as they are in the Arcadia branch their styles are often similar to Topshop but a smidge cheaper. To be honest though it is quite overpriced still!
My choker was recommended from Grace and was around £2 which is fab as I've seen them go for a LOT more. The quality is what you pay for - cheap. But really who's complaining for such a low price? My skate shoes are still causing me pain but I love the way they look, hoping that one of these days they'll finally be comfortable.
Super simple yet still my go to biker style.
Ya dig?
