Hey Lovelies,
This weeks post is kinda of ironic considering I am currently in warmer climates.......not trying to make you jealous, promise;).
Autumn/Winter is actually my favourite seasons for fashion, I love my chunky knits, scarves, boots and there is always that one staple item that makes a come back each year and might I add a great transitional piece between seasons which of course you have already guessed by now from the title of this post, is the fabulous Fur Gilet!
I have owned a couple of Gilets in my fashion time, but at the moment living where I am It does not make any sense at all to have one. So I am currently living my Autumn/Winter fashion dreams through online browsing and thought it would be fun to create 3 Fashion looks all inspired by the Fur Gilet. I chose to use all items from H&M for this post as to be totally honest this has been my go to store for many years and has not failed me yet.
Let's get in to it;
 |
| Look 1 |
Boho Chic meets Chelsea girl has been a popular look for some time now and one that I am always drawn to for the easy breeziness of it.
A stand out piece from this collage has to be the long chiffon print dress, which on it's own I would not normally go for but I think it works really well with this whole look and adds some fun to it.
I am crazy for this jewellery set in this collage and absolutely love each item which is hard to believe as I am someone who has always preferred to buy individual items as opposed to sets of things, but somehow this season H&M seemed to have got it spot on.
Finally to top of this whole look you have to add a fedora style hat which seems to be a wardrobe staple for most. Not only does it keep within the boho theme there is also a practical use for it by keeping your head warm on those cold fresh days. I chose this particular colour as it brings out the orange and red in the dress. If you wanted the look to be a little more understated you could swap the brightly colour hat for more of a taupe/mink colour that would work just as well with this outfit.

| Look 2 |
I have combined 2 different style tops in the mix, one being a basic polo neck top and the other being a blouse with a ribbon tie neck thing going on which I would gravitate more to than the other, being that it is loose, floaty and where the fabric is breathable I can easily get wear out of it in the spring/summer months too.
I added a pop of colour with the accessories to break up the neutral tones and can not get over this gorgeous burnt red which I personally believe looks good on all skin tones and is the perfect autumnal colour.

| Look 3 |
As I have based this look on a City Girl, I decided to go with a large size leather bag to carry our life in and topping off the look with a purple colour bold lip and Voila!
