How I updated my style with 5 new items

The 5 items that I brought to update my style for transitioning into Autumn

The 5 items that I brought to update my style for transitioning into Autumn

Now that we are transitioning into Autumn it’s time to look at what you have in your wardrobe. September can be a mixture of sunny warm days, cold moody days and lots of rain so it’s this transition that we need to dress for. You need to use current pieces that you have in your wardrobe from Summer and some other pieces from last Autumn or Spring and sprinkle a bit of newness in there too.

Often all you need is 5 perfect items to update your style and put a new spin on lots of things in your wardrobe and this is where my Fashion Fix service comes in. Once I know your colours, know your body shape and size and understand more about your lifestyle I can pull together the 5 key pieces you need to wear right now. Clients who’s wardrobe we have detoxed, added new pieces into and built up over time just need a small injection of newness that seamlessly go into your wardrobe and give you a style injection.

I challenged myself to get 5 new pieces for my transitional wardrobe on a budget of £120. I manged to use 2 discount codes in my 5 pieces and free delivery on all of them which means I came in under budget. My pieces are items that I can wear now with sandals if the weather is warm enough, I can layer over things and each other, and are versatile that I have been able to use them in different styling ways many times already. Having a more structured view on what I wanted to buy meant I was more focused on what I really needed, what made me happy and meant I kept in my budget restrictions.

I stuck to my colour palette, brought things that would last me through Autumn and Winter, so whilst they weren’t expensive investment buys, cost per wear will be high which makes me happy that I have spent my money well. Having a clearer idea about what I wanted my style to be and how I wanted to style myself made my choices better ones.

You don’t need a lot in your wardrobe and you don’t need a massive budget to update it, you just need me to find the perfect 5 pieces for you. For £25 you can’t go wrong getting some fresh new pieces for your wardrobe and styling advice from a personal stylist.

For all you Leopard print lovers

Every year, without fail, I write a blog post about Leopard print, whether it be coats, dresses, accessories, or just the print in general, it is timeless, stylish and always in fashion. It’s something that you can rely on to lift your style and your mood and it’s an investment in whatever you buy it in. This blog is about finding the perfect Leopard print dress. Throughout lockdown I seem to of collected 3 different styles of Leopard print dresses that I have worn & worn, love everytime I wear them and often get loads of comments about them too. My colouring doesn’t suit browns and warm tones so I have to be careful about the Leopard print colourway that I choose, the stone colourway has to be cool, or I just go with another colour like my Hush pink one.

All dresses I have brought I have worn throughout the Summer in Lockdown with sandals but now the weather has changed I am moving into trainers and boots. I could also style them with my leather jacket over the top, my denim Shacket, coats or a big cosy jumper thrown over the top too. I would also pop a black polo neck underneath the dress to wear with tights and boots when it gets really cold.

There are loads of dresses out there to pick from, it’s great to have a search around and see if you can grab one in the sale like the Whistles one I have featured below, or the brand Ganni often have their previous seasons leopard print dresses in the sale for a cool brand bargain. Once you get the perfect leopard print dress you will get excited to wear it, you will wear it often and it will never date.

Back in January I wrote a blog post about what jackets to buy to move into Spring, I featured the shacket ( overshirt / jacket), yes it’s a thing bear with me….I had brought my check one from Zara and certainly got alot of wear out of it and it’s potential for being versatile in your wardrobe is huge.

Now that the weather has turned I found myself reaching for it again and I have seen alot more shacket’s online whilst shopping these past couple of weeks. Here is my top 5 to buy now and believe me you will get so much wear out of this overshirt in the coming weeks its definitely worth the early Autumn investment now
