Thought I would add a little something to the usual "WAYW" threads Smile

I woke up this morning feeling the need for bohemian chic in which to enjoy this beautifully warm autumnal sunshine.

Teal silk flared midi skirt (Zara via charity shop)
Teal long sleeve tee (White Stuff) layered beneath:
Pale grey slouchy short sleeve tee with sequin heart detail (from small local boutique - no label other than "made in Italy")
ASOS Aggie Boots with ankle socks and bare legs.

black trousers (Next), grey marl long sleeve t-shirt (New Look) and purple cardi (Woolovers) with only top three buttons done up. Bare feet.

Why? I am 28 weeks pregnant and in the words of DH i am larger than i was with DS (only got to 30 weeks) and therefore this is all that was a)clean and b) fits

Jeans, scabby T shirt and a sort of Aran knitted cardi. I'm not looking my best, it has to be said. And why - because I can. Because there is no work-related requirement to look vaguely smart.

Burgundy superskinnies (River Island)
Oversized sloppy bright red and black striped sweater, half-tucked into skinnies (Pull&Bear)
Black patent brogue/loafer-type shoes (Logues? Brofers?)
Black leather jacket (Topshop)


Was going for an autumnal walk with baby DD and just felt like seeing if the colour clash worked. Think it does :)

Stella M grey skinnies
Blush M Birger angora jumper
Acne pale suede pistols and
bright orange Celine

I went to the park and looked at Vogue and felt pleased that even though I liked some of the things, in particular some Mulberry shorts (I think? I left the magazine in the car) and a blush top, the colours I am wearing are not too far out. So may not have to buy them after all.

Also a gorgeous Stella M blush-y pink coat in there.

I realise that's not why I'm wearing it, but a story none the less.

Navy M&S jeans with plaited leather belt done up tight (I've lost weight and it's actually to keep them up. With light leggings underneath Grin
Dusty pink low polo neck sweater: it's old from LL.Bean.
Designer dusty denim cotton knit zip hoodie (2nd hand from a Depot Vente in Fr.) I wore a fitted navy jacket when we went out. T'was also 2nd hand designer!
2 pairs of black cotton DH sox and slip on pink leather brogue type shoes. I wore navy brogues from Aigle when we went out

Why? because it's not warm in this house which has tiled floors all over downstairs (it's 15thcentury and the stones have cooled down from the summer heat we wait before putting on the heating.)We also went to the market this morning and the Fr. dress up a bit for anything "ouside' IYSWIM.

Black & white pj bottoms from Primark.
Black vest top
Grey cashmere cardie from Marks
Grey Ugg boots as slippers.

Why? Because I am full of cold & feel very poorly. And am knackered as finished an uber pressured job yesterday. Woe is me!

About to have bath & put fresh pj's on & slob on sofa with SCD & X Factor. Bliss.

Khaki Me&Em cap sleeved dress
Nude M&S heels (actually now Celtic Sheepskin purple slippers)
Chunky brown hook belt
Long pendants

Because I had clients and had to look smart. And I have gained weight with broken toe so was rather limited in options.

Black waxed skinnies (Zara), white silk tunic with black orchid print (Zara), big, black cashmere cardigan full of holes (M&S), brand new black ankle boots (Mango), very pleased as they didn't hurt and I walked a fair bit.

Why? Probably trying to look like a rock chick and in denial about being a mum/grown up.
