HoC Autumns

[Seri77]

Thought I'd start a thread for autumns as the spring and winters threads seem busy and I feel I'm missing out!

I'm an autumn leaf and going for the style day soon. I haven't bought much this year as only had colours done a couple of months ago and waiting to discover my style before spending. I have been decluttering my wardrobe quite ruthlessly as I had a lot of the wrong colours/tatty clothes.

I did buy some Kettlewell tops and have had a few compliments so I certainly believe that colour analysis works.

Unfortunately my autumn/winter coats are black but expensive so I won't be replacing them for at least a couple of years.

Any suggestions for colourful hats/scarves/gloves to lift the black? High street brands please as I can't get parcels delivered to home.

That's much more like it Hopefully. Thanks to the style day I am at peace with my best jacket shape, so getting a toile would be a good investment. Useful to have a benchmark!

[TheWombat]

I agree that Oxblood colour isn't quite right. I know that colour looks dreadful on me, makes me look really pale and sallow. But I can tell Me and Em is going to be an expensive hobby!

hopefully your dressmaker sounds fab, is there any chance you can pass me their details?

I got my petrolly Levi's from the outlet at Clarks Village, Street in Somerset. It was basically a dark indigo wash but with a much warmer, greener tinge than usual. Haven't found any on their website but will keep looking :). Also liked that they had an 'edgy' (but subtle) zip detail on the back pocket which made them a bit cooler - would suit your style actually.

Thanks - that's £100 saved hurrah!

Still on the look out for this style though so if anyone spies please do let me know

[GeorginaWorsley]

I need more brick reds than oxblood I think,more on orangey soectrum

[Hopefully]

Wombat no problem, will pm you later when home.

[charitygirl]

I do not need another dress (need a jacket!) but the colours on this are so lovely
www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Dresses/Petite-Dresses/WH592/Womens-Roll-Collar-Dress.html?NavGroupID=4

Don't know why it says it's 'petite' though. Perhaps that will save me from buying it (might be a little prim for my style too. But the colours!).

[TheWombat]

Charitygirl I have my eye on that dress too, I think the print is stunning - not quite sure it's right for me, though. I thought they did regular and long versions too .

[GeorginaWorsley]

COS seem to have some good Autumn coloursi in .
Forest green and copper.

[schmalex]

Thanks hopefully. It feels like a long time to wait, but I'm sure it will be worth it! I'm getting very frustrated with the black/white/greyness of maternity clothes at the moment.

This is my pinterest board for autumn clothes.

[GeorginaWorsley]

Love your autumn board!
Toast definitely good for us.
shame about prices.
Spotted a moss green cardigan in Boden too.

There's a further 20% off The Dressing Room clearance this weekend with the code Clear20. I got an orange Becksondergaard scarf for £13.60! And Ash Alex trainers in Clay (not perfectly Autumn I have to admit) for £60. Delivery is free so great all round. There were some poppy red skinny cords with little flowers on - great for anyone who likes small prints.

[MoreThanWords]

I think I'm an autumn - hoping to get my colours done soon.

From another thread, here's a lovely dress in autumn colours - berry, burgundy, cobalt, and more ...

asos dress

[MadBusLady]

I have my finger hovering over the order button! Can someone tell me how asos own-brand fits? Have not ordered from them before.

[MoreThanWords]

I think if it's a stretchy fabric they're pretty true to size (only basing this on what I've read on other forums though).

[MadBusLady]

Thanks. Am usually between 12 and 14, have cautiously sized up cos been eating cake today

[MoreThanWords]

Nice with a jacket? me & em burgundy dress

similar but long sleeved

[loopyloou]

Watching this thread with interest, as I'm autumn too - mid brown hair, dark brown eyes. I look good in brown, but have to have some pattern, not solid colour, due to scalp psoriasis.

I have no money for clothes at present, but need to get rid of lots of winter clothes and buy in suitable colours when I can afford to. Would love brown jeans.

Can autumns wear plum colours? And can I wear as much black as I like so long as it's not near my face?

[TheYamiOfYawn]

Hello. I'm tentatively joining in as I suspect I might be a soft autumn. I am going to get my colours done properly soon, but I have mousy hair whichis currently dyed a dark golden blonde, I look truly hideous in black without a lot of make-up, I look best in moss green and generally wear a lot of brown, taupe and teal with mustard, olive and rust.

[Hopefully]

Schmalex love your autumn board.

Mad I've found ASOS own brand stuff pretty true to size, and surprisingly ok quality for the price too.

I am on a shopping hiatus for a few weeks (unless there is some nice loungewear in the new Hush range which comes out in a couple of days), but loving looking at everyone's Autumn links!

[shopafrolic]

Love your board Schmalex
I haven't got very far with mine yet but here it is if anyone wants a peek
I think plum is out although I do have a warm purple in my colour swatch nkf and no black at all in theory although I do cheat!

[kerstina]

I have never had my colours done but am pretty sure I am some kind of autumn as I have brown hair with golden highlights,hazel eyes and pale skin with a few freckles. I have always tended to wear earthy colours such as moss greens,browns. In fact last time I sorted my wardrobe out it made me chuckle how many different shades of green knitwear I had. I also wear grey a lot though and I like charcoal.
Personally I do not worry to much what colour skirts or trousers I wear. I think it is just what colour your hair,makeup, scarves,tops,dresses,coats are that are important in making you look ''well''
I found a forest green jumper in primark the other day that would have been perfect but the quality was awful. Really limp as if it had already been washed a hundred times.
White stuff have a nice top it looks grey but reviews describe it as a brown. It has lovely quirky buttons on too.

[buildingmycorestrength]

I am a bargain shopper, so forgive me for not linking to a posh item, but this has a couple of lovely autumn shades and might be cheap and easy way to transform a top that doesn't suit.

Now, will it be Linky...if not can you tell me how? Am on Android tablet.

[TheWombat]

Also loving Schmalex's pinterest board!

here is mine - it may have got a little out of hand, I need to trim it!

nkf not sure about plum - but purple is one of my double star colours, I need some more purple in my life! The oxblood reds and burgundies do nothing for me though, so I do have to be careful.

Hopefully I am also eagerly awaiting the Hush a/w range!
