Thought I'd try starting this thread, although it might bomb Blush.

Just hoping for inspiration really of colours to wear together and outfit ideas. I'll start:

Navy wide leg trousers - Zara
Mustard long sleeve t - M+S
Navy, rust, mustard scarf - Tu

Am on holiday so bikini!
It isnt even an autumn colour either!

I'm wearing chocolate t shirt with mustard cami underneath and oatmeal cardi on top. Bottom half still not autumn compliant - black trousers, black shoes.

charitygirl · 28/08/2013 10:31

On holiday and going for lunch:
Dark khaki silky harems
Poppy red v neck vest
Tan sandals
Gold bangle
Khaki and brown necklace

House cleaning so old choc brown t-shirt and khaki shorts. Will get dressed later into a mink skirt and coral t shirt with tan birkenstocks ( have feet problems so need the support). Will also change toe nail varnish to be a warm dark orange. It still feels reasonably warm here.

I've just had surgery, so am wearing an Autumn compliant purple nightie and anti DVT stockings which helpfully came in a shade of petrol blue :)

It may be some time before my contributions become slightly more inspiring Blush

Thanks everyone for sharing, I am so determine to get out of my style rut, great to hear what you're all wearing.

Wombat I wish you a speedy recovery. I could only find black dvt socks when I needed them, horrible things.

Navy blue sailor trousers from NW3, teal(ish) and cream patterned top with birds and flowers, plus sea green Brora cashmere cardi (only £37 on eBay!).

And my slippers - not sure there is any hope for me.

wombat glad you're post-op compliant! Now as one of the few vibrant autumns, please spend your recovery time on Pinterest, so I can get more ideas for my post style day shopping trip Grin.

GeekInThePink · 28/08/2013 20:26

'Cranberry' though it's more berry than red- M&S jeggings

Cream and navy stripe boden scoop neck tee

With mustard scarf

GeekInThePink · 28/08/2013 20:27

Hope you get better soon wombat

FromGirders · 28/08/2013 20:33

Dark navy jeans from New Look
Choc brown vest top with brick red t-shirt over the top, both from primark.
Lovely plain shetland wool jumper my mum knitted in chestnut brown.
Tomato red school-type shoes from Clarks (I'm a kids size)
I wear a variation of this every work day. Primark has had loads and loads of vest tops and t-shirts in our colours for the last year. I have about thirty.

Stylish, non?

(Disclaimer, I'm a CM)

TheWombat · 28/08/2013 21:09

Thank you for your good wishes everyone :)
I can't move at the moment (grr) so I am spending waaay too long on Pinterest! My autumn board is getting out of control. Queen our boards are basically identical I think! ;)

shopafrolic · 28/08/2013 21:15

A bit late but I'm wearing
this dress
With tan Ash Spiral ankle boots

FromGirders · 28/08/2013 21:20

Not wishing to sound stalker-y, but how could I find your boards on Pinterest? Would I search for HOC Autumn, or something else?
I'm on there but in my real name, so I'm not putting it on here - though I've probably outed myself to anyone who knows me with the description of my sartorial elegance!

TheWombat · 28/08/2013 21:28

My board is called 'vibrant blue autumn' FromGirders, you could search for that. I think lots of other pins and boards would come up too. I usually search for HOC autumn or similar :)

FromGirders · 28/08/2013 21:57

thank you.
not much coming up for me, but I'll keep at it!

QueenofWhatever · 28/08/2013 21:58

I'm on there as Queen of Whatever.

FromGirders · 28/08/2013 22:01

(um, only one board came up for vibrant blue autumn, I hope I haven't just made you out yourself Confused, but as it's not a "real" name, hopefully it's ok)

shopafrolic · 28/08/2013 22:31

I'm Shopafrolic1

onlysettleforbutterflies · 29/08/2013 08:22

So today I'm wearing:

Black straight leg jeans - autograph
Black long line vest top - h&m
Abstract leopard print sheer long sleeve top - next
Nude heels - new look

I know, not very good on the colours but the leopard print is lots of rust, beiges and creams, so its kind of okay...

Not sure but think I'm a 'soft autumn' from looking at other charts.

Hmmm.

anyway am planning on wearing a khaki long sleeved t shirt
a bright red/carmoisine silk skirt (knee length - sounds weird but it's actually nice)

grey waist length fitted cardi

black tights
brown shoes.

Rooners · 29/08/2013 08:31

skirt

shoes
