Cosy outfit post

Autumn has definitely come in the North-East, it's time to wrap up in layers and brace yourself against those icy North Sea winds. I'm not planing on going out just yet, I want to stay in the warm for as long as possible, but tonight I'm going to see y boyfriend's new house. I might be getting the bus there which means waiting in the cold, so I've wrapped myself in knitted goods.

Jumper - eBay - approx £3

Skirt - H&M - £3

Knitted leggings - Primark, these were originally tights - £2.50

Necklace - The Mymble's daughter - http://www.mymblesdaughter.com/

I love this jumper, I think it's one of the best things I've ever bought off eBay. It's a tartan effect with a little collar and has some gold buttons at the neck. I wear it pretty much all year, it's not massively thick so you can wear it just as a top and not be too hot. I don't know if it's vintage, I can't remember what it said on the listing. The brand name in the tag is "Ayrbell".

The necklace that I'm wearing was a Christmas present last year, but I've only just started wearing it recently. It came with a short ribbon, but I put it onto this long gold chain myself. It has vintage-style picture of Little red riding hood on it, and the website it's from has loads of cute kitsch type jewellery.

My skirt is so useful, I wear it loads because it can go with anything. It's particularly handy for wearing over leggings if your top is not quite long enough to cover your crotch! It's just totally plain t-shirt material, so you don;t get the bodycon problem of your tummy being really squashed and feeling like you can't eat in case you get a food baby. Mine is from H&M and was so cheap, you can get other basic colours too. You can probably get something similar in Primark as well. 

The leggings are cable knit and just cute for the Autumn/Winter. They make a change to normal black leggings. Primark is really good for knitted tights and leggings. However I have found that their leggings fit well but tights are usually a bit too short. If you have a petite figure this shouldn't be a problem. If you are fairly tall like me (5"7) they might not be so good. This is why I cut the ends off this pair and turned them into leggings, because it gave them a bit of extra length and now they fit fine :)

Thanks for reading! :) x
