3 Additions to my Autumn Wardrobe + Outfit Ideas

*Items mentioned below have been gifted*

Like I have mentioned before, I am very slowly forming my version of a capsule wardrobe and I felt like I had a few items missing from my autumn capsule. I like to use Pinterest to give me ideas of how to wear items in my wardrobe differently and I have found a lot of the photos I am drawn towards, have items with a very smart and polished feel to them which I used to have a lot of only a few years ago. This was before I started working in an office and I didn't think I would ever wear them again. Fast forward a couple of years and most of my gorgeous patterned shirt are in my parent's neighbour's daughter's wardrobe your welcome.

So when Femmeluxe asked me if I wanted to try a few of their pieces to add to my wardrobe, I was very appreciate as the website is full of gorgeous items. I picked out four items which I thought would work really well in my wardrobe and suit my body shape. 

The first item was this Black Polka Dot Fishnet Sleeve Shirt which I picked up in a size 10. I have an array of shirts in my wardrobe now which I wear on a day to day basis. I love to wear them to work with a smart pair of black fitted trousers or at the weekend with a pair of light blue mom jeans. I am lucky that shirts suit me really well so I can basically pair them with any bottom and they look pretty good, if I say so myself. I also don't normally wear shirts untucked because I find them can drown me and my body shape but actually, the length of this shirt makes it great on top of bottoms. I definitely think I would get a lot of wear out of the white version as well as I am trying to add more light staple colours into my wardrobe. Changing up my wardrobe for autumn has shown me how much black I actually own. 

Now with sizing I picked up a size 10 which is true to size for me and fits me really well but for someone will bigger boobs pancakes over here I would maybe size up once to make sure the buttons don't pop open on your boobs. I love the way the shirt sits on my shoulders with the top bottoms open. Feel free to head on over to the website to see the shirt on a much better model then me!

My next item which I have been on the look out for since last autumn are a pair of Black High Waisted Faux Leather Look Leggings. I think when planning your autumn winter wardrobe leather look leggings can be a big staple. I have been looking at different styles and deciding whether i want ones with belt loops or the more basis leggings style and i think for the way i want to wear them with big oversized jumpers and cardigans, the leggings are the best option.

These are so comfy to wear and they feel even more comfy with a big fluffy jumper like the white one above. Now I picked them up in a size 10 which fit me perfectly when they are on and i can already tell i will not be pulling these leggings up during the day. I am extremely short at just 5 ft so I have had to roll the bottoms up but I think i prefer the look that way as it balances my short legs. 

I love the look of these with my black suedette boots as well as my black loafers so depending on where you are going ,you can make the leggings look more smart or more casual.

The next item I purely pick up because they looked so comfy on the website and I don't have many lounge sets in my casual home wear wardrobe, so I picked up the Dusty Pink With White Stripe Lounge Wear Set. Whenever I am at home just chilling, I normally looking not very cute in some over worn pjs and I want to invest in some lounge sets. Something that is comfy enough to wear lounging around the house but if I needed to pop out to the shop I could just run straight out.

I picked up the dusty pink pair because the colour is so gorgeous and I think they are a great colour to mix and match with other bottoms and tops. I could wear some blue jeans and the top or wear a cropped one top with the bottoms. I picked these up in a size 10 and i could do with a size 10 bottom and a size 12 top just so it is more baggy and comfy. For the photo I have paired the bottoms with my basis Levi's t-shirt. 

Now for a few bonus items! 

I ordered this Black Polka Dot Ruched Puff Sleeve Mini Dress along with the other items and which I'm sure you can tell by the picture why I wanted it. I wanted a easy to wear dress to add to my wardrobe for when I had an occasion and I needed to look like I have my sh*t together. This black and white dress was perfect but I totally underestimated the size of my bottom region and couldn't get the dress over my bum. I picked it up in a 8/10 when really I am the bigger end of the size 10 scale so really to make sure it fitted, I should have got the 10/12. Lesson learnt! I definitely want to try the dress again because I think it will be a great additional to my wardrobe. 

A few other pieces which I have my eye on from the website are this Black Satin Pleated Midi Skirt. I lived in my rust orange colour pleated skirt from H&M this year and I know I would get so much wear out of the this black style. With a black shirt and a pair of heels or with a cropped jumper and a black of black heeled boots.  

Lastly I have my eye also on this Black Fishnet Sleeve Top which like the photo on the website, would look so cute with some light blue mom jeans and black loafers. I really like the look of mixing smart and casual items and this outfit is perfect.
