Skirt, top and shoes – thrifted
Hat – ASOS
Clutch – Vintage 1930s
What I wore, more or less, out for drinks a couple of nights ago. The hat and the sunglasses didn’t come out because it was dark by the time we left, but these days an outfit never really feels complete to me without a hat. The bag didn’t either because I’m ridiculously precious about it and going out in Coventry never tends to be the tamest of affairs (in the end I went for something a little more sturdy).
In other news, autumn is slowly starting to creep up on us here in England and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Looooove this! Very autumn-y indeed. I know what you mean about not wanting to take out precious things with you, and that bag is a very good one!

Such a pretty outfit, the top is perfect! The leaves have just started turning here in the South West, too. It’s strange, it feels weirdly early for it to be feeling autumnal, but I couldn’t be happier about it either!
Joy September 4, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Finally an outfit post aha! Been missing these…you looks great here.
Anna September 4, 2011 at 9:15 pm

Brianne September 4, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Gorgeous clutch!!! Perfect for fall.
Christy September 4, 2011 at 10:16 pm
You look so cozy and lovely! Velvet is one of the silly wardrobe things I always connect with Fall. Right when I started getting into fashion (early in college), I bought a brown velvet babydoll dress that I liked to wear right when the leaves turned. :) Anyways… The cut of that top is really amazing on you, and I definitely understand feeling a bit protective of certain vintage purses and necklaces and things.
Amelia September 4, 2011 at 11:16 pm
so pretty, i love the velvet.
Jess Tran September 5, 2011 at 12:06 am
I love all the velvet, and the pop of neutral colour in that clutch.
Louise, Raspberries In Winter September 5, 2011 at 12:18 am

Oh I know what you mean about autumn! todays the first day that feels like it here in toronto, after a brutal hot weekend. I’m very excited. As for your outfit, everything is better in velvet, and those shoes are to die for. Your skin is like milk : ) I hope that’s not creepy ; )

I love the hat! I’d be tempted to wear it out at night anyway. And come to think of it, wonder if I’d get away with wearing it to the office…

I love the dress! Velvet usually looks dowdy to me, but this is beautiful and very feminine! Maybe it’s flattering neckline. Ian is an amazing photographer!
