Friday

Autumn Hues & Brown Boots

This is not the outfit the day started with - as it got colder and wetter outside, the cardigan & scarf were added and boots replaced pumps. Even though the weekend is to be warmer, today has a real feel of autumn to it and my colour scheme kind of fits that..
Jersey Cardigan - East
Blush Top - Dorothy Perkins (last seen here)
Jeans - French Connection
Scarf - Passigatti (local boutique)
Boots - Marco Polo (from TK Maxx - last seen here)
Close up of my necklace which pulls the colours together well and gives a bit of a focal point to the outfit. I can't remember where I got this one - it's an oldie.
And by request, here's a a round up of some similar brown ankle boots 
currently available online in my favourite shops:
This first pair is the closest in style to what I have but I'm including a range of heel heights and colours so hopefully there's a pair for everyone in this selection:
Hobbs Outlet £139
Boden - £129
(more of a grey/brown colour but in fact, that makes them more versatile than brown)
Zign Brown Boots - Zalando £75
River Island - £70
Esprit (not leather) - Zalando £69.95
Marks & Spencer - £59
Marco Polo - Zalando £149
Dune - £85
Hope you like my brown boot choices...enjoy your weekend and don't forget to enter the competition - only 24 hours left before I draw a winner of the £100 Fat Face gift card.

    1. Thanks Claire - hope you enjoy your weekend too...like I said below in other comments, the ankle boot look is one you really get used to. It took me a while after being a total long boot convert. They are perfect for this in-between weather when long boots are just not right yet. Loving your photos from Blackpool on the blog today, Avril x

  4. Oh gosh - more lovely boots but I just dug out a pair of Belstaffs that I haven't worn in an age that I literally had to dust the dust off so I don't think I can justify a pair of brown boots at the moment .... but there's no harm in looking is there?

    You look lovely - great legs for skinnies!

    Avril, those boots look great with the skinnies! I would never have put ankle boots with skinny jeans but this has really inspired me. I m relatively new to the blog, but now follow on FB and twitter. ( I'm the technophobe who can't work out how to enter The competition , @tashcat on twitter.

    1. Yay! Well done on your first comment! Thanks for the message - ankles & skinnies is a great look but needs to be gotten used to. The first time you wear it, you'll not be sure at all but after the second time, you're flying! Go for it :) xx

  15. I was surprised to see that sixth pair of boots are M&S. Might have to investigate those further. Great look btw!

    1. I can report with authority following a visit to M&S this morning that they are GORGEOUS in RL and they will almost certainly be a sell out. I was one of three women trying them on and one immediately went and bought them. I've posted a pic on the FB page on this link : Facebook xx

  16. Love the outfit Avril
    and the necklace is great and does
    pull everything together.

    Sun is shining here but it is cold.

    Hope you have a lovely weekend.

    Thanks for posting all the photos of the boots
    they are great.
    I need to buy a pair so hopefully will get
    something nice next week.

    1. Can recommend M&S for boots this winter Fiona - really impressed with the whole range when I was in this morning. Great grey ones and black ones...wish I could have bought them all! Have a lovely weekend xx

  17. You've inspired me that I can wear my new hush puppy ankle boots (that are still in the box,apart from when I take them out to look at them) with skinnies : )

    1. Of course you can but I'll let you into a little secret...it took me AGES to pluck up the courage up to wear ankle boots with skinnies. I actually had to just head out of the house in them without over analysing in the mirror - it's one of those looks that you just have to get used to...and now I have, I love it! xx
