Autumn Outerwear – October’s Thrifty Six

Happy Monday! This month’s Thrifty Six theme of Autumn Outerwear was chosen by Lucy. Coats and jackets are my favourite items of clothing to buy second hand; consequently I’ve built up quite a collection over the years. I have coats in every colour of the rainbow and more. A brightly-coloured coat can instantly transform an otherwise boring outfit into an eye-catching look.

Pre-loved coat and jumper

I bought this golden yellow coat on eBay a few years ago and I wear it regularly throughout autumn and winter. The warm hue brightens up a dull, grey day, but it looks even more vibrant in the sunshine. I teamed it with shades of blue for contrast, including this turquoise jaguar motif jumper that’s also pre-loved. I’ve mentioned in previous posts (here and here) how I waited for months to find it on eBay after it sold out at Monki. I saw it on two people at work and had to get one! It was worth the wait.

There’s only one thing in this outfit that I haven’t featured on the blog before: this fabulous faux fur bag. I went to TKMaxx to look for some trousers for my mum and as soon as I saw this bag my heart skipped a beat! I was almost scared to turn over the price tag in case it was designer, but to my delight it was only £21.99. Needless to say I didn’t hesitate in buying it, I absolutely love it! There were a couple of others in slightly different designs and colourways but this one was without a doubt my favourite.

 

Although there are a few different colours in this outfit, the deep yellow jaguar motif and yellow stripe of the bag match the colour of the coat. Plus, the bag also has a turquoise stripe to pick up on the main colour of the jumper. (There’s also pink in both the bag and the jumper). I deliberately wore the bag with the turquoise and yellow stripes facing forward to make the whole look more cohesive. I completed the outfit with my gold trainers and leopard necklace.

Now let’s see how my thrifty friends are styling their autumn outerwear…

Grace of Graceful Rags

“I have a couple of thrifted blazers and the faux fur coat I bought in Scotland, but I’ve shared all those pieces in previous Thrifty Six collabs…so I wanted to challenge myself to style this secondhand coat instead, which was my mom’s when she was a kid! I paired it with my thrifted jumpsuit, thrifted belt, and vintage clip-on earrings. This outfit is very “out there” for my usual taste but it somehow felt quite stylish and on-trend.”

“This is my Autumn statement…

 …and what a statement it is!

 Scarlet red faux fur can’t fail to turn heads.

 Autumn outerwear is October’s Thrifty Six theme…

 …not sure this meets the brief but it’s what I’ll be rocking this Autumn!“

Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style

“The gorgeous leopard print trench coat that I bought last winter on Vinted. And that I never had worn because it was too cold in the winter. And as soon as the sun starts to shine in spring, I wear my denim jacket with leopard print scarf. I only had worn it twice this autumn, so I kind of forgot about it. But it is such a treasure, I adore this coat!”

Lucy of Lucy Bertoldi

“I snatched this plaid pre-loved fall coat at my nearby Village des Valeurs- I just love to go peek in there regularly. When I spot out a gem, I grab it immediately before another style savvy fashionista gets her eye on it! Such purchases have me never looking back; just like with this one that I wear on the repeat.”

Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge

“I found this classic Talbots trench coat at my local Salvation Army many years ago. I think I paid $18 for it and it has proven to be such a versatile coat for both fall and spring. The light taupe color goes with everything and the loose fit makes it work if I gain or lose 25 pounds! It isn’t the most exciting coat, but it is perfect for statement dresses like this newly thrifted Zara dress that I have been dying to share!” 

That’s all from the Thrifty Six and our Autumn Outerwear… we’ll be back with another fun theme on the third Monday of November!
