How’s your week going so far? It seems to be going really quickly. On Saturday I went to the Good Clothes Show in Manchester, which was excellent. I met up with some familiar faces, including Lou (aka Luinluland) as well as meeting new people. I had a style reading with Alexandra Standley, who, like me, is from Peterborough. Small world! For my reading, I picked a card from two decks that were laid out – one tarot and the other angel cards. I turned over the Discernment angel card, which signifies sensing what feels right or wrong and trusting my intuition. We discussed how that applies to personal style, in addition to interpreting my astrological natal chart. I found it really interesting.
There were two catwalk shows featuring emerging designers, plus lots of stands selling the most incredible clothes and accessories.You may be surprised to know that I was very restrained and only bought one thing! Leigh Francis was one of the special guests (he’s being tipped as a contestant for this year’s I’m a Celebrity). Oh, and a reporter and camera crew were there from BBC North West Tonight (where I work) so I had a good chat with colleagues too. All in all, a brilliant day.
Today’s outfit was inspired by a rummage in a drawer I usually forget about. I pulled out this pink short sleeved jacket and the shirt happened to be underneath. I knew instantly that I wanted to put them together. To create a tonal look, I teamed them with these wide leg trousers that I wore for one of the poetcore outfits I created recently. Burgundy and pink is one of my favourite colour combinations for autumn. The sugary pink contrasts against the darker base colour, while the pattern of the shirt brings them together. To complete the outfit, I added burgundy sock boots and a pink bag to match the jacket.
Apparently cold weather is coming soon, so that means I’ll be digging out my faux fur coats and thermals!

Emma, these are definitely your colors! I can’t believe the two tops didn’t come together because they look like they were made for each other as well as the trousers! I just love the entire look! Thanks so much for the link up!

Emma, I can’t believe you keep the blouse and the jacket in a drawer that you usually forget about, they should be on a high rotation. Such a great outfit, the colours sit harmoniously together and you look great wearing them
Pink and burgundy feels like such a fresh color combination—it suits you!
