Inspired By Autumn Colours – November’s Style Not Age

It’s the last Monday of the month (already!) which means it’s time for another Style Not Age challenge. It was Hilda’s turn to set the prompt for November and she chose “Inspired By Autumn”. When I think of autumn (or fall) colours, deep oranges, reds, greens and browns come to mind. Unusually for me I didn’t choose an orange based outfit. Instead I opted for rich burgundy with this velvet jacket, hat and bag. The check trousers also have a very thin stripe of deep red running through the print. They were such a bargain from a Marks and Spencer outlet several years ago – only £7! They’re such good quality too.

The retro mushroom print top is in keeping with the autumnal theme – my garden is full of them at the moment. I wish I knew which ones are safe to eat, but I’m not going to risk it! Now it’s turning cold I’ll be getting my faux fur coats out – that’s one of my favourite things about winter! I can imagine wearing one perched nonchalantly on my shoulders like the fashionistas at fashion week. I also have a cape that would look great over this outfit.

Let’s see how my blogger friends styled an outfit inspired by Autumn…

Hilda has wrapped up in a cosy outfit topped off with a new orange scarf. Everything else is shopped from her wardrobe. Visit Over the Hilda to read all about it.

Anna is giving me outfit envy in this fabulous burnt orange ensemble. She’s wearing a faux fur jacket from TK Maxx, Joe Brown’s floral dress and orange boots from ASOS. Head over to Anna’s Island Style to catch up with Anna.

Gail has shopped her wardrobe for everything except the gorgeous yellow Gianni Feraud coat which she bought at Asos, reduced from £265 to £75 – what a bargain! She has teamed it with brown M&S jeggings, boots from Office, and a scarf and light green top from Kettlewell. Visit Is This Mutton? for all the details.

Jacqui has combined a Bonmarche jacket and dress with boots from Clark’s (via eBay) and Teddy Blake bag. Hop over to Mummabstylish to find out more.

That’s all for this month, we’ll be back with another Style Not Age instalment in December. It’s only four weeks to Christmas…time is flying by! Are you ready yet?
