Stepping Out of my Comfort Zone

The Victoriana look is something I very rarely go for. So is wearing dresses and ankle boots without tights, especially when the weather starts to get a little cooler. But look what happened the other day!

We've had some gorgeous sunshine in Doncaster lately, and the temperatures haven't been too bad at all for the time of year, so I took the opportunity to wear this dress sans layers. As I said, this just isn't a style I usually gravitate towards, but there's so much of it about at the moment that I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a whirl. Turns out I actually love it, and now I want a Victoriana blouse too!

This dress is so feminine and so much fun to wear, and it's pretty versatile too. I can definitely see it with some heeled over the knee boots and maybe a faux fur gilet once it's cooler.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at how nicely this fringed Topshop bag has transitioned from Summer to Autumn. I didn't think I'd get much wear out of it, but it looks like I'm going to find it useful for at least another season. It adds a seventies edge to the dress which I really like. The seventies trend is another one that's grown on me a lot recently. I wasn't too keen on it at first - I did the seventies in the nineties already! - but the shops keep bringing out all these pretty things and I'm starting to fall for it all over again.

Check me out walking in the cycle lane. Such a rebel.

Which trends will you be rocking this Autumn?
