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!

Autumnal #OOTD

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!

Fall #OOTD

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.

  2. That really suits you well! It is way too cold to wear no tights around here, even if the sun has been poking out a little today, but there will be warmer days again.

  9. Love everything about this outfit and photos Kate! You make a white dress work for Autumn and it looks so pretty against the trees and leaves :) I think you could layer it with a really long chunky knit cardigan.

  21. What a cute dress, I never would have guessed it was from SheIn, it looks more like Free People or Urban Outfitters. I didn't like the 70s trend initially either, but am loving the lace and suede now.
