Autumn Brights

Oh dear, it's been an awfully long time since my last post! I blame the fact that we moved into our new house at the end of August - moving is stressful and needs lots of recovery time obviously! And I still need to sort out some of my stuff. I've got lots of exciting things I want to post about though so hopefully I'll be a bit more regular again.

First up is my very first outfit post, something I've wanted to start doing for ages. My very first introduction to the world of blogging was the wonderful Selective Potential - hers is still one of my favourite blogs - and ever since I discovered this fashion blogging thing I've always wanted to have a go. I put it off for ages, feeling not thin/pretty/fashionable enough (and not wanting to demand that someone take millions of photos of me!), but I decided now was the time to take the plunge...

Can you tell I'm still working out the posing?! Haha. I bought this hat in the Miss Selfridge summer sale a few months ago and I've been waiting for autumn to arrive to wear it - I think the deep blue and yellow jewel tones complement each other really well. The beginning of autumn can be a really bright season with the changing leaves picked out against a bright blue sky on a (at the moment rare) sunny day, and I wanted to channel that while I still can!

These photos were taken in the garden of our new house (except the last one, which is outside the front door as you may be able to guess). I'm excited to eventually paint and decorate and really make the house our own! Though for today we really just need to tidy up...
