Cozy Autumn Outfit

Cardigan: Weekday
T-Shirt: H&M
Jeans: River Island
Scarf: Primark
Boots: Dr Martens
Necklace: Shop Dixi

This is my first ever, proper outfit post and man was it hard to do on my own. Turns out, those little Canon camera remotes only work at a certain distance which isn't ideal. However, I finally managed to get a few good shots of my go to autumn outfit (despite being the least photogenic person in existence, I have discovered).

This outfit is the one I reach for when I want to be comfy and warm. I'm not so much about trends and more about comfort, so I love a good jeans and tee combo. I am completely in love with Scandinavian street style however and I'm making it my mission to get as many stylish, yet basic pieces in my autumn wardrobe (hence the Weekday cardigan). 

Please give me some honest feedback on my first proper outfit post, I'd love to do more but there's always room for improvement. Also, let me know what your favourite, cozy A/W items are in the comments below.

OOTD: Dress to Shop

Jumper// H&M
Denim Shirt// Topman
Leggings// Zara
Boots// Topshop
Rings// Topshop, Topshop, Shop Dixi, Shop Dixi, Craft Shop, Unknown Jewellery Shop, Topshop
Necklace// Shop Dixi 

Before I go back to Cardiff I like to have a cheeky trip to one of my favourite places to shop on this earth, the Trafford Centre! When shopping, comfort is key, you can not get efficient shopping completed if your feet hurt or your too hot/cold. I chose the comfiest pair of Topshop boots (I would have liked to have worn my Dr Martens but I haven't quite broken them in yet). I paired it with a comfy pair of Zara leggings which keep you fully 'sucked in' with their thick waist band and thick, stretchy material. I then paired my cream, chunky knit H&M jumper and oversized denim shirt from Topman to keep me warm but not too warm. I hate wearing a coat when I go shopping because it is such a hassle, you have to keep taking it off and putting it back on when trying stuff on and your always too warm. 

To accessorise, I added my usual silver jewellery, collected from an array of different stores. I then grabbed my rather tatty (hence no picture) River Island bag and headed off to the magical world of Trafford. It wasn't too successful I have to say, but I did have a very good shopping trip the other day so I guess I can't have two good shopping trips too close together. I managed to pick up a new Dune handbag from John Lewis which you can see on my Instagram, but Boots didn't have the Bleach London Dip Dye kit I wanted, which is a pain because it's so hard to get hold of in store!

Do you make sure you dress for comfort when your on serious shopping mission? What did you think of my very first OOTD post? Do you think I should do more?
