Breton stripes (and black glitter ankle boots!)...

 As we edge into Autumn, I pulled out this striped dress again and added some slightly more seasonally appropriate accessories to combat the chillier weather. I wore it to meet up for lunch with the lovely Hattie a few weeks ago. It is always nice to see her, even of we are the worst bloggers for taking photos when we meet up!
Dress: Isabella Oliver (clothes swap), leather jacket: New Look, belt: Primark, socks: H&M, ankle boots: Primark
Since buying the new Kate Moss lipstick, I having been loving richer berry shades and this Revlon Matte is that perfect shade of 'just finished a bottle a glass of red wine'.


Plus it matches perfectly with my nail varnish, Nails Inc. in Tate. Slightly darker than your classic reds, it's one I always go back to when I want a dramatic but wearable look. 


The highlight of this outfit was definitely these shoes, though. Is there anything more fun than black glitter ankle boots?! I bought these to wear out on my birthday (I think they are suitably party-like!) but realised that I hadn't actually broken them in so I dug out my ankle socks again to protect my feet against the inevitable blisters. Although they are from Primark, they are surprisingly comfortable and they don't shed too much glitter when I walk, which is always a risk with glitter shoes!


Would you wear glitter ankle boots? How do you transition your clothes from season to season?

very rock and roll and I LOOOVE those boots. I never go in Primark anymore because I do most of my shopping online but I think I need to go on the hunt for those boots x

I love the glitter, but the heels are a bit too short for me; I'm a bit weird and prefer either totally flat, or high heels. Not a fan of the chelsea boot style which seems to have been everywhere for a while. I'm not sure what it is about them either, just personal preference I guess.
