Welcome to October everyone! Just like every other person on the planet, I can't believe that we are so far through the year but I have to say, October is my favourite month (and not just because it is my birthday!) This outfit sums up Autumn for me; cosy checks, chunky cable knit tights and brogues, you really can't go wrong with comfort at this time of year! I have wanted this dress for a long time and I managed to pick it up when French Connection had it in the sale. It is a gorgeous soft, brushed cotton and although I bought it a size bigger than I needed to, I think the slouchy fit actually helps to give it that cozy weekend vibe which I love. I wore this for a day of running errands and it has to be one of the comfiest outfits that I own, short dresses are great for just throwing on but I never know where to find them, any ideas?
I'm not really a fan of collarless shirts/shirt dresses as they just don't look right on me but I decided to try folding the lapels down and actually this made it a lot more wearable for me. I don't know what it is about round collars but I am much happier without one...
This gives you a slightly closer look at that gorgeous print and an idea of just how soft that cotton is. I swear, this outfit is as close to pyjamas as I am able to get away with when I have to leave the house! Please ignore the fact that I completely missed the belt loop here, clearly I don't kick my brain into gear at the weekend ;)
I was planning on wearing this with nude tights and some of my brown ankle boots until I realised that the sides are cut really quite high- no-one needs to see that much of my thighs! Instead I decided to go for my chunky cable knit tights and my beloved sparkly brogues, definitely the most fun pair of 'practical' shoes that I own and a staple at this time of year - I can't wait to crunch through the leaves in these! Brogues are one of those styles of shoes that I love on other people but struggle to wear myself, any styling tips for me?

How do you wear brogues? Any recommendations for where to get a good shirt dress?

This dress looks so cosy, I am buying into the idea of this look being as close to pjs as is appropriate. My brogues never get many wears, I just don't end up wearing them for some reason :( x
Love those sparkly brogues!
I haven't quite got round to digging all of the tights out yet, but I think it's close to that stage in the year - bloody weather!
Such a perfect outfit for autumn!

Uniqlo do some good ones love! I'm obsessed with that store, and the quality is fab :) You look lovely miss, I'm the same with collar-less shirts, they feel so weird when I'm used to peter pan detailing ♥ Claire at Jazzpad
I will never not love those shoes! x
those tights look nice and warm :) xx
There's something about plaid that makes it so perfect for autumn. This dress looks so cute on you.
I'm in totally swoon mood over this outfit! It's the perfect autumnal look! x

That dress looks great - I love plaid, its such a nice warm autumnal pattern!
A brushed cotton dress sounds insanely comfy! Love the muted colours too. I have a couple of shorter, plain jersey dresses from Dorothy Perkins which I love for the same throw-it-on comfort reasons.
I quite like collarless shirts, they add to that casual style. Don't need to fuss about with ironing collars either. God I hate ironing!
Brogue twins!! I love my glittery pair. Practical yet rather frivolous!
lovely as always, ms fallon! xx
Definitely seems like a great cozy outfit for any fall weekend!
Sincerely,
Sabrina

Ooh I have these brogues!! Super cute aren't they? Love the plaid - I'm actually so excited to start wearing Winter clothes again, I love cosy layers!
