We’re already approaching mid-September which is frightening – how about we put a positive spin on it and get some autumn outfit inspiration from last year’s posts?
Many of you may know that I dread the end of the summer, but as with the cold-to-warm season change over I do look forward to switching over my clothes in storage. However as we really had summer for only about three (two?) weeks here in the UK, I’ll admit that I didn’t even get half of my summer clothes out this year. They’re still sat there in boxes, waiting to be unpacked… it’s kind of depressing.
So in celebration of September – and in my regular quarterly round up of my seasonal looks – here are my favourite autumn outfits from last year, but with the added bonus of AW17 shopping links for you to recreate the looks. Let’s think positively about autumn (I know most of you reading don’t need to be told that, I’m really just giving myself a pep talk), shall we…?!
Hopefully you’ll find something that you like and can work into your wardrobe – all are suitable for smart casual occasions, and some would work well in an office environment where there’s a relaxed dress code.
And if you want to see how I’ve started embracing autumn, check out Monday’s post with a multicoloured stripe sweater or last week’s yellow ochre velvet midi dress styled for work and play. I guess I’m enjoying autumn more than I thought.
I’m away on holiday this week (a nice relaxing break in Cornwall), but normal service still resumes here at Not Dressed As Lamb with scheduled posts in all the usual places. Do keep your fingers crossed for me where the weather’s concerned, won’t you – just a little sunshine and a little warmth and almost no rain please, that’s all I ask…!

All great looks, but I love the preppy stripes and bright trousers most of all, it's a look close to my sartorial heart and one that you do so well!
Super into blazers rn!!! Also, always loving stripes! Yellow is one of my fav colors—-but, I'm hesitant about cropped pants… I have short enough legs already!!!!!
Loving those yellow trousers!
The stripes and yellow are super – powerful, like a Queen Bee! I really hope you've had some sunshine for your hols xx
