27.09.2012- What I Wore Today #56

I don't know how you're fairing, but I'm finding it increasingly tricky to know what to wear in this weather! One moment we've got sunshine, the next torrential rain- I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the hailstones, snow and lightning storms appear! When things are this changeable, I always delve into my wardrobe to retrieve some casual staples, along with a cosy coat to keep the autumnal breeze at bay:

Coat- Topshop

Jeans- Topshop

Blouse- New Look

Shoes- Converse (via ASOS)

Bag- Zara

This coat from Topshop was a real wardrobe favourite of mine last year so it was something I happily reached for it as soon as it turned a little chillier. For this outfit I opted to wear it quite casually with jeans and a polka dot blouse, but it comes with a detachable collar which makes it a really versatile winter staple. My pair of Converse are another wardrobe basic which are essential at this time of year- not least for negotiating leaf strewn pavements and slippery train platforms, especially if you're as accident prone as I am! Part of me is even wishing it would get a little chillier so I can break into my knitwear stash (and so I have the perfect excuse to up my daily tea intake!) 

How are you finding the weather? And are there any new season pieces which you can't wait to wear?
