Casual Autumn outfit – Guest Post from Sweetheart Fashion
October 10, 2014
Hey lovelies!
I’m Sweetheart Fashion from the fashion and
style blog, Sweetheart Fashion Blog on www.sweetheartfashion.com. I’ve
teamed up with A Fashion Oddity to create a causal autumn outfit collaboration
which has turned into a very exciting style challenge for me.
Sunglasses – Gucci
Shirt – DrDenim
Cami – Marks and Spencer
Leggings – New Look
Shoes – TOMS
I love to dress up, wearing pretty lace clothes, monochrome
shades and high heels, as you may have noticed from my outfit of the day posts.
But my boyfriend keeps nagging me to stop overdressing and just wear casual
things from time to time, I am still a university student after all where the
norm is tracksuits and hoodies…that is if you’ve managed to stave off a hangover
and change from your pjs.
So when asked to collaborate with the wonderful Charlotte for a causal autumn
outfit, I thought now would be a great time to push myself out of my comfort
zone and try something new.
Taking inspiration from Topshop
I put together a causal outfit for
a very busy Monday.
Sunglasses – Gucci
Shirt – DrDenim
Cami – Marks and Spencer
Leggings – New Look
I wore my boyfriend’s DrDenim plaid shirt for an oversize
casual feel and had it unbuttoned, showing just a plain cami underneath. This
is my favourite of his shirts; he used to wear it often when I fell for him
three years ago now so it’s filled with a lot of love; and the shirt itself is
great being thick and soft, so it’s really comfy.

Unfortunately I don’t have any ripped black jeans just yet
so instead I went for these simple black leggings. I haven’t worn leggings in
years and had totally forgotten just how comfy they are. It was nice wearing
something so flexible and thankfully these weren’t see-through either.

I completed the look by wearing my new TOMS. After buying
the cute crochet ones for my cruise this summer (see HERE)
and discovering just how comfy they are, I bought some of these navy blue ones to
wear over autumn. I really love wearing them!

I also went for extra-large bed-head with my natural curls
and minimal, natural looking make-up. Overall, I was actually really surprised
just how great I felt all day. It is worth dressing down from time to time
whilst still looking on-trend and comfortable. I really enjoyed the experience
and will definitely be experimenting with it more over the autumn.
What’s your favourite go-to casual outfit this autumn?
