Outfit: September 8th - Polka Dots and Army Green

I felt slightly like an extra from Grease in this outfit. I think it was the combination of the pumps and the skirt that did it, but hey ho.

I thought it was going to be a bit cooler so I planned to wear my denim jacket to walk to work, but it wasn’t really any cooler and I ended up not needing it.

Outfit: September 7th

Another warm day, another simple t shirt dress. I love this dress as it's slightly longer than the other ones I own, but it's also made from a thinner fabric so it needs an underskirt.

Outfit: September 6th - Dress, Shirt, Shoes, Done!

It may be technically fall but the weather was still behaving like summer in the first full week of September. More like summer than summer itself often is, actually. It was warm, muggy and not at all conducive to wearing any of the lovely boots, scarves and sweaters I've been drooling over for weeks. But that time will come and in the meantime I planned to enjoy the warmth whilst we still had it.

Fall is all about layering so I put a white shirt over my dress on a warm Tuesday morning, adding a statement necklace to add interest to the plain dress should I end up removing the shirt as the day warmed up. (Which is exactly what happened.)

The last time I wore these shoes I felt sure it would be the last time. The way things are going I'll probably wear them again before the season is out.

Outfit: September 2nd

I think I spoke a little too soon about the good weather in my last post. After I said that we were still in summer mode Friday morning dawned a bit damp and dull. And I was chilly in the office much of the day too. My new work place is an industrial unit rather than a proper bricks and mortar building, meaning it is hot when it’s hot out, and chilly when it isn’t so hot out.

I smartened up my distressed denim with a blazer, dressier top and heels. I put my hair up so that the zip on the back of my top would be visible, thinking I would be warm and shed my blazer, but I actually ended up wearing the jacket most of the day. Hey ho.

Outfit: September 1st - Flippy Skirt and Brogues

So, September 1st rolled around and despite the calendar ticking over to meteorological autumn the weather was still in summer mode. And for once, I was not complaining about it as I am determined to enjoy every last warm day we are given this year. It’s not actually been a bad summer weather-wise, all in all. It has been warm most days and when I think about how many times I’ve got rained on walking to or from work, it’s not that many really, perhaps three or four at most.

I gave a nod to the new season with my burgundy top but there was no need for boots or scarves or anything like that at that stage.

Outfit: August 31 - Grey and Burgundy

The last day of August dawned, like much of the rest of August, bright and sunny. I took the opportunity to wear a dress and added my burgundy jacket (warning: I get OBSESSED with burgundy this time of year!) and matching shoes. I added a button to the jacket over the bank holiday weekend to give the option of a more fitted look when required. My sewing skills are a bit ‘make it up as you go along’ but I can sew a button and improvise a button hole when necessary!

We went out for tea that evening, so I just switched the burgundy jacket for a denim one and I was good go.

I attempted to put a beachy wavy in my hair using my flat irons, following this method - I'm not sure how well it worked but it was a change from straightening it in any case.

Outfit: August 30th - Teal and Black and Turquoise Heels

So the end of the summer is upon us. It's still warm but you can see that the light is changing in the afternoons, and it is dark just after 8pm now.

I carried these shoes in a bag to wear in the office as there's only so many more days peep toes are appropriate this time of year, and they had gone the whole summer unworn.

The top is one I usually reserve as a 'going out' top, but again, it's summery and it's a shame not to wear my warm weather clothes when I have the warm weather to do so.

August 27th: Curled Hair!

Saturday 27th August was a momentous day for me: it was the first time I achieved anything resembling a curl using my flat iron! OK, so it was only the ends of my hair, and OK, so they had all dropped out by lunchtime, but it's a start. Baby steps people, baby steps. I'm hoping this is one of those times where practice makes perfect and will persevere!

Outfit: August 26th - Feeling Fall

A Friday is always a good day, but a Friday before a bank holiday weekend is even better! Burgundy is one of my favourite shades for fall, but I also took the opportunity of a dry day to wear one of my pairs of summer flats. I call them summer flats as they're fabric, and striped, and not at all practical for autumn and winter weather.
