Pre-Fall Pre-Thoughts

All of the magazines are shoving winter trends in our faces and I feel like we have yet to see summer. Yet, even though I do not feel ready for a winter wardrobe just yet, certain pieces have been catching my eye. I am on the look-out for a knee-length A-line leather skirt (alas, McQ is far out of my price range), I have already begun to collect cosy knits and I am of the firm belief that no-one can have too many black ankle boots.

How do I want to dress as the seasons change and the leaves on the trees begin to turn rich hues of orange and red? Jumpers that match the foliage worn with A-line midi skirts and preppy collars popping out from necklines (collar tips are a bonus). Printed dresses worn with ankle boots, ribbed jumper pulled on for warmth. A scattering of thin golden bands adorning my fingers. And to accessorise - give me a denim jacket, slouchy knitted hat and a boldly coloured satchel.
