I’m breaking a few rules today when I’m mixing two shades of brown with black. My new rule however is that everything is allowed.

Skirt: H&M
Turtle neck: H&M (I got these in two colors yesterday. They are super cheap and the quality is much better than you’d think. I have a couple of these from last year and they still look fine.)
Belt: Secondhand
Boots: Vagabond

When fall and winter come I find it easier to fall back into a more laidback look. Jeans with a plain old sweater is so much easier to put on when it’s cold outside than worrying about skirts and stockings. Even though many of us probably end up being a little lazier when it comes to style - there is help.

Adding a little something glamorous is really all you need. We’ve already seen Mary-Kate giving us the perfect example - a huge rhinestone necklace with a t-shirt. When stopping by Accessorize the other day I came across many glamorous clutches that would do the same trick. It’s really all about adding something glamorous enough to weigh the whole outfit to the other side.

On eBay you’ll find a lot of cheap alternatives for the rhinestone jewelry. The seller Aumum has some of them. You can get a big rhinestone necklace with matching earrings for £8. If you find a vintage one it’s even better because the silver has a more authentic look.

The clutches I saw at Accessorize can be ordered online for around £30 (only in UK and Ireland though). I especially fell for the clutch pictured below - it has a sort of Hollywood glam to it.
