Even though we’re fully into the swing of Autumn, I’m not quite ready to let my summer midi skirts go.
So instead of wearing them with a slogan t-shirt as I have all summer, I’m swapping them out for a jumper.
Burgundy is the colour of the season and I love this jumper from Arket, plus the block colour means it’s versatile enough to go with most of my wardrobe.
Adding some brown Adidas trainers which seem to be on everyone’s wish list currently, a charm necklace from Never Fully Dressed which I am obsessed with and a braided red bag from M&S.
I think I’m fully transitioned into the season ahead.

I’ve been eagerly waiting to switch over to my autumn wardrobe, and I’m fully embracing the warm, cool-girl tones that are trending this season.
I couldn’t resist picking up the viral knit from Primark in this gorgeous warm-beige, and I’m seriously impressed! I’ve worn it so many times already.
Usually, I’d splurge a bit more on knitwear, but this one holds up so well after washing, and the quality is fantastic, a true Primark bargain.
You’ll need to act fast to snag one, though, as they’re selling out quickly. Pro tip: use click and collect to make sure you don’t miss out.
Last weekend, I tucked the knit into a Zara denim skort and paired it with dark suede boots, which are also on trend—Primark really nailed it!

I am a sucker for a good knit.
Cosy season is one of my favourite times of the year and I hate being cold so it is knitwear all the way from me.
While everyone else in fashion land is wearing burgundy I have gone for an Ochre knit the colour of the falling leaves.
This autumnal colour feels warmer on my older skin tone and gives my complexion a boost rather than draining it.
I have added in these gorgeous snake print boots from Aeyde that I have had my eye on for weeks, I know they’re a splurge item but they will go with everything in my wardrobe and last me for years to come.
Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends
WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up...
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
