Berry for Autumn

Today there was a slight chill in the air heralding the arrival of Autumn , the glorious yellow tree Mother

Nature at her best. 

To welcome the change I chose a cropped short sleeved berry coloured jacket with contrasting blanket stitch trim from Bec and Bridge , another great find from Return to Splendour. I wore the jacket over my

grey Paula Ryan dress , that I have worn many times over Summer.

Grey on grey , this dress will come travelling with me as I can layer both under and over , making it a very
versatile garment and will earn its place in the suitcase.

The interesting building in the background with the folly is a private home.

Time to bring out my ankle boots, these are from Wonders, a Spanish brand , purchased at a closing sale
just before Christmas.
This is my last post before we leave home.I hope to continue blogging while travelling if things go to plan,
possibly using the Blogger app.If the quality is not up to scratch I apologise in advance.

    Hi, a first time comment. I love your dress, and the purple jacket looks very appropriate over the top for more of a fun feel. I imagine the dress goes well, dressed up or down. Have a good holiday. Regards Trish

    I adore your plummy jacket with the contrast stitching, the grey dress is gorgeous and those boots look so stylish and comfy. We had snow this morning in Worcestershire, so no short sleeves here. Enjoy your holiday xx

    That is a darling jacket – simple in design and cut but so flattering and the detail of the stitching is the finishing touch. And the colour is gorgeous. I love all berry shades. And I'd quite like to have your boots too!Safe travels, Jill.http://petitesilvervixen.blogspot.co.uk/
