The Transitionals

So it's September - the kids have gone back to school, it's getting dark earlier and I can no longer ignore the fact that Autumn is slowly but surely taking over. Although I will be sad to say goodbye to the sunny days and warm evenings we have enjoyed this summer, I cannot deny that I love A/W fashion and I knew that it was time to give my wardrobe a bit of an update.
Today my Mum made her way over to Reading. As usual, we headed off to town for some retail therapy and, as usual, I got spoiled! Take a look at these transitional pieces that I picked up today...

Black Marl Knitted Jumper - H&M, £14.99

H&M was by far my favourite shop today - there was so much A/W goodness to choose from! I bough this jumper simply because I love a comfy day and because however many times I try to pull off a chunky cardi or jumper they never look quite right... sigh.

Black Skinny Jeans - Dorothy Perkins, £25

I decided  it was time to get a new pair of black skinny jeans as they are always a staple item in my A/W wardrobe. I often struggle to find jeans long enough for me but these 34" beauties are just right - and the price wasn't too bad either! (Dotty P's have got a special promotion on at the moment as well! 25% off everything on their website at the moment when you enter promo code DPFW25 at the checkout. Now that's an excuse to shop if ever I heard one!)

Printed Scarf - H&M, £6.99

H&M had an amazing collection of scarves to chose from but I thought this red/black/grey check number would be perfect to see me through A/W and at only £6.99 how could I resist!?

Black Pumps - Primark, £4.00

No shopping trip would be complete without a cheeky visit to Primark. I snatched up these slip-on pumps for £4.00 - what a bargain! They're plain and simple so are perfect for a quick finish to any outfit, day or night.

Leather Jacket - Zara, £159.99

Check out my gorgeous Mum! She splashed out on this gorgeous real leather jacket from Zara. It may not be your everyday purchase but she had been saving up her pennies for a long time! What a stunner (my Mum and the jacket)!
