H&M FALL IN LOVE: WEARING CONFIDENCE

In celebration of the new Fall Fashion collection for H&M, today I’m styling up a couple of bits from the 70s glam inspired range. The campaign, #HMFallinLove, aims to inspire you by the fall love story – what really makes you fall in love with Fall. For me, alongside cosy evenings, layering up in knits and carving pumpkins, it’s also that I find fall is a great time to build on confidence, especially in terms of style. With summer pressures for a beach bod and legs that look amazing in short shorts out the window, I feel much more at ease heading into A/W dressing. With that, I’m sharing a few of my favourite ways to fall in love with fall through wearing confidence. 

Take baby steps.

Yeah, sometimes ‘out there’ fashion choices can work great but if you really need to up your confidence then a look completely out of your comfort zone may be a step too far. For the look above I went for short lace up boots, but eventually I’ll brave some thigh highs. I find building it up from styles that I’m used to a lot easier than jumping in with something too flamboyant.  

Find your fall statement.

This is my favourite. I love to find something to rock over A/W that becomes my ‘thing’ – in the past it’s been an extra fluffy fur collar and the beanie hat. This time round it’s going to be this oversized coat, a real winter warmer I can wrap up in.

Get inspired.

Fall is a great time for a cosy evening, flicking through Pinterest. I like to have a board featuring my style icons, so I can have a look through and get inspired. No, I’m not Alexa Chung, but I could maybe wear that bold print in a similar way to her.  

Treat confidence as your best accessory.

And I’m not just talking in terms of style. Confidence is a secret weapon, it’s the thing that carries you through everything from strutting down the street in heels to that boring presentation at work in front of the bigwigs. Confidence can make a huge difference to an outfit, just like an outfit can have an effect on your confidence. This fall I’ll be working on making sure confidence is as much a part of my outfit as the shoes and handbag.  

So there we go.. What I’m living by for confident dressing this season.
