Miss Selfridge Puff Sleeve Jacket

I know we finally have warmer weather but I can't help but start to plan ahead for when it starts to turn a bit colder. In my defence I am having to start buying new school uniform for The Daughter ready for September and in a way, I kind of like the whole 'new term' aspect of a change in seasons.

As such, I have my eye on this blazer from Miss Selfridge. It has everything going for it. The berry colour is one of my favourite autumnal colours though it comes in black and 'nude' if you want something slightly less obviously seasonal. I'm already picturing it paired with a chunky knit scarf. The shape as well is fantastic. It's a little bit Victorian riding jacket which is very flattering. And it's only £30.

The only quibble is that it's jersey and so will only work so far into the winter before you need to pull out the big guns in terms of outerwear. In the meantime though, you can layer up under it to cut a stylishly warm dash.
