H&M skirt, Next jumper, Primark tights, Matalan shoes.
For years I avoided wearing brown, or indeed any earthy tone…dubbing them “boring” and instantly dismissing any item that contain even the merest hint.
Fast forward to this season and suddenly I’m loving it, as evidenced by yesterday’s outfit…top to toe and shades of “mud” (perhaps I spent one too many school trips covered in cow’s poo and I was for years traumatised by the colour?)
Yesterday was one of those really, insanely busy days that could, and probably should have been terrible but instead left me feeling great; confident and competent. I love days like that and it reminds me why I get up and go to work each day.

I like your outfit!Especially the shoes!Brown suits you.You should definitely wear more of it!xxx
That is a nice shade of brown, you look really smart and very business like 🙂 !
Cool gloves! I could do with a pair for work, the studio is always freezing!
Ive developed a huge love of brown over the last few years. Mink is my favourite hue.
Well done on a fab day yesterday, nothing better than being challenged and coming out on top x
Really like your shoes! I also have those mittens but the moose ones, i love them!

those gloves are so cute! I love your outfit, you definitely look like a chic working girl 🙂 xx
I love your boots x
Sorry I have been rather AWOL in this area of the world lovely.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE muted colours; beiges, browns, taupes, greys – adore them, always have done, but don’t get me wrong they are generally with bursts of other colours too. They look really good on you & those boots – just wow! Stunning. I adore your style ( & am most jealous).
Voted for you <3 x x x
Those shoes are literally to die for

Those mittens are the best thing I’ve seen! And I know exactly what you mean about brown but I’ve started to embrace it too. You look lovely as always Laura. xxx
Looks good on you, I like that color with your skin tone.
I used to avoid brown too until a few years ago, but it’s such a good base colour. I tend to choose it over black now when I can.
Your outfit looks great too, lovely for a cold day when you still have to go to work.
I’m not normally a fan of pencil skirts but you seriously rock them! An elegant, chic and grown-up look, fabulous! x
cute look…great!
I have the cardigan version of this jumper ( if that makes any sense?!) I love your pencil skirt! x
I don’t really do brown either but I am coming round to more beige and camel shades because I like them with red. This outfit looks very sophisticated!
Nice color combination!
Love your shoes!

A very sophisticated outfit! I have always avoided neutrals and beige but last year I got a beige dress and really love it! Funny easy it is to change our minds.
Where oh where are they from? They are adorable!!!!!!!!!
Yay, glad you had a good day that made you feel good! My day made me feel woefully inadequate and incompetent teaching maths to 5 year olds and Maths investigation last lesson with my class of 8/9 year olds.It makes me really miserable when they are soo restless, don’t listen and wont get on with their work 🙁
Those mittens are fab!
Gorgeous outfit. Thank you for the comment on my post, and I honestly believe you’re one of the strongest people for fighting on <3 x
I find brown very cosy. Don’t know if that is just me though. You’re hair is looking amazing btw. x
I really like this outfit! Looks smart but comfy 🙂
no reason to fear brown. it suits you and it’s so versatile
love your outfit, that jumper is a really unusual but beautiful colour 🙂 Those shoes are amazing 😀

brown is probably one of my most worn colours actually
So sophisticated, the neutral colour is lovely for Autumn time xxx
I like those work days too, you may be broken at the end but you feel like you’ve really accomplished something. Good for you! And doing all that while looking fab too, brown is clearly the colour of champions :). And chocolate, which is the only fitting reward after a tough work day. xx
