@lin hehe. i like the ease of sandals - no socks or fussing about with that. i'm in full ankle boot mode now though. can't get enough of how boots go with everything i want to wear! :)

I miss dressing for fall/winter. I live in a tropical country, but I used to travel a lot for work to places with 4 seasons, so I have boots & coats & a leather jacket that are now languishing in my closet. Although I do get to wear my shorter-shaft boots once in a while.

And, yey for Uniqlo! I think they have the best basics and for such reasonable prices.

I can understand your frustration! My problem at the moment is that it is stinking hot outside (I walk to and from public transport to get to work) and then my office is basically a fridge. My legs get cold if I'm bare legged in there, but wearing nylons on a humid 95 degree day when you do a lot of walking is not exactly fun. Also having to take a WARM jacket with me on such a hot day is next to ridiculous. I'm not sure how I will get through Summer this year if they do not fix the air-con the building I work at...
BTW Your jacket is beautiful and your skinny jeans look great on you... are they a shinny/wet look finish?

That jacket gets so much deserved love.

I can't stop wearing flip flops and sandals. It only took 2 weeks of fall weather to make me miss not having to bundle up adequately, haha. I wear them with dresses to look less like a slob but I often wear them with some cropped skinny jeans as well.

@lunaday wow, that sounds a lot like the weather in Shanghai! i've never lived here in the fall months so i'm a bit thrown off by humid days like the past few days where it's been 75 degrees and muggy :P i love my leather jacket so much, i layer with it under my coats in the winter anyway :)

@Garderoben when it gets snowy you'll be able to bust out your Margiela shearling boots, eh? i miss mine! but i might get a friend to bring me a pair of Uggs (!!) from the US as a stopgap measure...

@Ammu oooh. your Vara pumps sound so perfect as a casual/dressy shoe for fall. what style is your SA jacket? i love the idea of you wearing a chic little SA jacekt in Dehli. what are chic people wearing these days on the street there?

2011-11-19T15:01:49.753+08:00

@chic_e i never leave home without my trusty umbrella - there are so many random little drizzly showers or overcast days here. i do miss crisp autumn days with lots of sunshine and crunchy leaves on the sidewalk tho :(

@Prêt à Porter P thanks! it's still my favorite item of clothing of all time. :)

2011-11-19T08:13:28.627+08:00

My uniform would be very similar skinnies, boots, t shirt, scarf and jacket. The problem here in Madrid is that there is no fall, we go from a very hot summer straight to the winter so a leather jacket is not enough for the chill and the rain we have now, I am wearing a parka :(

2011-11-19T06:09:10.093+08:00

I can relate to your weather frustration too! It's cold enough for wool knits here now, so my uniform is a wool sweater or cardigan with skinny jeans/cords, dixies or dickers, Isabel Marant coat and burgundy Marant silk scarf - my very favourite kind of outfit! It's a lot harder when it gets colder, and then the snow...
I love your outfit, the skinnies look great!!

Love that scarf and your jacket!
My uniform at the moment is a brooks brothers shirt or a Kain tee with bespoke trousers and my new ferragamo vara mid-heeled pumps. Since it's getting cool in Delhi, I usually add my Steven Alan navy cropped wool jacket and a vicuna scarf. Easy and elegant.

You look fabulous! I empathize with your weather frustration. I feel your pain about just wanting to wear what you want to wear! But looks like you are doing a great job layering and taking it in stride.
I've been wearing my J Brand dark wash skinnies religiously with my knee high riding style boots. I usually wear some sorta sweater or cardigan on top with a scarf and finish off with a rain proof jacket or 3/4 coat if its not raining (it usually is, pooh).

That leather jacket is awesome.
