Autumn’s Over

The leaves haven’t finished falling yet, but tonight autumn’s over. It’s been cold for a while, and I’ve been holding off doing the seasonal wardrobe shift, but I can no longer put off the inevitable. It’s time to put summer in storage and haul out the winter woollies.

But don’t think I’m too disappointed. There is far more opportunity to play with fashion in winter: all those lovely layers to peel off one by one – a bit like the dance of the seven veils, only not (it’s far too chilly for those kinds of shenanigans) – each time revealing a new piece of fashionable deliciousness.

It’s time to put summer in storage and haul out the winter woollies.

Coats, hats, scarves and gloves; warm belted cardis, woollen tweeds and fine merino knits – what cosy fun there is to be had.

This winter I am looking to add some fingerless gloves to my sartorial arsenal. Try these on for size:
