Winter Blues

Cold, windy, rainy, and a perfect day to test my layering skills after I have dressed horrendously in sweatpants and Vans for the past few days. It was interesting to think that the the "comfortable" clothes would make me feel so uncomfortable. I think my comfort level is not related to the the the informality the of my clothes, but rather how these garments make me feel.

My annual seasonal depression has not set in so far, and I have been quite enjoying Winter: I have had some good quality coffee, some great camaraderie over good food with friends, and today my layering skills, which is horrible, came together quite nicely. *Does the fashion dougie*.

I am wearing:
Light Blue Skinny turn-ups - Mr Price.
Gingham Blazer - Thrift Store
Midnight patent and felt brogues - Mr Price
Purple Socks - Markham
Blue Knitted Jersey - Thrift Store
Rounded Knitted Blue Snood - Markham

To the last days of Summer...

So here we are, at the end of another glorious summer of beautiful warm days and beaches, long island cocktails and late night parties. It's not that I hate Winter, the whole brooding thing is cute for a while, but the harsh Winter in Cape Town makes it a little bit difficult. I dread the fact that I can't layer as well as the Europeans do. I dread the fact of always being sick. I dread the fact that I need at least 50 pairs of boots to not die of depression. I also hate the fact that I do not have a designer umbrella to protect me from the harsh water falling from the skies.


I will march forth in any case, I will make do with the outer wear and shoes that I have, I will see Winter as a challenge for me to put together some outfits which I have never thought of, and with hot chocolate, my fashion magazines and the beautiful music of Bon Iver I will make it through this season.

BACK IN ACTION SOON!

I apologise for the unplanned hiatus. I will be blogging with a vengeance these coming weeks and hopefully have a post up every week.
