What about Winter
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Fall fashion is billed by critics as the bigger, better sister of the two main RTW collections. More interesting, with tons more fur, pattern and texture, it has the capacity to induce a frenzy as editors clamber over one another to get their mitts on the latest pieces. I on the other hand, find winter wardrobes a nightmare. Somehow I've ended up living a perpetual summer for the past few years so when the weather turns cold, I'm completely nonplussed. Breezy silk dresses? Peeptoe shoes? Got a wardrobe stuffed full of them. Peering out into the inky blue light of a cold, drizzly New York morning? I'm reaching for a pair of toasty Ugg boots {I know, I know}. Last week as the weather turned crisp, I found this beautiful Gryphon jacket in Buffalo Exchange. Great for this transeasonal weather, but when winter really arrives I'll have awfully cold wrists.

ooh, i do love that jacket! great look.
haha i stay somewhere where it's perpetually summer as well, so i can *kind of* understand your perplexity. but still, you're doing so well! adore your jacket especially <3 soon you'll be a pro at this ^^
I love the jacket and that skirt is so beautiful!
Mind you, it seems crazy but when I moved to the UK (only Oxford, not Glasgow) I thought I would dye for the cold weather. filled the suitcase of wool, angora, fleece.
It was LESS cold than were I live now (close to Milan.....
Like teh British, I tend (now) not to wear tights in winter and silk on autumn....

you have such a knack for putting together great outfits...i'm sure you will look fabulous all winter!
i can't remember how i found your blog, but i always look forward to reading it. love your style.
You'll be OK, you just need a long-sleeved cashmere sweater to wear under it!
Such an adorable, fall outfit. I am in love with your vintage oversize clutch! I'm also hoping your heels come up on Gilt-and soon!
I love your outfit! That skirt it beautiful. I totally understand not liking winter dressing. I like fall when I can wear the same dresses and just add cardigans and boots, but once it's actually cold I turn to my Uggs, too. My resolution this year is to always dress nice for class..no Uggs, no North Face. We'll see how I'm doing with that in a few months!!
