With consistent 45° mornings, I think it’s time to pack up the sundresses and pull out the sweaters. I’ve been clinging to summer as long as I can (and even extended it with a tropical vacay), but the summer jig is up.
Even the Fashion Closet has its space limits, so with each season comes a wardrobe rotation. I pack away slinky summer dresses, flimsy tanks, flip flops, and espadrilles… And bring out the cableknit, tall boots, wool, and cashmere. I also use the time to do a bit of an edit, making a To Give Away pile. Friends, family, and the Good Will always benefit from a wardrobe rotation at my place.
Now I’m ready to hit some fall sales for new wardrobe additions (it’s a disease, I think).
Boots aren’t my only fall/winter-friendly shoes… And then there was the issue of packing away the 70 lbs. of strappy summery sandals I own and replacing the shoe shelves with snow-appropriate closed toe stilettos. See (pics via the Berry, btw):
…And I keep buying shoes WHY?!
Ready, set, snow.
So jealous of your boots! And those are all brown- I’m guessing you have other colors, right?
I’m always so sad to pack my summer clothes away… But changing things up is good, too! I need some new sweaters- any suggestions on where to buy?
Jen- You’re right… Those are just a sample of my boot collection. I’m a boot fiend!
K- Express typically has some great sweater options, so does Gap. VS.com is a great resource- they have every cut, color and material imaginable. I like to hit the sample sites for cashmere sales, too. 🙂
So i LOVE your bedspread! Where did you get it??? JK
These past few days of 60 degree weather are throwing me off!!!
I adore sweater weather! 🙂
I have to agree with Jen- I’m jealous of your boots, too!
Great post!
Yes it is a disease!! I don’t think we can find a cure! (Poor Lancer).
Looks great as usual! I miss u!
Maybe we should get Sushi soon?
J’Ski- YES! Sushi soon, absolutely! 😉
I hated packing away my summer sandals and flip flops. Shoes and socks feel so constricting, but since I need to keep my toes I just have to deal. How many days until Spring? Loved the post.
