Our spectacular weather continues. It's truly amazing. A week or so of outfits, several illustrating the "casual long cardigan" formula, several repeats of the suit and sneakers formula, one black and white with red boots formula, and one white boots outfit.
It's rare in the PNW to get such a long string of sunny days. I know what I'm experiencing is not typical and any observations I make about how the climate affects my style may soon be put to the test. But so far, a few things I have noticed:
Specific items that were difficult to wear in my former home are easy winners in this climate and location. Examples:
- The famous Rag and Bone gilet -- after languishing in my closet for several years, it has become a workhorse item. I may not have been able to wear it when it was trendy but at least it's a "true love" item with longevity so I can enjoy it now!
- Dressier booties -- you all know my story about those! Getting wear from them all now. Phew!
- Any footwear that is closed toe but reveals the ankle.
What felt "seasonally confused" in Ontario makes a lot of sense here (i.e. a scarf with bare ankles (at times); camisole under a blouse.
You can see that certain items work overtime in my closet and that I never worry about repeats.
