Saying goodbye to summer




Hello lovelies and thanks for dropping by! Yes, I'm admitting defeat. Today is the first of October and here I am showcasing my final summer outfit with more than a touch of sadness. My favourite time of year, not just fashion-wise, is summer and I'm always sorry to see the season change into autumn. I know I'm not alone in my thoughts.




My monochrome look offers nothing new, merely a mix of things you'll have seen before. The Zara "It" dress from a couple of summers ago has been a mainstay during the final burst of Indian summer we've experienced here on the islands. I love the long, loose fit which has been the perfect ploy for keeping cool. 





The two tone flatties are by Nine West and are suprisingly comfortable, indeed all-day-long comfy. The leather and cow hide bag is a recycled piece made by Claudine Sear of Bags of Time




Sunglasses are by Quay Australia, rings are pre-loved and the silver and gold coloured linked chain was a boutique find from a few years ago. 






A gentle walk to New Grimsby quay was a lovely start to the day. The sea was flat as mill-pond, looking more like a lake rather than the sea. A moment to stop and take it all in before the working day began.






So from here on I'll be searching through my wardrobe for those elusive items of transitional dressing. Not my easiest of looks - in fact I think I've maybe said previously that my outfits fall into two simple categories - summer or winter. Anyway, the weekend is almost here and I think that by Sunday I'll be dragging suitcases out from under the bed in the hope of finding some autumn inspired outfits. Wish me luck on this (dreaded) mission!

  1. Good luck as you transition into cooler weather, Anna! I just did my own swap-over and it was exhausting (but worth it), as always.

    Great styling here - I'm very fond of black and white looks.

    1. Hey Sheila, another weekend has come and gone and still my changeover hasn't taken place! We've been given another reprieve weather-wise and it's still sunny and warm here. Next weekend perhaps...

    1. Over the years I've grown rather fond of the joys of monochrome dressing.

      As you'll see, no autumn clothes changeover yet...

  5. Love that you keep on wearing this 'it' dress, as it looks comfy and cool!, lovely monochromatic outfit and lovely smile!
    It feels strange to say goodbye to summer outfits, but I'm keeping some summery dresses and adding a jacket!, not so bad as I love wearing layers!
    besos

    1. Your idea to simply add a jacket over your summer dresses is a great solution! I clearly need to try that before I pack them away. Cheers x
