The weather is transitioning all over the world and often
in a very volatile state. I haven’t broken out the gloves just yet, but I am
ready to go whenever the time may come.
Over the weekend I was able to catch up with a few friends—finally
making time for those awaited long-distance phone calls and Skype sessions all
filled with loads of joy and laughter throughout every conversation. It’s funny
how swift a few hours can go by when you’re in good company, and fond memories
are shared. It’s even better when there are reenactments of facial expressions
to go along with those great tales of nostalgia.
This was a comfortable outfit that I wore to meet up with a family friend to help her with fabric shopping, as she’s preparing to make her son’s Halloween costume. And, since leather already has an edge to it and naturally exudes a tough aesthetic, I decided to play with the idea of adding artistic and softer elements.
The addition of camouflage came to mind when I wanted to
wear my lace skirt, so I took my abstract knit top and layered it with my
leather trousers for a different look. Typically you see camouflage in the
traditional motif, but I was really fond of this abstract knit version. It also
reminded me of a globs of ink and puzzle pieces … only colour blocked in army-like hues.

One of the greatest things in the autumn is the possibilities for layering, before the need of a huge coat which covers everything :)
ReplyDeleteI love your touch in the details :)
