I usually love September, superficially planning my new Autumn wardrobe - gently getting back into knitwear and the latest pair of faux leather leggings or high waisted pair of trousers or whatever new item we are being hit with. However, this week i was caught completely off guard and my superficial musings of outfit planning didn't prepare me at all for torrential rain and cold! I found myself clad in my faithful winter parka which comes with a fur lined hood. It was just wrong - looked wrong, felt wrong and was being worn in mid-September - not even October.
So the lesson of this story is however much you love a wardrobe fav - don't wear an arctic parka in late summer be better prepared and look to something more season appropriate. I am now switching as we speak to an Ilse Jacobsen retro mackintosh. Now this is right! Oh and of course some matching boots too - just to be doubly sure i am kitted out.
