Today I felt it. There was a strong hint. It whipped around my neck and lifted up my hair, I struggled to keep my hat on. Autumn was in the air bringing along with it that swirling chill that we all know oh so well. I've never been good at good byes, in fact I'm terrible at them and letting go of Summer was as hard as it always is. It's that time of year where I become one of those people who always have a hand on their head, holding their hat down firmly to stop it from being carried away in a leafy blast. Should just give up with hats in this blustering weather, but the thought of my head and face being out there in the open makes me only want to hibernate even more. My latest trick though, to help with keeping that hat a little more steady, is to wear a head scarf underneath. Gives your fedora a much snugger fit and looks really nice as well. My head scarf worn in this post, is a scrap of material that I found back in Spring that I decided would by tied around my head for the unforeseeable future. This, is the best I can do. My A/W style wont make any extravagant, cutting edge promises, but it will be sure to remain true to itself.
My extra wide brim fedora is from The Shop, on Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles. My chunky cardigan is from ASOS, while my caftan striped dress is from LA based label Lovestitch. My suede sock boots are Topshop but I've added my own boot buckles that my friend brought me from Bali. My belt is vintage and from Vintage Hardware at Topshop, Oxford Circus.
