Vest - Americam Apparel, Raglan Sweater - American Apparel, Shorts - Rodeo Show, Clogs - FunkisIf I had dived into one of those, carefully swept and heaped by the Council's cleaners, on the side of the road today, I would blend in and disappear. I think I'd also fit right in with Robin Hood and his gang in Sherwood Forest.
These are the colours I like wearing when it gets cold. There is comfort food and then there are comforting colours - the brown of chocolate and hot gravy, the green of sage, the blinding white of a steaming bowl of rice, the beige of fluffy buttery mashed potatoes and the golden crumbs of cakes and biscuits.
Ironically, Autumn is also when I pull out all my shorts. The boyfriend laughs at the shorts-and-tights combo everytime. He says it makes me look like a "superhero dumpling". But with the onset of ugly spider veins, it's the only way that I can still wear some of the cute hotpants from my vein-free beach bunny days.
I also like to do the German tourist thing sometimes - woolly socks with sandals.
It's good to be able to wear some old Summer favourites in the yucky months.

Hey! I knew you'd get it! Do you have comfort colours too? x
My comfort colours are pink, grey, black, red. Purple possibly and navy blue. When it's gloomy I often reach for red as if I can scare the gloom away. How Chinese of me.
I am on the lookout for bobby socks or long grey knitted socks. Any idea?
Both Myers and David Jones have a pretty alright selection of socks, of all make and lengths.
