Late Summer, Dressed Up and Walking. . . What I Wore. . .

I might have done a bit too much over the weekend, and the fatigue and cough pushed me back into a chair, with a book, yesterday.

It was worth it, though. Both Saturday and Sunday's events -- a performance of a contemporary riff on Lysistrata at Bard on the Beach Saturday and dinner at a friend's on Sunday -- called for a bit of dress-up. The dress-up, though, had to keep in mind that we were walking about 4 kilometres to each event, and outfits also needed to consider the cooler evenings we're beginning to enjoy here at the tag-end of summer.

And this is what I came up with

Saturday evening,

navy lightweight cashmere pull (Bompard) and this skirt -- 10 years old now! -- is the same one I wore here. In that post, you'll see I accessorized it then with the same chocolate-gold beads, the same crackle-finish metallic oxfords.

But this might be the first time I've ever worn it with bare legs. Probably won't be the last, though -- I rather like the practicality and the look itself, in this transitional weather, anyway -- it was just too warm to consider tights.

There are certainly bags or clutches that would have been chicer or more elegant with this combo, but walking comfortably was important so I opted for this small cross-body M0851 that used to be Pater's. . .

Similar parameters for Sunday evening -- it was still quite warm -- 21-ish, when we set out, and that scarf/shawl (tissueweight cashmere -- Bompard) got unwrapped very quickly, carried over my arm.

But I would have shivered all the way home if I hadn't brought it. That tunic (All Saints, bought in Paris with my sister three years ago -- I wore it as a dress here) is a very light and breezy silk.

The white jeans (One Teaspoon) are not the perfect pair of white jeans, but they're not bad -- I'd prefer no distressing, and I'd prefer not to have little zippers at the ankles, and I debated replacing them this year, but in the end I decided they're just fine.

For comfortable walking, I grabbed this pair of metallic silver Fluevog loafers that I keep coaxing one more wear out of (five years old with at least 5000 kilometres on the clock ;-). And grabbed a clutch this time, for variety's sake -- this one's Club Monaco, at least eight years old. . . .

It felt good to be able to pull these late-summer slightly dressy looks out of my closet, I must say. The only things newer than three years old in these photos are the oxfords in the top outfit and the orange watch-strap (in both).  It also felt good to move toward the expanded possibilities of Autumn outfits with a wider range of textures and weights and colours.

And I'm thinking about Fall's expanded possibilities in other ways as well -- Two granddaughters head back to school today, and my twin nieces begin their first university year way across the country from each other. I've just put together the itinerary for some solo travel late in November, and before that, I think I'm going to sign up for a class or two (right now I'm thinking language and more sketching).

What about you? Fall wardrobe? Fall plans? Resisting or Embracing the transition? Trying to wear as much of your summer wardrobe as you can in Summer's Last Gasp, like my friend Sue?(Or are you heading into Spring where you live?) Classes you're looking forward to? Trips you're planning? New volunteer activities you're excited about taking on? Do tell. . . .The mic's all yours. . .
