Layering

// This is going to be one of my last real what-I-wore posts for the next 2-3 weeks or so!

When these photos were taken it was a sunny fall day in London. I spent it doing some shopping for my mom and dad, plus lastminute errands before my flight.

This is one of my typical outfits that I put on when the temperature's say.. between 15-19 degree (Celcius) - haha, you know when I'm in London, I'm really obsessed with the weather. Whenever I'm about to get dressed, I have to first open the window, stick my hand out and wave it around a bit so I can get a feel of the err.. conditions before I decide on what I'll be wearing! This is also the reason why I can never PLAN what I'm going to wear the night before and am always in a rush when I'm getting myself ready..

When I lived in Melbourne I used to get dressed in many layers because the weather was so erratic there. It could be nearly 30 one bright afternoon and the next thing you know, it's raining ice balls outside <-- speaking from REAL EXPERIENCE!

London is hardly erratic, I don't know why people say it is... really.. these people need to get out more. It just gets much colder overall but basically the weather's pretty much the same every day and gradually gets colder/warmer/whatever. It's boring. But yeah I still have to 'feel the air' to gauge how cold it is for ME.

ANYWAY this was supposed to be about layering not the freaking weather SHEESH!!
I'm so stupid obsessed!!

You know what.
Gonna just jump straight to photos.

i love the drawings on the tshirt
and your boots
i dont even stick my head out the window just look which isn't a great idea when I end up wearing no layers on a freezing day

Kb said...

Love that vest and your weather obsession! I know the exact thing to wear depending on the temperature.

MJ said...

I like you very much! :) Unfortunately I am terrible at weather-appropriate dressing, so I've sort of developed an 'i don't care' about the whole thing and I don't feel the cold as much any more!

i love the layering u're created..nice one..i do love layerings too but it's kinda hard to do it in malaysia due to the sunny days but i guess these days i can do layering since it's rainy days here n it's a bit cold from usual :)

le pearl said...

You look fab as always <3

Y said...

Thanks le pearl, and Pierrot

Dania: I cant imagine wearing anything other than a tee and shorts/skirt in malaysia! I would 'layer' only with umm.. a bra? haha. So freaking hot!
