“Summer makes me drowsy. Autumn makes me sing. Winter's pretty lousy, but I hate Spring.” ~ Dorothy Parker.

Katie's Vintage Black Leather Jacket - Self-made Strapless Leaf-print dress - H&M Belt - Covet Vintage Co. Tan Envelope Clutch - Favourite Boots

Autumn is kicking in with a vengeance - it's that much harder to get up in the morning and harder again to figure a way of dressing so you aren't boiling in this unseasonal sun, but not freezing by the time you get home from chilling (I'm so puntastic) with beautiful people. I made this dress about a year ago with some vintage fabric of my Mother's. Should I be mixing black and tan leather? I don't really care. I don't suppose you really notice the black of the jacket - I'm too busy marveling at the sporty MJ-ness in the crazy button clip-here-there and suede panels. Might have to steal it from Katie more often :)

Thought I'd shake it up and try some different brick walls too.

And here's another teaser for you... guess what's in the box:

There's a pretty giant clue in there :)

P.S. Thank you all so much for your gorgeous comments! You know I always reply, but my internet has been playing dead for a few days now, so please don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't get back to you straight away!!

Love the outfit, esp the DIY dress! It's so weird to hear when people have different seasons than us... we're in the start of spring here in the US! But I know what you mean about the weather. It's still super cold here in the mornings, but by the time I leave work, it's boiling hot =(

diptea said...

I love this post! I like the little rhyme. I so wish I could see the dress you made! (Silly photobucket). I know what you mean about the weather...here in CA the sun shines bright, but it's deceiving...it's 40 degrees!
