I decided to remix these wool shorts that I have not worn in a while. This is an outfit that I wore to go shopping for work, which
is always fun and never droning. Thinking on my feet, I put my colleague to work to take some fun styleshots literally within minutes, since we really had no time to spare! Yes, how very … “blogger” of me!
When it comes to shopping, generally I’m quite
disciplined because …
#1-I really don’t like to carry loads of bags with me, and if you’ve not noticed by now this is one reason why I always have a carry-on and never check luggage!
#2-I tend to analyse garments, often wondering how well the clothes or accessories can fit in my wardrobe, amongst a multitude of other
things. For me, workable pieces that have texture and colour will
typically win the battle of those “what do I wear,” type of days. This is especially
the case if staple items, like jeans and a Tee aren’t within reach!
A Summer, “Good-bye”
and Autumn, “Hello”
Are you ready for the season transition or are you happily
holding on to summer? I am definitely ready for autumn to the point that I’ve
already pinned my favourite
coat and boot styles many weeks ago! And, although, it may be a bit too early to
don coat styles, I will simply enjoy the comfort of my plaids and (possibly one
last time to wear) shorts sans tights.
Project Updates:
I have a demanding week ahead; however I will update you
soon on a new project that I’ve been working on. Think leather! I purchased
some new leather yardage, and very pleased to work with these special cuts! Hopefully,
I will have more info and a few snapshots of progress on that in the near future. For now,
just enjoy my pre-autumn greetings in emerald and tangerine.
Did you have an
exciting weekend?
The goods: Tartan/Check shorts-Charity shop, Shoes-Anthropologie, Earrings-Deborah Grivas via April M, Belt-DIY, Leather jacket-Thrifted,Clutch-DIY, Tank-H&M.
*I am also linking this post with the lovely Bella, of (The Citizen Rosebud) for her “Shoe Shine” event. It was a tough decision, however I chose these shoes, although they aren’t sparkled, because I love how comfortable they are. They are handmade made from Spanish leather with cut-outs, but with closed toes, making it excellent for all seasons. Check out other bloggers sport their favourite shoes here.

Hi dear, thank you for your sweet comment. 🙂 /Madison
Oh, really? Yes, I rarely check baggage, I travel too often and I'm impatient, haha. Thanks for your comment. xo
Sounds exciting about your new move! Yes, having a larger closet is always a plus! 🙂 Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, so I am also happy to bring out my heavier knitwear soon.
I always check luggage, even if it's a cabin-size suitcase 🙂 Lovely outfit, very nicely combined.
That is such a cool skirt! Love the colors in it. You look gorgeous 😀

I'm totally ready for autumn! I think I love my blacks and greys too much and I'm itching to get my chunky knits out of storage. I'm even more excited as I'm moving soon and will have an entire wardrobe to myself, which means I can invest in even more clothes!

Madison, your colleague took so awesome pics girl! I am loving those shorts. The color of the plaid is so pretty and looks great with that top & leather jacket. We're still in summer mode here in new orleans. I've been purchasing things for Fall though. Can't wait for some cooler weather. Can't wait to see the leather products you came up with! Have an awesome week.

Hi Madison! When it comes to shopping I am really careful as well, so I get you! What a nice combo dear, I think is perfect to say welcome to Sept, the shorts are very cool and go perfectly with the jacket! Good luck with the new project, just curious to know what is about! Kisses and happy Monday! xo
What a pretty outfit. The shorts are great. I'm looking forward to Autumn 'cause Summer seems to cause people to stop caring about fashion.

Wonderful outfit! I am still holding onto summer a little, since the weather has been so beautiful, but I did pull out my jackets and a couple of jumpers. Love this time of year! x
Emerald and tangerine–love the combi and love the shorts! Still holding on to summer, but I've started checking my wardrobe for what's to go and what's to be added. I'm also on the lookout for boots and coat. Have a lovely week Madison!
Can't wait to see your new project, Madison:) And I must admit I'm not really looking forward to the end of summer, but am glad to wear some of the jackets I got on sale awhile back.
Love this outfit, btw:) Great mix of colours:)
