The Colours of Autumn

The first blog post of the season where it actually looks like - and feels like autumn! After a very balmy month, over night the cold winds started to blow and a proper chill settled. This weekend we went out of town and visited Toowoomba where we spent some time scouring antiques stores and enjoying the beautiful historic little town. I was very excited to come upon all of these beautiful traditional looking autumn trees, something we don't have any of at all where I live, so it was quite the novelty for me. I haven't really been able to experience the joy of having four seasons since I moved here from Russia and the large maple looking leaves brought back childhood memories of making colourful leaf crowns.

The cool change also gives me a chance to wear something more exciting than dresses! This particular jumpsuit brings to mind the ones worn by Anna May Wong who was well known for her fabulous taste in wide legged jumpsuits. While I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about wearing jumpsuits for how flamboyant they look, or because they don't enjoy wearing trousers in general - 1930s style jumpsuits come pretty close to being very similar to a dress in terms of comfort and freedom of movement.

Jumpsuits are especially a great piece to have in your wardrobe for the cooler months for days when you want to wear a dress but can't stand the cold chill on your legs even with a a pair of stockings. I love the way that this jumpsuit gives the illusion of a floor length dress if I stand a certain way and I look forward to dressing it up for a more glamorous evening look later this week when I head out for a friends birthday celebrations.
