autumnal arrival





Wearing | jumper c/o Romwefeather hair clip c/o Gypsy Warrior • Papaya paperbag shorts

It's always the closure of another summer chapter that some sort of delicate gloom takes a hold of me. The mornings become darker and the days shift into more work than play, but still the post meridian sun shines bright and the last of the Indian summer's heat lingers on. There is also the promising dawn of autumn: skies bluer than sapphire and a gentle warmth in the air filled with golden leaves swirling beneath your eyes as fresh winds rush through your fingertips (though I do not advise riding a bike with no hands), so inviting for afternoons spent pouncing around in a new array of clothing combinations. With that said, I've welcomed the official start of fall with a soft, cozy knit jumper and silky tribal print shorts. I may not be able to don heavy coats and wool snoods just yet, but in the meantime, incorporating these bold patterns and creamy hues into my daily rotation happily fills my cup of tea.

LOVE the tribal print shorts. And seriously cannot wait to get my own perfect cozy knit jumper.

I have a question about romwe.com, since you shop there so often! I know the sizes are usually limited, but are they true to size (if it says Small or Medium, they mean Small or Medium, not an exaggerated small, etc.?) And how is the quality of the clothing?

The print on those shorts are just AMAZING. I have GAP shorts just like em, but a lot more boring since it's just blue :P I'm excited that it's finally fall, but the summer heat won't leave...

I wish I could enter the Fall with bare legs and shorts! Lucky you :)

And again about shorts - I love them, a little bit of ethno makes the whole outfit so stylish.
