Now I really am becoming middle aged, fixating on the weather and diligently following the BBC weather app…. My not so regular blogging has become even less regular and almost as rare as my visits to the gym….
So its on with the winter wardrobe and time to chuck the wedges to the back of the wardrobe…I wish I could post lots of photo’s of my new capsule winter pieces… from my new boucle coat, amazing new ankle boots and that all important and versatile jumper, that can be dressed up with your Oliver Bonas accessories… But alas no, I’ve been back from my holidays for a few weeks and haven’t even managed to finish all my washing (there appears to be no urgency in washing cotton maxi dresses and cut off shorts? I cant think why, as its not quite 10 degrees, so not yet time to switch the heating on).
My motivation to actually engage in the change in seasons, is nil, due to the fact that I am still in late summer mode and mourning the loss of light nights and bright mornings. Where has the ‘transition’ phase gone? surely the emergence of dark nights should be slow and with a health warning (much like any exposure to our current political parties!). With my insistence on still turning up to work in a dress and wedges (it was a black dress, as a compromise) and leaving my waterproof coat in the car, knowing it’s going to rain, I am in the denial phase. This phase is likely to last until Halloween, when I can at least be myself and turn into the sardonic, middle aged, cat owning 50 year old that will remain, until the clocks go forward…. time to purchase a SAD lamp me thinks……
