fall fashion 2011

i bought the norse projects shirt jacket max posted, sorry max you can't buy it now.

im focusing on my cap project right now

can't believe i never post here as i am totally obsessed with clothes, it's probably due to my catholic reticience to talk freely about fashion, though it's subsided mostly in recent times, so here i am.

what i want:
orange scarf
a pair of brogues i want to wear every day (have a pair of saddle shoes and a sort of pointyish brogue but i feel i want a more casual pair)
maybe a cap of some kind...i love tweed caps but it's a bit "irishman" and lots of twats wear them. they would totally suit my golf detective fashion tho.
brown leather gloves
a suit...gonna go second hand, i find blazers all the time but always hard to get a suit that fits well, despite some lovely stuff being around.

i like the below jumper a lot too.

I think I am stealing your orange scarf idea, LG!

haha golf detective fashion :) <3

i bought a lovely dark brown vintage fur collar yesterday and i love it

despite my ethics and love of animals and opposition to slaughter for fashion purposes :( i just really love leather and really want a fur vest - i feel like it's a hypocritical thing of me to want, but i truly do respect clothes made out of animals more than i do synthetics (which is a whole other kettle of fish re: industry, craftmanship, etc) - at least they're items that last forever, can be repaired and well-loved. also my feet and synthetic fabric do not get along in any way, ouch ouch ouch.
also fur is so amazingly warm!! montreal was meant for wearing fur, not even kidding. i am torn...

I was inspired by Mireille Darc's sartorial choices in "Weekend" last night.

rrrobyn - at least it is vintage, right? i understand your fur concerns, and i think that your buying used is really a good testament to the virtues of durability and practicality you mentioned!

lots of tartans, btw

Is the cut of those orange pants the way things are going to go this fall? Because come on, that is really weird looking with the low crotch and the very tapered legs.

im dressed pretty well this fall tbh

still need some new sweaters though

carrot cut is terrible. makes you look like you have a fat arse or nappy.

but i dig the bold colours thing. i can't really wear browns, beiges, mossy colours etc, it's not for me but i think it can look great on others.

carrot cut is a little weird but if done right it can be really nice. i got those off asos and on arrival they're a little bit too drop crotch for my liking, though i'm still happy enough. but i have another pair of carrot cut that are a bit less baggy and tighter and they sit really nicely. i like the sort of "plus fours" feeling of them...think they're nicer with the cuffs rolled up a bit tho and some decent socks (enhances the sort of humorous british vibe) they look insane if you wear them full length imo, the narrowing at the bottom is so diff from the baggy ass. if rolled up a bit they kinda sit nicely.

got my sweaters flopson fall fashion now in full effect B-)

got a bit of stuff recently, orange polo neck, looks pretty great with navy blazer and a mac. also got some sort of burgundy jeans and a heavy cable knit sweater. gonna look at second hand stuff today for a bit i think.

Oh, they somehow have those Fair Isle Junya jackets at Bloomingdales. Right next to a bunch of shit like Tommy Bahama or whatever. But I got this fair isle cashmere onesie from Club Monaco last year on sale for $80!

obvs i dont leave the house wearing it. but its super nice to lounge around home in.

btw, elmo, im going to tokyo tomorrow morning. if i see those beams socks i'll grab you a pair

though this is what i bought myself for fall. its hard to see but the material is kinda thick. not quite neoprene'y but but super pliable.

(the one on the right)

oh its quilted too, which is also kinda hard to see. anyway, thats that

you look great! i like that shade of pink

aw phil! you are too cute. thanks for looking out.

also, that fair isle union suit is stellar

holy shit, vests. calm down everyone

i have a deeply passionate relationship with vests

just the puffy vest is back in and it's impossible to look anywhere w/o seeing a billion of them

srsly tho those vest are terrible

i think i saw one at burlington coat factory

aw, what's wrong with a puffy vest?

nothing wrong with down vests yall

nothing's wrong w/it. some look pretty good. everyone needs to calm down with it is all i'm saying.

UH

elbow pads

Is to early to start talking about this yet because maybe if we do so now we can will it to be fall.

That should have read "is it too" not "is to", whoops.

Never too early, at least according to stores in the DC area. . .
