Dilshad Burman – September 29

End of September was already getting to be boot time, for me at least, but not quite cold enough for a jacket just yet.

From Style Per Diem

The jeans: Dark wash skinny jeans perfect to tuck into boots.

The top: I found this lovely coloured zebra top and had to have it because it reminded me of the unicorn on crayon boxes we used to get when I was in kindergarten. I layered it with a thin white long sleeved cotton sweater for warmth.

The sweater coat: Old Navy had a ‘cardi-coat’ sale and I went looking for something to act as a bridge between long sleeves weather and fall jacket weather. I found nothing there but the idea for a chunky sweater coat stuck and I found this lovely grey one at a buy one get one half off sale. I’m liking loose fits in some pieces of late and I dont mind the short sleeves on this coat since aside from ‘sweater weather’, I’d never wear it without a jacket anyway. It has no discernable neck line and falls lazily to about mid thigh and I like the loosey-goosey-ness of it contrasted with the rest of the close fitting outfit. When I had to brave the winds, I buttoned up and threw on a bright pink scarf.

The boots: Last years mid rise Hush Puppies. Such a great investment. Still loving everything about them.

Love love loved this throw on and go look and I lament the passing on that short short week when I could go without a coat.
