Dilshad Burman – October 1
The weather was mild and in keeping with my determination to adapt part of my summer wardrobe for fall, I put together this outfit for a work/play day…
NB: Please excuse the quality of the picture. I WISH I had a better one.

The shorts: Previously posted classic black walking shorts – easy to dress up or down! I layered them with some dark grey wool blend tights for warmth.
The sweater: Although you cannot see it clearly, this cowl neck, short sleeved, exaggerated raglan sweater is a gorgeous GORGEOUS shade of eggplant purple. Its turning out to be my favourite colour this season – as it was last fall. I have since tried to get a better picture of the sweater but I need daylight, else it looks black!
The boots: My only pair of black boots, my dependable hush puppies. I’m looking in to some grey or slate ones – I wont get tan or brown – no likey. Anyone know where I can get size 5-5.5 shoes??
Accessories: I just have to mention – my hair looked fabulous this day! Um..also, I threw on this lovely thin key hole belt courtesy ET and birthday packages and a red faux snake skin cuff, which, if you could see, is also lovely.
This outfit allowed for much running about and comfy movement and I cant wait to wear it again, now that I have lighter grey tights to break up the look a little more.

love it. the whole outfit makes for a cool silhouette and it’s all-black done right. I forgot to mention before but I like your boots…simple, lengthening shape and seem versatile.

At first glance I actually thought it was a wool dress. Yay for walking shorts and great job adapting them!

Steve Madden has small size shoes.
I am not sure about ALDO but most likely they don’t.
Also try Nine West, you can order if they don’t have your size.
