A week of “off-beat” transitional season outfits

One of the things that makes autumn/winter fashion so fun is all the texture. But also, the chance to play with items in our closet that are a little bit more off-beat. That have some friction to them, or elements that make you do a double take (the Margiela Tabi’s being case-in-point here). Longer hemlines which you can wear with loose knits look less sloppy than their summer equivalent, and the chance to muck around with a bit more of my closet has been a welcome departure from what has been a daily uniform of denim shorts and a tank or tee. One thing I was reminded of for each of these outfits is how a simple switch up has the ability to transform the way the outfit feels on. Make it more or less you. For example, the third outfit with the silk slip skirt started with a longline black knit tank. But no matter how I finessed it, I couldn’t get that feeling I was aiming for. Changing the top and adding a fuzzy textural vest over top was the antidote. Alright… let’s get into the outfit details.
