hindsight

One of the first things I sacrificed when tackling the ambitious task of fitting my entire wardrobe into two (!!) suitcases, were a number of my cumbersome, woollen winter knits. The soft cosy kinds which envelope you in warmth on the crispest of winter days. My justification? The lack of a ‘real’ winter in Sydney (or so I’m told), and the need to allocate that precious suitcase space to what else other than shoes. In hindsight, I suppose I was a little too thorough, as at last count, I had a meagre choice of two options, a charcoal black or a nutty oatmeal – notwithstanding the few lighter jerseys tucked away in my wardrobe. So much for being prepared…

With that in mind, as we face a miserably wet weekend, I’m looking for something to meet me in the middle. A pale grey or a warm blush loosely fitted turtleneck would see me right, worn just so with a patent midi skirt or some skinny leather trousers. And while we’re on the subject of sweaters, preferably in the softest of cashmeres. Wishful thinking perhaps?
