Autumn has arrived, well, slightly less warm Summer has arrived in Queensland. Everyone knows we only have two proper seasons here. Nine months of Summer (including three months of slightly less warm Summer – it ain’t Spring, because it’s still humid. Who needs a percentage? Just look at my stupid hair) and then three months of autumn with a week’s worth of slightly colder autumn thrown in.
And with a new season arrives new considerations. New wardrobe choices, new television viewing schedules, new fruit options – or less fruit options (come back mangoes!), and new drinking choices – yes, I will start drinking my white wine without ice in it.
While change can be exciting, it can also be inconvenient. For example, my online shopping habit is getting out of control, but there is so much stuff out there that I need. And everyone knows that stuff makes your life better. Duh.
My (apparent) previous style muse. Get it girl.
I think I’m having some sort of rainbow-hued clothing backlash, because following several years of accumulating a wardrobe that looks like a gay pride parade exploded in my cupboard, but with less glitter and tight, short pants, I cannot stop buying black clothing.
It hasn’t been a conscious decision, but I think I must be now trying to channel a glamorous-mysterious-woman-at-a-wake vibe to counter the packet-of-fruit-lifesavers vibe I’ve been giving off in recent years. However, there has been a disturbing amount of leather panelling making appearances in my purchases. I’m either thinking about taking up motor-cross in my spare time, or I’m trying to sartorially embody the Sons of Anarchy and Suzy Quatro. And to go with all this black wearing, it means I now MUST wear make-up, lest I look like some superannuated emo.
Gee, my life is hard.
Leather Tuscadero… she knows what’s up in the sartorial stakes!
What has the new season brought you?
It's Claire as mud
