Monochromatic Beige for Fall

October 11, 2024 /

One of the things that I like about the change of seasons and the change in temperatures is how your closet because once again a playground full of “new” things! If you have somewhat defined seasons where you live, you might be putting away some of your clothes for part of the year, so when you switch out your clothes, they feel new once again. Both of these pieces here actually stay out year round (the sweater for cooler nights), but I haven’t worn them together yet. Since I live in Georgia, I can wear sandals at least through most of October even if I don’t often choose to.

You have seen this crochet sweater in April this year, when I visited Jodie and we took blog pictures featuring monochromatic beige. Crochet is perfect for those in between season days: a little warmth but with the holes, you don’t overheat!

Here are some advantages of putting some of your clothes away for part of the year:

  • your closet is not overcrowded so your brain is not bombarded by the volume of clothes
  • your closet is easier to organize
  • the clothes feel like they are new because you haven’t worn them for a season or two

There are probably several disadvantages to storing some clothes away for part of the year. The main one for me is that some clothes can work year round: for example summer dresses will work in the winter with boots and a sweater on top. For that reason, I do keep some of my dresses out year round as well as some crochet sweaters and a pair of shorts or two. For me, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages so winter fabrics, boots, sweaters and some darker skirts are stored away for the warmer months. The very bright skirts dresses and halter tops are put away fall and winter.

I used to be a purse person: right now though, I really only wear a few on rotation and others I wear just for blog pictures. This one, though, is one of my favorites. I like the size and mixed media. I did buy 2 new purses since I started writing this post and will have to share them soon. I found that I like something that is not too big, has some structure to it and if it has some texture, even better.

If you have seen my IG feed, there are a lot of colorful outfits, I am wearing right now, but a neutral light monochromatic look sure holds some appeal too!

A bientôt!
