TULLE SKIRT - AUTUMN

Military Jacket: Decjuba (similar)
Tulle Dress: American Rag

Shirt: Cotton On

Shoes: Pulp Noir

Purse: Badgley Mischka

Christy is very forgiving: she's had her tulle skirt post ready to go for about six weeks. You know, back when it was actually her springtime. God love her, she's been so patient with me while I struggled to keep up my end of the blog deal last month. But here we are! Tulle skirts! In spring, in autumn! Kind of.

Here in New Zealand, we had a pretty rough autumn. Freezing rainstorms galore. I've not been very impressed. But you know what makes god awful weather bearable? Tulle skirts and gloriously fleece-lined tights. That's how you make your tulle work in cold weather: cozy tights and military jackets.

The tulle skirt is actually a tulle dress, which I often disguise by layering blouses and sweaters over the top, because-- versatility.

Thanks to my mother, I also now have a grown-up, autumn-appropriate handbag. She gifted me this Badgley Mischka gem when I (finally) finished my Master's degree earlier this year. It's smooth and wine-colored in a way that makes me want to be constantly holding a glass of Pinot Noir in the other hand while I'm out and about with it. The gold and quilt details are the stuff of handbag dreams.

I honestly can't wait for the earth to move on its axis and give us the sun back. Until then, tulle and wine-colored everything, and prayers for a gentle winter ahead.
