We are having a very long autumn here in Melbourne- not that I’m complaining about it!- so it means that I’m still yet to bust out the ankle boots, jackets and coats.

I figured that this outfit, which is a sort of every day look for me will work well trans-seasonally in that I could quite easily add a pair of ankle books, a gillet (see picture below) and a scarf.

For anyone who has visited Melbourne knows, we more often than not have four seasons in one day. Most visitors don’t believe it, until they get here of course and realise that you can wake up in the morning to pouring rain and grey skies, only for it to clear by 11am to sunshine, then back to grey and high winds in the afternoon, only for the sun to come out again before a thunderstorm.

It’s true, and that’s why they say Melbourne has such a distinctive ‘look’ fashion wise. People tend to layer more because you simply end up taking off and putting on clothes all day long. In these photos I’m wearing three layers, but into winter I would probably add another two for warmth.

It sounds kind of crazy now I have articulated it, but in a funny way you just sort of, get used to the frenetic weather and thusly adjust your wardrobe to cope.

The upside? You simply have more of everything, which really doesn’t phase me one bit!

What I’m wearing:

Leather jacket: Siricco
Breton top: Zara
Top: Sussan
Leggings/pants: Indy C

Necklace: Indy C
Sunnies: They were a gift with purchase
Heels: Therapy
Clutch: Feathers

My custom manicure as done at Miss Fox. Sarah mixed artistic colours ‘Foxy,’ ‘Majestic,’ and ‘Fashionista,’ to get this deep ox-blood colour. I love that they will custom mix colours to get a colour that is exact and just for you. And I do like my nail colours exact!

For winter I’d probably add these types of items:
