I have to admit that it is a little bit difficult for me—a tropical girl—to pair up clothes for autumn. This is not my first autumn but I still didn’t learn how to properly dress up for it.
For regular autumn day, I think I can manage—jeans, sweater, and jackets. That is basic. But you see, we’ll be flying tomorrow to Austria and we are attending this party on Saturday evening. How will I dress for a semi-formal party in autumn?
It’s easy to dress up for summer and winter but for spring and autumn? I find it difficult to look for autumn clothes because for one, I don’t like their colors. For this year’s autumn, it seems that the “in” color is purple and all its darker shades. Iw! Other options are gray, brown, maroon, beige, and black.—how bleak! And another reason is that temperature here in Shanghai is still warm so I don’t see a lot of stores selling autumn clothes yet and we don’t exactly have the luxury of time to shop when we arrive in Austria.
So… I don’t know. I only have today to look for something “nice” (as Marcus describes it) and if I can’t he just have to bear going to the party with me wearing what I think is good enough to keep me warm.
