An Adventure in Autumn...

There's something to be said about the changing of seasons.  One of the primary reasons I hauled myself all the way out to New Mexico from Florida was to get to watch the seasons change (not to mention to escape the endless humidity).  There are signs all over town.  You feel a chill in the mid afternoon breeze.  People are digging out their scarves and shawls as evening layers.  Your favorite downtown boutique's window display features mannequins in soft layers of cashmere and great woolen hats.

Fall is one of our favorite seasons here at Wear Abouts.  It's hard not to love all of the options.  Suddenly, the word 'layering' is no longer synonymous with 'sweating'.  We just got in a second order of our awesomely soft rayon plaid flannel tops from Rails.  The first shipment went out the door so quickly it was unbelievable.  I mean, I bought one.  And truthfully, it's my favorite piece I've gotten so far this season.  I've already thrown it on over a dress on a night out downtown, and found myself reaching for it early this morning while I was enjoying a cup of tea on the front porch of my new studio in La Cienega.  It's like wrapping yourself in an old familiar friend, a very good way to start the morning.

Now, I know it's still pretty hot during the day in Santa Fe, I was at a pool party just last week, but it's pretty hard not to smile at all the options that fall is bringing into the store.  My new crush?  All of our beautiful wool hats from Christy's of London.  There are two I already have my eye on in the store.  One's a beautiful taupe fedora with leather detailing.  I put it on and feel much like Indiana Jones, just a bit more refined, but equally as adventurous.  It's so fun how a simple accessory can change your mood.  The other hat that's calling my name is a large, soft brimmed wool number in a dark cranberry color.  It'd be the perfect complement to a dreamy night on the town with a mysterious stranger.  Just enough brim to make a lady look a bit more mysterious too, and a great color to play off of all the great purple-toned lipsticks that are so popular when the leaves start changing colors.

Stop by sometime and look around at our ever-changing selection of seasonal goodies... put on a hat or scarf and start your own Autumn adventure :)


-See you soon,
