Ah, that beautiful time of the year when summer meets fall in a fabulous combination of warm sunny days and brisk nights. If only people knew how to dress for them.
I’ve been staring into my closet longingly, waiting for the first chilly day to arrive so I can wear my new fall wardrobe. But that’s where the temptation ends; I know it is not the time to pull out my tights or wool coat or boots. It seems, however, that the minute word gets out that the temperature dropped below 70 (even if that happens at one o’clock in the morning), New Yorkers are donning all the latest fall and winter fashions.
Then there’s the opposite group that is in denial: they refuse to pack up their tank tops and shorts. The city is currently a mish-mash of fashion – some people are stuck in summer with their mini skirts; others are bundled up, ready for the next blizzard.
Here’s my take: Hey you, bundled up in the long down coat and scarf (yes, I did see her yesterday) – what’s the rush in ditching summer? At the very least, embrace fummer. ‘Tis the season for long sleeve tee shirts and flip flops.
