fall fashion in florida: anomaly in alliteration?

Fall in Florida is far from the whimsical winter wonderland that much of the Northeast gets to experience. While the portions of the States that actually experience seasons transition through cooler fall temperatures and changing leaves to white show falling, Florida remains essentially the same temperature until one day, it's winter.  (And by 'winter', we mean 60 degrees...we fully acknowledge this may sound fatuous to anyone a mere few hours North)


Florida fall uproots Ugg Boots in the cool 74 degree air, dictates cardigans as an autocracy, and graces tawdry clothing as ordinary and acceptable.


Florida fall fashion is a pit of despair. Once the temperature drops below 70 degrees in Florida, a curious and calamitous trend materializes among Floridians - they attempt to utilize their summer wardrobe alongside the 4 "winter" items any Floridian buys out of necessity, with little thought as to how they will realistically combine them with their Floridian accoutrement. 

And corporate fall fashion...well-is nonexistent...


Corporate fashion is predicated on fluorescent lighting and a continuously controlled 68-degreed bio-dome. Oh, the ignominy of such a hapless environment.




However, despite this trecherous and fixed atmosphere, we decided to amalgamate Florida fall pieces with H.R acceptability, using only a few limited (and mostly thrifted) resources.

Classic summer outfits that transition to Fall by adding a scarf/shawl, closed-toed shoes or booties with a pair of tights.  (Thrifted: Victorian blouse, Wide leg bellbottoms, Fur Shawl, and sheer black blouse from The Sal.  Ecote Clogs purchased at Urban Thread, Gainesville.  Merca boots from NastyGal)  All photos: AshleiPhotography @ AsheliPhotography.com
