For those of us living in the UK the weather doesn't seem to quite be able to make its mind up what season it wants to be. We've had well above average temperatures, but with the odd storm that makes you think it really is Autumn. For me personally, I've been loving the beautiful colours in the trees but lamenting the warmth preventing me snuggling up in my hand knits.
It seems though, that we might actually be in for a bit of autumnal weather... just as I head up country for a wedding being held partially in a marquee (after the main hall of the hotel suffered a major fire). Now this poses a bit of a problem on the clothes front. I've got a fairly heavy weight gorgeous red dress suit, but with the jacket it feels overly work-like, whilst without it is fairly low cut with no sleeves. Whilst I have worn it with a wrap before, it really is a dress that you have to have something with all the time... in other words rather high maintenance. My other alternative is a lovely purple number from Monsoon. Again a smart dress, and as with the red, the plan is to combine it with a set of killer cream heels (despite the DH's objections that this makes me significantly taller than him!). With either dress though I need a wrap, and whilst I want it to be very pale, I struggle to find creams that suit me. For any other event I would go for white or possibly a silver, but for a wedding that feels a little tacky if you're not the bride.
In other words, I've got an emergency knit on the needles, Oslo Walk in Bluefaced.com's Silver Sparkle Sock... it remains to be seen if the colour suits me so wish me luck!
