Yeah, I've had a hankering for brown boots for a while... I love my black ones (they're synthetic and need absolutely no care to stay waterproof and pretty) but Fall is a brown season. Fall and Winter have similar clothes but different colours. You know the colour theory where you're either a Winter, Fall, Summer or Spring? I'm more a Winter by the way. Anyhow, the colours are just about right. In Fall, I'm always drawn to warm yellows, oranges (look horrible in either but I'm still drawn to them), red, cream, and all shades of brown. In the Winter, I go for bright colours like blue, red, and purple with some black, white, and gray mixed in. But both seasons see me wearing sweaters (mostly turtlenecks), thicker materials like wool and corduroy, tights, and boots.
I just love having 4 seasons. My favourite being that short period in Fall where the leaves have changed colour and the air is cool and crisp. That period where you can walk about without a hat or gloves (I usually wear the gloves because my hands get cold very fast) and a warm sweater will keep you nice and toasty. That's also the time where you stop feeling the air pollution that's omnipresent in Summer. No smog in Fall and Winter! Anyhow, each season has its good sides and bad sides and I wouldn't give any of them up...
Hmmm, your coat sounds a bit like my red coat. How long is it? Mine hits just below the hip. I'm not sure what the name for this type of coat is but I've heard some people call it a "canadienne".
You're right about this being the right time to build a wardrobe. I'm in the period of my life where I have the most money to spend. And it's such a good excuse to shop! I do go through phases though. I'm in a shopping mood these days but that'll change soon enough. I can go through months of not buying a single thing and then I go crazy for a month or two.
Sigh, you've got me dreaming about Fall and Winter now. You can remind me of this when I start complaining about the cold next February or March...
