A Walk on the Autumn Carpet
Autumn is my most-liked time of the year, when my favourite colours are prevalent; orange, yellow, and green. The warm colours are my spirit colours that feel soulful. Still, as much as I do love the season, it takes a lot for me to get out of my pyjamas, as I like to be snug and comfy, ideally by a window looking out.
Today, I was pleasantly surprised by an unusually crisp, bright and sunny day, so I put on my funky boots, knee-high socks, and a skirt and went for a walk on leaves that looked like an autumn carpet.
This attire is a comfortable casual look, which is girl-like and cheerful.
The boots are a one-off piece that I purchased some years ago in the Philippines.
I remember sitting on a tricycle and spotting those boots in a Ukay-Ukay shop along the highway, and I asked the driver to pull over. Immediately I figured I would save them for autumn when it's still warm enough to wear with dresses or skirts, and knee-high angling boot socks, which stay up without constriction due to its gentle top.
Fashion for me depends on my mood, the weather, the occasion, and the change of seasons adds excitement. I've always found myself shying away from trendy pieces and going for timeless pieces.
This hoody jumper I've had this for 16 years, and what I love most about it is that it is comfortable and close-fitting with enough room to be worn alone. Or tailored enough to be worn neatly under a winter coat on freezing days.
I particularly love the front slide pockets for keeping my hands warm. Also, the sporty style of the jumper means that when I'm walking with my hands in my pockets, it gives a comfy, confident flair, which is playful, as if I'm saying; "I've got sweets in my pockets that you can't have."
One piece of clothing that's always in my wardrobe is a denim skirt. I love that they can be worn right throughout the year, and this one with an A-line cut right above the knee is ideal for someone with a petite frame. The length is also appropriate for all ages without garnering unwanted attention, especially when paired with knee-high boots.
This crossbody bag is a favourite of mine, and I've had it for 18 years. It's by a brand called Tomboy Wiz. The material is durable, and light, the colour works for all seasons and coordinates well with most outfits. Its multiple secure side pockets are ideal for travel or puttering around the town.
I love to mix match and coordinate my clothes. It's like all colours seem to complement and contrast to make outfits seem natural. With timeless pieces of garments and accessories like these, I find new ways of wearing them. For instance, I've never worn this identical ensemble before, and it makes me feel like I have newly bought items.
With the changes of seasons, I find that there's not much need to purchase new items of clothing, especially for autumn and the winter season. I've found that with a little care and creativity, I can jazz up my clothes for a unique stylish look.
This outfit was perfect walking through muddy sections of the woodlands, and the warm earthy colours made me feel lighthearted enough to capture these shots; On my way to the supermarket, to beat the Sunday closing hour of 04:00 PM.
So, all images belong to me and were taken on this day, Sunday 15 October 2023 in Newton Abbot through Mulbury Woodlands.

You are welcome 🤗
🤗
Thank you 😊
Get outta here! That's sounds so freaking awesome. I'd LOVE to do that one day. Autumns in the UK are not as colourful as what I've seen in many regions throughout the US.
I hope that you're having an amazing time 😍🤗
You are welcome.
This is our second time during fall. We were last October 2 weeks too early.
Now apparently, due to the wet summer, all colours are subdued. Locals tell us the worst colours in the last 50 years.
But still… we are having fun and finding the lonely red tree 🌳 here and there.
We traveled from New Hampshire to north Maine… now in southern Vermont and tomorrow we drive to our fourth stay in up state New York/ Hudson valley. 🍁🍂☀️ let’s hope for some sun and more colour.
Hope you can one day. As it is stunning… we love it here.
Good evening 👋🏻🤗
I have a lot of family and friends in that region, but somehow, I have never spent any time in the States.
Have a great day or night 👋🤗
Really… sounds like you have to visit hem one day. They can show you around or recommend better than me.
It’s almost evening here. 17:49h
Night night for you 👋🏻
Ah, is 17:49h pitch dark like the UK?
Nope…
Sunset and still light
Oh, WoW! Stunning! That's like a postcard 🙌
Lucky you 😍🤗
Thanks, it is beautiful around here.
This is the view from our Airbnb. Lovely place in the country side.
🤗🥰
That lodge was a great find, and your photo ignited a spark.
I will file the idea of travelling across the US during the Fall. 😘😍🍂
Awesome, that’s nice to hear. 😉
You have a whole year to plan 🍂🍁☀️😁
Exactly 😉😁🍂😍
Nice ensemble. 👍 the boots are pretty cool. Nice find. fall is a great time of year for fashion and comfort.
Lmao 😂 too funny
😊🙃 Thank you 🤗
Yeah, that's my favourite part. 😁
They are some funky boots indeed.
You are looking very autumny.
I like to mix and match too xxx
Thank you! 😊
It was my lucky day when I found those boots 😁
Happy Weekend xxx

Yes, I found the quality of clothes from Ukay-Ukay better than Gaisano, because they were mainly from Japan and South Korea.
The bonus about these boots was that they were brand new.
I didn't want to delay the tricycle driver and could not get my feet into them, but I loved it so much that I bought it anyway. When I got home, I saw the side zippers 😆🤣
The colour has faded, but if I ever go to Vietnam, I'll let one of the shoe-makers make a similar one for me in a different colour.
I had some lovely clothes when I was in the Philippines, but I gave them all away when I was leaving.🤗
It's always a pleasure to share content with the community, even if it's not directly:)

What a beautiful day to walk on a nice nature trail.
Have a happy start to the week
Hello @jlufer
Thanks for your lovely message. I'm happy that I took advantage of the bright day yesterday and went for this walk because today has been completely gloomy and cold.
I hope that you're having great weather:)))
Comfy clothes you enjoy, pieces in the cupboard that mix and match your mood, sure worked well in this outing through the woods. Awesome countryside!
Thanks @joanstewart
I'm at the age where comfort is everything.
I hope that you're having some awesome weather.
Have a lovely week ahead:)
Those boots are made for walking in the autumn, awesome when a cupboard offers everything you enjoy, don't need much once you comfy.
Raining here I always enjoy, it's the summer heat I sure not to enjoy. 🙃
Ah, the rainy season can be nice once the weather is warm, and it's great to see the plants lush. I love the heavy downpours we get in Jamaica, but the rain here in the UK is very different. 😏
Heavy downpours we experience, gentle rains follow, all depends, both wash the dust off the leaves making it so refreshing to be outdoors on a gentle breeze. Have a dazzling day in the months of fall, enjoy!
I love your boots! Funky is the right word, but also really gorgeous. Unusual and unique, like yourself. Beautiful shots!
Here, the autumn leaves are kinda doing a tango with the summer-like weather :D
Thank you 😊
Yeah, there's not much change in colours here at all, but there's no hint of summer today. I gets freezing cold at nights right now. I hope that you're well xx
I love those boots and the entire outfit suits you very well. The autumn leaves are pretty where you are. Ours are just beginning to change and slowly they are falling off the trees. I also love you attitude with how your ensemble made you feel like you had a new outfit.
Thanks for your lovely comment 😊
Today I noticed that more leaves have fallen, which is very nice.
Have a great weekend:)))
