Limbo Weather Styling Idea

I am exceptional at beating horses until they have died. But not the literal kind — I would never actually kill a horse. This, in spite of how strongly I stand for (despite my aversion to animal cruelty) Amelia cruelty.

But horses are cool. Specifically in that they have necks long enough to really show off a turtleneck but don’t wear them because they’re humble (speculation) and thus don’t want to ruin something good for us plebeian, regular-necked mortals. But never mind that; this particular horse is metaphoric, people — a euphemism for limbo weather and the dressing cues it incites.

If Monday revealed the details of an outfit that seemingly forced a commenter to ask if I was sick, today might present the same question with this sliver of advice: if you’re ready for your off-the-shoulder blouses but find that it’s still a bit cold and you haven’t quite recovered from that bite the turtleneck bug chewed into your aorta, why don’t you make like Caroline Constas and wear the two garments together? Here I did it with vintage Levi’s and sparkly shoes but I’m sure you can come up with something more interesting.

This is exactly what I meant when I suggested you get a head start on fall last month, but now I’m feeling like maybe we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves, so just call this the horse’s wink.
