quiz | what's your fall style?

1. My favorite season is:
a) Winter
b) Fall
c) Summer

2. I would describe my style as:
a) Feminine - I love layering!
b) Geometric - I like playing with shapes and tailoring.
c) Celebrity inspired - I keep my outfits edgy and on-trend.

3. ______ matters most to me.
a) Being comfortable and warm
b) Looking classy and professional
c) Standing out

4. My favorite accessories are:
a) A wool-blend hat or soft scarves
b) A couple of versatile geometric, statement accessories
c) Every single bracelet/necklace/ring I own

5. My favorite color palette has to be:
a) neutral lights, such as cream, white, grey and tan.
b) muted hues, such as brick red, navy blue and forest green.
c) fluorescents and brights, with lots of neon and ombre.

6. My go-to piece in my wardrobe:
a) My woolly cardigan
b) My tailored blazer
c) My ripped jeans

If you chose mostly a's:
Silky soft layers in creamy hues are reminiscent of winter's powdery beds of snow and are perfect for those more inclined to pursue a "comfortable-chic" look. Muted tones like the ones pictured above don't leave much room for error, and can be easily layered to suit the temperature or your mood. A favorite of mine has got to be that aztec-printed woolly - the shapelessness of it would go so well with a pair of equally flattering skinny jeans!

If you chose mostly b's:
 Step up the edginess with architectural heels, fitted blazers, tailored shorts and studded loafers. While you're going crazy with dimension, shape and form, make sure you keep a good balance by skipping out on colors that are too extreme. Ditch the vermillion and opt for a brick red, and who needs electric blue jeans when you've got an effortless pair of acid-washed ones? Next time you're out for some retail therapy, opt for the accessories rack instead and pick up some statement bracelets/geometric necklaces!

If you chose mostly c's:
Your wardrobe is best defined as a disorderly explosion of color and eclectic finds, regardless of whether you picked them up from Fendi or a flea market. Sometimes the most unexpected color combinations wind up being the best, and you're definitely not afraid to take that risk! Get your hands on as many printed pieces as you can, stir things up with a colorful ombre top, and finish with white-hot Docs for a winning ensemble.

chilly mornings, ragged androgyny and pumpkin soup.

I'm too lazy to credit these pictures, they're all from tumblr and therefore are the intellectual property of all hipsters present on the aforementioned site.

As I watch temperatures across the globe slowly creep down the thermostat, the rest of the world seems to be drifting into a dormant, chilled state. I feel so restless here in Singapore; it's monsoon (rainy) season and as the days drag on it's getting harder and harder to pretend like the rain slamming down on my roof is snow (or something equivalent to that exciting extent).

So, to compensate for my uncontrollable wanderlust which is only aggravated by this upcoming festive season, I have handpicked a few pictures off tumblr which best describe my awkward craving for freezing weather, woolly layers, ugg boots that bulge with fluff and steaming mugs of hot chocolate. Enjoy, my darlings.
