Four Seasons in a Day

Spring in Australia is unpredictable as. Well, you can continue the sentence but what I am referring is the crazy weather that you can experience in a day. Four seasons in one day is easily achievable, you wake up feeling cold and don’t know exactly what to wear until you check the weather forecast which is at least pretty much accurate. As soon as the sun shines it gets warmer and sometimes becomes unbearably hot from the middle of the day ‘til late arvo. And because hot weather causes lots of surface water to evaporate into the atmosphere, it eventually comes back down in a form of rain. Or if it rises quickly and cools quickly you can get hail as the raindrops stay aloft due to convection currents rising. But more than likely a thunderstorm is happening first before a heavy rainfall. This exactly happened last week, it was very humid and sticky from midday then I heard a thunderbolt so I went out immediately to get my clean laundry from the hills hoist. Didn’t even finish one line then I felt the hail dropping on my head. Lucky it wasn’t as big as golf balls or I’ll be in a great amount of pain :) In less than 3 minutes I was completely soaked. From then on it became colder all throughout the night.

Oww wait, I don’t intend to educate the readers about weather just giving a prelude on my ordeal of what to wear in this kind of season. My question mostly is solved in layering or dressing with mixed textures and shapes. Here I wore a 3/4 sleeve fitted dress layered with a sleeveless jacket. The dress is cotton which is very soft and the jacket is made of linen which when it’s buttoned completely it keeps me really warm if it gets cold outside. And because it’s a short dress plus I wear an open sandals it still gives an airy feeling to make me not sweat when the sun is up. Unbutton the jacket and it’s as breezy as. Ether way, I feel comfy outdoors and indoors. So there it goes, such a complicated world we have :)

 

Not forgetting to mention my Gucci Soho Leather Top Handle bag in light pink. Love this tote, it’s an underrated Gucci item. Honestly, its little sister which is the Soho Leather Disco bag is more popular, perhaps because it’s more affordable due to the size. The leather of this bag is so soft and very easy to clean although it can get slouchy and lose its shape after much use. It is lightweight, roomy and most of all has a shoulder strap. So perfect to use when taking a number of stuff due to unpredictable weather in Spring.

Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. - Hosea 6:3
