Pre Autumn chocolate turtle neck

Vintage Mock neck jumper - The mercantile, Shorts - A.P.C., Sandals - Maryam Nassir Zadeh
This outfit photo was taken a few of weeks ago (I totally forgot to post) and is the ultimate pre autumn winter outfit. Normally I never take into account how my outfit is suited for pre seasons, I normally focus on the 'whole season'. The combination of this vintage turtle neck from the mercantile  with my wool shorts creates a good medium of body temperature, enabling me to cope with bare legs. Topping (or shall I say bottoming) it all off is the Maryam Nassir Zadeh elephant suedes. I wish this state of pre season could last a bit longer, I am enjoying the ability to wear these suede beauties and dread the day I have to store them for next spring summer. 

I need to share my admiration for the vintage mock neck, ultimately the turtle neck being my favourite component to the garment, there is something so flattering and interesting of the appearance of a almost totally concealed neck. The chocolate colour is something new to my wardrobe, brown not being my initial colour choice. However, I find it does suit my skin tone very nicely, so it is has made a place in my conciousness of future buys!
