1) Boots! Everywhere. Short boots, tall boots, motorcycle boots, cowboy boots, flat boots, boots with heels. Mostly black, brown, gray. Fun and practical for cool weather.
2) Leather! Or imitation leather. In all the stores. We browsed in Soho and there were leather jackets, leather skirts, leather pants. Very chic and warm, too.
3) Scarves! Just like I have talked about in previous blog posts. Scarves are in and warm. All colors and materials. Tie them in unique and fun ways. I bought an animal print one at J. Crew.
4) Coats! All kinds. Trench, short, long, car, pea, double-breasted. We may not need them much in Tally, but they can be a key fashion statement.
5) Be Prepared! OK, this isn't a fashion takeaway, but it is something I learned as a Girl Scout. As Kenny Rogers sang in The Gambler, "Know when to walk away and know when to run...", especially when it comes to a major hurricane like Sandy. We bugged out by car in plenty of time to avoid the worst of the weather. Thank you, God, for getting us home to Florida safely!
