Winter brings on its own set of blues. Also grey, brown, and beige.
Fashion has taken an undertone on the Lavale campus, with coats and sweaters being strutted straight off a fashion runway.
As the mercury struggles to rise, coats are splashing out faster than a flood. In a trend that may seem right out of an animated film, bags and boots are also changing shape and hue.
Minus the snow, the somber styles the winds have blown in are enough to give Hollywood a complex. And if you think you will miss the bright yellows and reds, the scarves tell a whole different story.
Fashion’s also dripping down to the feet, and even stockings, socks and shoes spell C-H-I-C.
Why, even conversations are misting up quite differently.
Overheard in the line at the canteen counter,
“Your jacket’s cooler than Steve McQueen!”
“That’s funny, coz it keeps me really warm!!”
“Speaking of warmth, I would like some on this hilltop.”
“Hey, try UCB¹. They will make sure you stay warm from head to toe.”
“But I like the colours Tommy² has.”
“And you are never quite ready for winter without Allen Solly.”
“Right now, I’m eyeing this gorgeous sweater from Canturberry.”
“Excuse me, Ma’am? It’s your turn.”
My only trip to Paris was cut short.
