Yesterday the sunshine made a reappearance and mid afternoon I decided to dash out and take some pictures before daylight savings time plunged us into darkness prematurely. I chose to return to the tiny beach in Wapping that I discovered with a friend a few weeks ago, (seen in this post). The sunset was just as beautiful as the last time!
I've been living in some variation of this outfit all week. I'm not normally one for jeans, or pants at all, but since the life-saving, frostbite-preventing arrival of this alpaca sweater (all the way from Ashley in Southern California!) I've been embracing my inner grandpa. Even my lacey crocheted collar is looking distinctly tie-like here!
Outfit:
alpaca cardigan: Three Feathers Vintage
cambric shirt: Pure by Alfred Sung
crocheted tie: random piece of fabric
jeans: Winners
shoes: Steve Madden via ebay
unkempt hair: courtesy of the ridiculous wind tunnels in the underground
Title from The Clash song, naturally.

That sweater looks so comfy, and I love the mustard color too! That is the prettiest little beach too; I like how secluded it looks :). Also, now I can't stop singing those lyrics in my head over and over haha! ;)
@Rio: I KNOW!! I've had it on repeat for an hour in my head!
Love that yellow cardigan!

Is it the Thames?! Lovely river, lively sweater!
Emily--the sweater is beautiful and these photos totally undo my mental images of where you are. I have believed it is ALWAYS overcast there.
Emily,
Pictures are beautiful. If you live close to Thames, I am sure you pay a lot. Sometimes I travel to London. I plan to meet Bik....may be I can meet both of you together...but don't know when it is going to happen...does not sound like in any time in near future.
That's a very cool and relaxed look that I wish I can copy. I don't think I'm very good at casual outfits.. ack!
Yoga and Uggs.. =)

That's a beautiful colour cardigan. Saw a similar one in Urban Outfitters last week and was oh-so-tempted. I want to live by the sea! jazzy ♥
that sweater looks wicked cozy
Great view and colors! And cute outfit***
Lovely pictures!
that sweater is gorgeous, what a stunning colour x
I like the whole look of this outfit, but I adore those shoes and that sweater. Hooray for trying not to freeze.
you look so careless yet amazingly nice in these pictures Emily! I am not usually a pants girl, but have been wearing them quite freqently, and agreed that with this cold weather we should stock up with wool knits and pants or, which I prefer, wool/thickl tights! and speaking about that, today after 3pm got so chilly in London that I almost froze! though I keep seeing wearing shorts, sleeveless shirts and sandals like it was summer! gosh!
so anyway I'll be tomorrow at the camden town tube station at the time you said! looking forward to see you! :)
I love that picture of you with the steps and the sign that says "TOWN OF RAMSGATE."
All the elements work really well in that photo :)
i love this look! mustard yellow always wins, and the lacy necktie really pulls everything together. i would totally hang out with your inner grandpa :)
These shots are lovely!! That sweater is cozy and kooky and cool... especially paired with those shoes. You look great.
Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
You are a pretty sexy grampa! I love the senior look- crochet sweaters, vintage handbags and flat shoes- comfy and stylish!

Haha, me too... but my grandpa ain't the vintage handbag toting type! At least, not on this occasion!
Ooh, that looks like such a cozy cardigan. Great color, too, especially with the sunlight reflecting off everything... love these photos and your fab location!
I love your cardigan *----*

what country are you in? you are such a world traveller (i read your info page!). so nerdy, but these pictures remind me of highlander, and his houseboat...haha. cheers!
The sunlight looks so pretty cast upon everything along the river's edge. Especially on the moss-covered walls. It's perfect.
Your sweater is gorgeous. And supremely cozy by the looks of your photos!
