What to wear: Ready for anything

The weather today is completely screwy. It was supposed to be blazing hot but it’s freezing and foggy. Plus, Rob and I have a wedding portrait shoot after work for our former neighbors from San Luis Obispo. It’s one those days in the city where you have to be ready for anything.

And this is the perfect outfit for such a day. It’s got all the favorite elements of a versatile San Francisco ensemble:

• Black turtleneck – I have a Diane Keaton-esque attachment to turtlenecks.
• Light coat – Believe it or not, this darling cropped peacoat is from Gap.
• Slacks – A comfy pair with pockets and a short enough hem for wearing flat shoes.
• Ballet flats – I wear my pair from Arturo Chiang all the time. They are cute and great for unexpected hiking!
• Headband – From Target. A must for keeping curly hair under control on a windy day.
• Big bag – Ready to be stuffed with light meters, film and hair spray!

I even have a t-shirt on underneath this all in case that heatwave decided to show up today! I’m all set for being a stylish photographer’s assistant at Alamo Square and the Palace of Fine Arts this evening!
