We’re having funny weather in Sydney at the moment. It’s very brisk in the mornings at about 12 deg C but warming up to 21 deg C or more. This is the perfect weather for a nice cropped jacket, just like the one I happen to own, but not warm enough for its cropped sleeves.
The solution? Long gloves.
Now, they need to come at least to your elbows, otherwise there is not a lot of point (short gloves with bare arms just seems foolish to me). The only problem is they can be hard to find. I spend hours searching on line for some, thinking I had no chance (hence, no pictures on this post). I was reduced to asking my brother’s UK girlfriend to see what she could find (thanks L).
Then, by pure chance I walked into my local Suzanne Grae, and found some just sitting there. I snapped them up, I can tell you. So now I have a pair of long black gloves (with grey palms) to wear with my lovely cropped jacket. I’m very pleased.
What is your must have accessory for winter (or summer) this year?

Long gloves always seem to be on sale in the UK, it must be the near constant rain! There is a little boutique in the town I live in that has beautiful examples year round - if you need any in the future, let me know!
Hey MysteryCreature, thanks for the kind offer!
