A quilted jacket inspired by Buddhist monks?

I like to call this quilted silk jacket my Tibet / Buddhist colors jacket because it has just a mystical patchwork of prints and colors to include burgundy, plum, yellow and saffron that Tibetan Buddhist monks most commonly wear, but in addition, peach or blush pink / nude, red, brown, yellow, saffron and pale gold.

 I love the brass buttons with a circular motif

the jacket is worn with a Charlotte Russe peach / blush pink / nude crinkled scarf bought on sale for $5...

or this burgundy crinkle scarf...

the jacket even has saffron in it, so this saffron scarf might do too...

then even this mustard tee might team well...

blush pink tee

this $2 blush pink long sleeve tee cutie...

even this pale blush pink cropped sweatshirt...

 and these blush pink jeans...

blush pink jacquard romper

and even this blush pink tee dress...

blush flowers necklace...

this Kleancolor Salsa nail polish...

these peach wayfarer sunglasses...

would team well with these rose gold fisherman sandals

this cute blush pink or peach kiltie oxford shoe...

for shoes, these burgundy oxfords...

 these Doc Martens style cherry booties...

or even these burgundy slingbacks...

Burgundy gladiators

And these burgundy mules

maroon / burgundy and white sneakers

Uniqlo burgundy wine maroon crossbody bag

deep red angular sunglasses

these retro cool cranberry red sunglasses...

and these deep plum sunglasses...

these blush pink cateye sunnies / sunglasses...

Alpine tricolor ankle boots too OTT?

and by OTT I mean "over the top" with three colors, cognac, burgundy and hunter green as well as a warm plaid lining.  When I bought them online, the seller very cleverly photographed them so that only a hint of olive green was showing on the side, yup, olive green!  But they're a half size too small but luckily fit like a glove now... Oh, almost forgot, they're by Danexx.  But I cannot deny that they are very autumnal and alpine, right?

 and I see those boots with this hunter green rose sweater...

that is so reminiscent of Dolce & Gabbana...

deep red angular sunglasses

Do Japanese geta and zori shoes and tabi toe socks make you feel kittenish?

I don't know what it is about autumn - even while it's still warm - but it makes me want to slip on a pair of Japanese zori or getas sandals with a pair of tabi socks that enable you to wear flip flops or thongs...

I'm talking about zori sandals with tatami footbeds and three inch wedges...

and these luscious red lacquer geta sandals with painted flowers...

and these gorgeous kittenish tabi toe socks - gorgeously playful!
