40º-50ºF (5-10º C) for the ATL

Cath and I stumbled upon the Feather Report earlier this week. It gives New Yorkers daily inspiration of what to wear as dictated by that day’s weather report. It’s a fashion blog meets weather.com. Genius! The only problem is that Atlanta is a bit south of NYC. We figured we are already jealous enough of our northern neighbors (Uniqlo, when will you show some love in the South?), and it was time to do something about it.

So welcome to the AsianCajuns’ new weekly post “Outfit of the Week.” Each Sunday afternoon/evening we will attempt to keep you inspired with what to wear in the Southeast according to what the weather will be like for the week. We do realize that many of our readers are not in the Southeast or even the United States- please don’t feel excluded! Cath and I will include the degrees in fahrenheit and celsius in the post titles, so you can search our weather-dictated outfits any time of the year depending on which hemisphere or latitude you are in.

We also want to make these outfits at least somewhat attainable to readers. Most of the pieces we choose will be under $100. If there is a designer piece we absolutely love, we’ll include it, but keep the thousand dollar baubles to a minimum.

Let us know what you think! We love to hear feedback from our lovely readers the world over!

This week’s picks are inspired by the movie “The Brothers Bloom” from 2008. Cath, my bf and I watched it for the first time the other night and fell in love with the art direction and costume design.

We were especially smitten by Rinko Kikuchi’s style (and personally I think she steals the show, even though she only has about three lines the entire movie).

  1. I love Rinko. She did the cover for i-D in April 2009. The magazine also had a 2-page article with Daul (RIP). Rinko dressed up in Chanel for the spread.

    But where’s the hat from?

  2. Hello darling!
    Happy New Year to you both! I wish you a lovely year filled with joy, adventure and lots of stylish clothes! hehe
    I watched The Brother’s Bloom about a month ago and I LOVED IT! The acting, the story line and unpredictable ending.

  10. Oh she looks beyond fabulous in these shots! And what a great idea for outfit posts! I actually check the weather and temperatures every morning before I decide what I’m going to wear, so I can totally see how useful this would be!
