First Taste of Fall

Shirt: Thrifted, $1 // Skirt: Urban Outfitters, $10 // Necklace: Forever 21, $8 // Boots: Blowfish, courtesy of Famous Footwear

Today's high temperature was in the low '70s. After relentless triple-digit heat, the cool, rainy, fall-like day definitely inspired me to bust out some boots! For this look, I went for a clash of moods with the classic plaid, glam necklace, edgy boots and geeky glasses. More heat is right around the corner, but it was nice to get a preview of the cool days ahead.

    I love all the clashing styles, mixing high and low end fashion is a great idea for the fall!

    Yay for pre-fall looks! Today is supposed to be a little cooler so I hope to wear something a little fall inspired but we'll see if the humidity creeps back up.

    Oh my. I think I just realized that when I was cutting my bangs I was subconsciously wishing I had a short do like yours. I see your bangs now and realize that that abstract picture in my head was actually yours. My new do looks nothing like yours, but Thought I would just let you know that images of you float around in my brain and tell me to do things. I even wore a shirt like this with a necklace like that over the weekend (didn't post it) and when I got here today I was a little bewildered. "how did she do that?" obviously we just have a similar aesthetic ideal. Makes me want to pay closer attention but at the same time, not, since obviously your pictures, once they go in they hide and quietly influence me. I am freaking crazy.

    This is such a lovely fall look. I adore the buttoned up shirt with the necklace layered over it. This post makes me want to pull out a pair of boots just in case the weather gets cool enough!

    So cute, and more inspiring than some of the other fall preview looks i've seen recently. Until today I was having a hard time formulating where I was going for fall...

    I am loving this outfit, I wish it was cool enough in DC to wear my fall clothes! I'm also always coveting how little (compared to me) you spend on your clothes! I wish I was patient enough to be so thrifty!

    Thanks. :) I actually have Mint Sprint but hadn't tried it. It has definitely moved to the top of my list of back logged polishes to try out!
