She also caught me doing THIS lovely pose when they asked which shoes I was wearing.  But I'll sacrifice my pride to show off my boots.   >_<;;;

Fall

I love scarves (something I have in common with Audrey Hepburn, my style idol).  I enjoy tying them differently.

Since the pattern on this one is of leaves (and it's an exceptionally fall-like day), I wanted to tie it in a way that reminded me of leaves too...I think I actually succeeded.   :)   (And the long dangle-y part blows around dramatically in the crisp breeze, too.)

Sweater: Gap
Scarf: thrifted (Christian Dior!!!)

Nod to Menswear

Actually...this particular ensemble is a bit more than a nod...more like a full bow. I love sporting menswear. 
It's actually a ladies' blazer, but in a retro cut (one of my aforementioned rockin' secondhand treasures).

A semi-outdoorsy look (one of my fave fall outfits).  BOOTS!!!

brooch

I never do brooches, and I figured, why not do two things I never do in the same day: so LOOK: a brooch and an animal print!!!  Go big, or go home.

Though for me it was risky, it was one of the comparatively "tamest" (rrowr) outfits I've worn in awhile.  To the outsider, it was just a cardigan with a flower on it and some jeans.

Cardi: Forever21

Brooch: ShopKo

Skinny jeans (not pictured): Forever21

Shoes (not pictured): gift  (black ballet-style shoes with a very slight wedge)

I'm nothing if not creative.

I am killing myself with this no-camera business...but I just I had to show my footwear this time!

Anyway, a very natural color pallete with earthy-looking fabrics.

Tunic: Target
Tank: American Eagle
Shorts: Express (Note the tie belt! Love!)
Tights: Apt.9
