Dress, No Boundaries. Tights, We Love Colors. Shoes, Two Lips (Martini). Leather owl brooch, thrifted. Ring, Jan Michaels. Bag, World Market.It’s been one year and one day since the last time I tired of summer. I’m so predictable!
I’ve been dying to start sporting my fall purple and these FABULOUS shoes. As far as fall shoe trends go, I shy away from a full on bootie or (the horror!) peep-toe booties. I am embracing mary janes, menswear detailing, and boot-like pumps. The tights are from We Love Colors. Although they may not look it in the flash, they are fully opaque. I am ordering more.
More fun trends I like: owls (yes, I’m late to this party) and mixing brown and gray. These aren’t necessarily fall trends, but they seem appropriate to the season.And I can’t resist sharing Mike’s reaction to the owl brooch. I made him close his eyes while I pulled it out of the bag and held it to my chest. He took one look and said, “Well howdy there, Sheriff.” I’ll admit, from a distance, it resembles a law officer’s badge. I guess I’m the sheriff of Owl Town.
Adios, muchachos. It’s time for work.

you must of hated my peeptoe brogues then! ;)
Yay, tights from We Love Colors! I have several pairs in so many colors, and it's so much fun.
I've noticed that they get kind of baggy around the ankle, though... Have you noticed that?
hillary - I missed those! I'll have to catch up on your photos.
jeanne - no bagginess yet today! I am at the high end of the weight/height range for the S/M so maybe that makes a difference.
I've been counting the days until Fall since the middle of July. And since I'm in SC, I still have another few weeks before I can really start wearing my favorite clothes.
Thanks for answering my vest question - I'm wearing one today (with minimizing bra) and it looks good!
Looks GREAT! I, too, am getting super excited about sporting some fall gear. Right now I can't stop thinking about leggings with dresses. But in Seattle we only get a few weeks of "summer", so it's basically blasphemy to admit :)
Aw, I love owls. That bag is so cute!
I love it! I love owls as well.
Love shoes, love bag, love hose. Dress---not so much.
Gorgeous shoes Kasmira :)
Dear Kasmira,
Your shoes told me they want to live in my closet.
Thank you,
Laura
(For reals - are they recent? I need them!!)
I laughed out loud at "howdy there"!
I love those shoes - they are similar to my black and white Fluevogs. Here's to granny chic!
i love the pop of color that your tights give this look.
lovely blog.
alison - the tights would probably stick to most fabrics. I wore a half slip under this dress. When I wear tights, I almost always wear a slip so I don't get "skirt creep."
laura - they are a recent purchase. Try googling "Two Lips Martini." I had to search to find them in my size because they are selling like hotcakes! I orderd .5 size larger than usual because that's all that was available - but it also turned out to be a good fit.
