Ah, the excitement and anticipation of Fall's arrival! It's my favorite time of year to plan out my wardrobe, because mixing and matching items is pretty much anything-goes. Spring and Summer pieces pair easily with Fall and even Winter items. There are no boundaries or rules this time of year.
This vintage white blouse has been one of my more recent wardrobe staples. And when wearing a purple suede skirt, it was the perfect subtly feminine and non-80s companion. As for the suede skirt? Maybe not a wardrobe staple, but definitely making me giddy about Autumn's impending arrival!

I couldn't agree more with you and I like how you said it's the season of go betweens. I'll miss summer terribly, but I'm glad the weather will be cooler soon. Love your photos (as always).

Oh Lord ... I owned that skirt 20 years ago in high school. I always went the black tights/black turtle neck route with it. Loved it then but I don't think I could pull off purple now :)
