I like this outfit, and I'm not totally sure why. I think it's most likely because of the fact that while it was put together, not one person gave me the "why are you wearing that" look. Yeah, I know fashion is supposed to be about expressing your personal style and while I agree with that completely... I admit that sometimes I get a little self conscious about my outfits when everyone else is wearing sweats and I'm in something completely different and getting 'that' look for it. I still wear what I like, it just takes some of the fun out of it. And with that in mind, although I love my little school, I cannot wait to get out into bigger cities for day to day life!

I know I've said this constantly for the past few weeks, but I love fall! Today as I was out I saw this gorgeous yellow tree by the hay bales i couldn't help but get some pictures. About the outfit though, I saw this chambray shirt on a blog the other day- and since I was already planning on going to the J.Crew outlet I couldn't help myself... But I do think it will be a great basic for fall and then hopefully spring too! When I added this khaki skirt (I would like it better if the pockets weren't there... I might just have to change that) maroon tights and oxfords, it just felt really right. I wish all outfits came together this easy...

confession: I actually wrote this post about a week ago- the day before the 30 for 30 challenge came out. But I knew instantly that I wanted all of these pieces in my 30 items, so I saved it... But from now on I vow complete honesty and timeliness :)

Remix! But not really...

{Sandals:Forever 21, $18}{Necklace: Forever 21, $5}

I found these pictures on my computer from early fall. They're not the best, which is probably why I didn't post them, but I still really liked the outfit. When I first pulled them up though, I realized that I had worn this top, short, and pair of shoes in several of my recent posts. I guess it just goes to show the many ways you can remix a couple of basics!

Where the WIld Things Are

{Jacket: Forever 21, $30}{Belt: NY & Company, $4}{Necklace: Vintage, My mom's}

I love wearing pretty dresses and skirts... but sometimes it's fun to go a little out of my comfort zone... so today I tried out the whole "wild" thing... haha. Honestly, in comparison to others, this look isn't really that wild at all. But for me, leopard shoes, leather jacket, and hot pink dress turned skirt is a little out there! It was a nice change for the day though. Here's to stepping outside the comfort zone more often!

I absolutely love fall. Everything about it is perfect- the leaves changing colors, the beautiful weather, the amazing food and drinks (hot apple cider? oh yes.), halloween!, and the seemingly good mood everyone is in as they're enjoying the last few weeks of nice weather. But days like today just top it off. It cool this morning, probably around mid-fifties, but as the day went on it went all the way up to mid sixties. Seriously... perfect. Although I admit, I'm really excited to start wearing tights and cozy sweaters again :)

Why

Today was one of those days- not the bad kind, the really really super good kind (with an exception or two, but hey, let's focus on the positive.) It started out with waking up to a super sweet text, then later in the day finding out I scored twenty points above the class average on my macroeconomics test, having a pretty easy day at work, having my very first hot carmel apple cider (amazing), and then towards the end of the day, when finally taking blog pictures, realizing how much I really liked my outfit. Funny, I feel like lately I haven't really been myself fashion wise. But today, everything just seemed to fall into place. Ok... so it wasn't an earth shattering good day, but I'll be thankful for what I get :)
