Skirting the Autumn Season

The goods:
• denim shirt from Banana Republic
• dip dyed skirt from Kohl's
• J.Crew belt
• vintage Casio watch and IGWT gold bangle
• vintage navy shades from Paris
• sandals from Forever21

Since this week was just plain hot, I'm topping it off with one of my summer skirts. I figured by mixing it with a year-round material like denim, it could be October-friendly. I got this skirt years ago (when that Daisy Fuentes line first came out at Kohl's—pretty much when Kohl's itself started popping up in the Chicago area), and I like that it incorporates a vibrant color without being overpowering. And speaking of summer attire, looks like I will be sporting it all weekend. Steve and I had plans to go apple picking — a perfectly appropriate autumn activity — but with a forecast calling for lo to mid 80s, there goes my cute "autumn-adventure-shawl-and-boots" ensemble. Heck, maybe we hit the beach instead.
