I have no regrets that I bought both the midi skirt and the shirt in this fun black & white mod print. I’ve now worn each piece 3 times since I got them in May. I started pulling my fall/winter clothes out of storage over the weekend, which means packing up some warm-weather-only items. Sometimes I have trouble deciding what I should put away to save space (still a concern even in my new epic closet), and what I will actually want to wear through the winter. I made the executive decision to keep this set around. The black and white print goes with pretty much any color I want to add, which so far has included pink, mint, orange, yellow, and blue (scroll down for the proof). I haven’t tried any darker fall colors yet, but I’m ready to give it a shot.

On the other hand, I couldn’t come up with any good reason to keep out my white eyelet dress or my t-shirt that says “BEACH” on it. I’m pretty good at remixing, but there’s not a lot I can do with those pieces during a Midwest winter, other than glare at them angrily through my chattering teeth.

It’s that wonderful time of year when I can trick you into thinking I’m way more fabulous than I am, just by situating myself in a picturesque autumnal scene.  The gorgeous fall leaves make you think I’m a millionaire supermodel, don’t they? Yes, I thought so. Only on the inside, I’m afraid. In real life, I’m still just a thousandaire who’s 8 inches too short (and eats too many bagels) to be a supermodel. I could probably wear a potato sack, and as long as I added a cute scarf and surrounded myself with yellow and orange leaves, I would look like a total fashionista.

I do have some pretty fabulous new ankle boots, though. Your eyes aren’t fooling you there!
