I tried my best to commit to “Secondhand September” (not buying any new clothes for the whole month), but I broke down around the 29th and ordered these boots because…I mean…come on. I’m always saying that my ideal personal style is “Parisian badass,” and these boots are from a Parisian company, and they’re pretty badass. These boots might be the key to pulling my whole wardrobe together, and I couldn’t risk them selling out. I would have been so désolée. Hope you like them because you’ll be seeing them a lot this fall and winter and for many falls and winters to come!

Don’t you love it when you find something in your closet that you forgot you had? That’s what happened today with this necklace. It was hiding behind some big chunky things, poor little guy. I don’t even remember where I got it, but I like that it’s simple, yet still makes a statement. What kind of statement? I’m not exactly sure. Probably something like, “Hello. I am a necklace.” I don’t think jewelry is especially eloquent.

Anyway, about this little dress. As far as I can tell, it is a dress…which someone younger and with nicer legs might wear on its own. But I – being a professional student in my late twenties who hasn’t worked out in a while – always wear something under and/or over it.  In the summer, I’ve worn it with a crew neck t-shirt underneath, but for October this leggings and cardigan combo is working out quite nicely.
