This is what I wore Saturday for the Macy’s 5 Fall Essentials show, and then out for dinner and patio music-listening later. If it were up to me (and let’s face it – most things should be up to me), leather accents would have been on the list of 5 essentials for fall. How about I just make it the unofficial #6? OK great. Done and done.

Seriously, I’ve been missing leather all summer. It just adds the perfect touch of badass. Not that I need it, obviously. Few things are more badass than a mint green quilted bag and a necklace with giant flowers on it. I think after I graduate and pass the bar, I’m going to get business cards made that say “Badass Lawyer” under my name. But the cards will also have a faux leather paneling on them…just to make sure the point gets across.

You’ve probably noticed a lack of fancy designer duds on this here lil blog. That’s because law students make approximately negative $1000 a minute. I guess if I wanted to I could take what little money I have, not buy any other clothes for 2 months, and save it up to buy 1 expensive thing. But the chances of me not buying clothes for 2 months are about the same as the chances of Miley Cyrus becoming a nun. Or of me becoming a nun, for that matter.

Still, I’m a regular Vogue reader and Shopbop peruser. I mean, a girl can admire beautiful things from afar, right? Among the beautiful things I’ve admired recently are these zillion-dollar studded Valentino flats. So you can see why I was excited to find the much cheaper shoes I’m wearing today that have a similar look.

I’m not sure if there will ever be a day when I drop $800 on a pair of shoes, but let’s just say that day’s not today. And I’m OK with that.
