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.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish myself a happy birthday! Feel free to follow suit. There’s not much exciting about turning 28, especially when your birthday falls on a Tuesday. Luckily, a dozen of my wonderful friends celebrated with me on Sunday, which is when I wore this outfit. We started off with an epic champagne brunch, so naturally I wore a shirt with fruit all over it. If there was ever a shirt that said “I came to get my brunch on,” then this is it.

Brunch was followed by shopping, more cocktails, and then a movie. Not everyone’s idea of a fun day, but it’s definitely mine! You have to do what I want because it’s my birthday, dammit. And I came to get my brunch on.
