Hello Fall...
I am definitely a Summer girl. I always have been, and I think that I always will be. However, Fall is a close second when it comes to favorite seasons. I love the idea of falling leaves and cooler temperatures (especially when you live in a place as hot as Charleston) and pumpkins and Halloween and football. I think the best thing about Fall is the new Fall wardrobe!
Since I was in middle and high school, I always looked forward to the end of summertime and getting new school clothes. I can remember looking in Seventeen and YM with my friends and thinking how cool it would be to have all of those outfits. Back then, the biggest treat was getting to leave Greenville to go shopping in Raleigh at Crabtree. And it didn’t hurt that my birthday was right around this time, so I definitely loaded up on some good stuff.
Fast forward to today. There’s no shopping for new school clothes, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t splurge a little this time of year to some new threads. Here’s what I have my eye on this season…
Diaphonus Tunic in Lilac, Anthropologie:
I envision wearing this with pretty much any kind of jeans…dark, distressed, gray, and possibly a pair of boots (which I have not yet found). Based on the reviews, I’m thinking that I’ll probably need to wear a cami under it, but that’s fine.
Nine West Rocha pump in Black, Piperlime.com
Pretty much just your basic black pump. The only pair of black heels that I have hurt my feet terribly, so I’m updating to a new version.
Raleigh Summer Trees Track T, Ahpeele’s shop on etsy.com:
Super soft, vintage-looking T that pays homage to home. Can’t wait to wear this on the weekends :)
As far as accessories go, I was able to pick up a couple of cute things at Forever 21 when I was last in Raleigh: a bib necklace made of black leather and gold detailing (which I couldn’t find on their website) and a black elastic headband adorned with black beading. I am really liking the idea of pairing some really girly pieces with something a little edgier this season, like tall boots and ripped up jeans.
