got my mind on fall.

guys. i don't really know why this is happening, but it's almost the end of august (which is still 100% summer), but all i'm craving is fall. oh, actually... i DO know why this is happening... it's called indiana has been so bipolar with the weather this summer! a few weeks ago, we had spells in the 60's during the day and my mind has totally shifted away from summer! it doesn't help that our lame public pools close when school starts (which was two weeks ago... don't even get me started on how lame that is!). so, in the spirit of me wanting to light my fav leaves candle, cozy up with a warm caramel latte and light a fire... here's some fall inspiration! from none other than my trusty pinterest... obviously!

it prob goes without saying that i am a lover of color! so, naturally, i am stuper stoked that this fall and winter will not be full of maroon, brown and black! color is in, baby!! and i fully plan on rocking pink and turquoise pants all winter long!

do you remember when puffer vests were in? like back in the day?? i had a black one in high school that i wore all. the. time. i know that lots of people jumped on the puffer vest wagon awhile ago, but i just wasn't convinced! until i saw this outfit and want to rush out today and buy one! i love how it's paired w a sweater and flats and totally chic without trying too hard!

there are a lot of fashion faux pas in my book and at the top of that list is definitely leggings worn as jeans. it's just wrong. always has been! i don't care if they have pockets to make them look like jeans... they are still leggings and, therefore, should be worn with a dress or not at all. anyways... i like this look a lot (aside from the leggings). i have seen lots of black skinny jeans that could make this look super acceptable, too!

i love this 'girl next door' kind of vibe this outfit protrudes. it's feminine, yet not trying to be dressed to the nines. it's flirty, but still completely modest and comfortable. button up shirts are a busty girls worst enemy, so i don't own a single one, but i would love this look if i did! ha!

later this week, i may be back on the summer train since it has been in the 90's all week, but until then... fall, i can't wait for you to sweep me off my feet!
