Let's fall for Fall, shall we?

We shall! In all seriousness, as much as I FREAKING LOVE the concept of back-to-school shopping (or for most people, back-to-oh wait, nothing's really changing for me except the weather shopping), I have a really difficult time thinking about fall trends, "it" colors, and the purse that you simply must have, or you'll cease to be a fashionable creature.

Of course, I buy all of the fall fashion rags. But for the most part, I'm finding that I have a hard time following their tried-and-true trend stories. What if I don't want to look like a dandy schoolboy OR a sexy secretary? What if I want to look like Rosie the Riveter? Or Mae West? That's why I think it's more helpful (at least for me) to focus on general pictures that get me all excited (and yes, 1/2 of them are pornographic) rather than a concrete item like harem pants. My main exception for this is with jewelry. Because I'm like an angry toddler when I see a great ring/amazing earrings, and I'm all "FUCK THEMES! I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT."

So, because I bet you're all super curious as to what's inspiring my fall wardrobe*, check back in either 10 minutes or tomorrow--depending on how on top of things I am--for some pictures and stuff!


*I feel the need to clarify something about a "fall wardrobe" here. By no means am I the kind of person who is able to--or feels comfortable--buying an entirely new wardrobe for the season. I mean that I'll be taking an inventory of my current (slightly shrunken, thanks to moving) closet, and then start thrifting to beat the band. Because babygirl's gotta stay on a budget! There's no point in buying knee-high cognac boots if you can't afford to go anywhere in them.
