what i wore: a touch of fall

happy wednesday! now, please don't hate me when i say this but i am so sad summer is gone. i love fall, i really do but i just feel like i didn't get enough of summer. maybe it is because we only went on two camping trips and that i didn't visit the lake enough but i am just not ready for the chill and to put tights on however much i love them. so instead of giving in to the cold the other day i opted for a sweater and socks.
my sassy, no fall come in a few months, face.
i love this picture, maybe because i finally love my nose!
i really love this outfit, however crazy it may be. its chuck full of pattern; stripes, polka dots and horses. for me, it works and i will be wearing this outfit many more times but probably with boots and knees high socks once it gets colder.
details:
sweater: uo
dress: target
belt: from another dress
socks: thrifted
shoes: target
these socks are my favorite. i bought them at the thrift store a while ago and since then i have only worn them once. wanna know why? there is a sock thieve in our house and his name is tom! can you believe this guy! i mean, i bought them for myself and he has been wearing them almost once a week. he says it is just one of those things that we just have to share. fine but dude, let me wear them once in a while. plus i look waaay cuter in them ;)

    I recently bought a similar pair of shoes, but don't yet have any cute socks to go with them. Now I really want a pair with horses on them haha.

  10. I agree, so not ready for fall yet! At least not the freezing winds and rain that we have been having here lately. I am still hoping for an Indian summer... Love the blue and yellow together and your nose is definitely a great one!

  21. I hear ya on summer love! If I didn't live in the PHX heat I wouldn't be wishing for fall at all. I'm a total summer girl, unless summer means 114 degree days and 95 degree nights :)
