PRO FALL FASHUN TIP: take an outfit you wore during a 90-degree summer day in New York City, nix the formerly appropriate sandals, throw in some loafers and a faux shearling vest, and be on your merry way.
Because that's exactly what I did yesterday, and it worked out swimmingly. For awhile I deliberated about how much longer I could conceivably get away with wearing my perfect white summer blouse once summer had officially ceased, but as of now I've decided that it is, in fact, the perfect year round blouse. Surprise, children! So provided that the combination of its admittedly thin fabric plus chilling winter breezes does not result in a case of navel frostbite, I will continue to wear it.
And if you are interested in my mental processes when putting together this ensemble, I will distill them for you in two words: Isabel Marant. Nah mean? I feel, personally, that the pairing of an airy blouse with a studded miniskirt and shearling vest is very her. Should I tranquilize myself already?
Anyways, while the resulting look is not particularly ZOMG or UNIQUE or BLOGWORTHY(#youbethejudge), it is what I wore, and I'm trying to keep my real live sartorial choices authentically available to your beautiful eyeballs on this blog because that's presumably why you're here to chill.
P.S. PRO ADULTHOOD FASHION TIP: don't decide to stand on top of some substantially spaced garden chairs whilst wearing a wraparound skirt with a slit, only for realization of the potential fallout of said choice to dawn moments later after it's already too late. Just a pearl from me to you. Happy Halloween!
