Where I wore it: To the office

It's that wonderful time of year, not quite summer anymore, but not yet autumn either. The temperature is all over the place: it was 70 degrees yesterday, 48 degrees this morning, and word is it'll be in the mid-80's come Thursday, so expect to see quite a mash-up of outfits. I'm not quite ready to fully transition my wardrobe, but I didn't pack this dress away with the rest of my cold-weather clothes last season, thinking that I would wear it alone this summer. I was kidding myself of course, leather is warm, but for a breezy day sans tights (I'm so not ready for tights), it was perfect.

I know everyone is talking about fall these days, but why shouldn't they be? Having four distinct seasons keeps things exciting, it gives me something to look forward to, a welcome and tangible change. I'm excited for heavier fabrics, darker colors, and fun layering possibilities. And not sweating my ass off. Because, man this summer was brutal.
