First Taste of Fall













Sweater: Forever 21; Top: rental c/o Le Tote; Jeans: Paige Denim; Boots: c/o Aeropostale

Today, I had the first chance to truly layer and although the scarf came off a little bit later, I was cozy in a sweater (and still am) wandering around the Pearl with our friends from out of town. Since our weather was on and off thunder and lightning and some misty rain, I slipped on my Aeropostale boots that make me feel instantly boho/slouchy-chic. 

This whole outfit is kind of casual and slouchy in a way that's not really very me. I am much more of a buttoned up and over-dressed kind of person, with the rare very-casual day. I kind of love that chameleon-effect that fashion can have on anyone. This outfit changed my posture, gait, the way I carried myself all day. I felt more laid back and scuffy - adopting a persona attached to my boots and long top. It's fun to play a part for a day and get out of your own skin. 

What clothing items of yours help you transform?

    The F21 sweater is so stunning, especially paired with the lightweight cream scarf. Laidback looks good on ya ;)

    It's pretty much fall and winter entirely that change the way I dress. I become much more buttoned up and dressed up come fall. I adore being dressy and pretty when it's cold outside.

    I totally think clothes can change the way you feel and therefore the way you present yourself to others! =)
    Love your booties!

    It's certainly true that clothes transform our attitude and behavior. When I wear a dress, everything changes.
