Is it Fall Yet?

I think this outfit is clearly crying out for my desire for it to be September, already.

Dress: LOFT sz 0 (old, got on sale, similar, though pricier, here) / Sweater: boutique, sz sm ($20.00) / Shoes: White House Black Market sz 7.5 (old) / Belt: Bought in England

The weather two days ago was all grey and cloudy and cool in the morning (my favorite, seriously), so I decided to pretend it was fall while still keeping cool for the inevitable 20+ degree rise that would occur in the middle of the day.

The dress is actually made of cotton (though it really feels like an unfinished sort of silk) so despite the dark color, it's great for summer. And, perhaps even more importantly, it has pockets! The cardigan too, is quite thin, perfect for summer, even though the color makes
me think of fall.

This hereby marks the first time I've ever done the belt-outside-of-cardigan look. I think I can pull it off...? Sure, why not! I did have to take the belt off shortly after lunch, though, not gonna lie. Breathing became more important to me than fashion. I hate it when that happens.
