look book: plaid and leather

October 1, 2012

I’ve been desperately looking for a brown {faux} leather skirt to wear for fall and when I found this one I had to get it. The pleats are the perfect girly touch and I can’t wait to wear it with fall colors, like burgundy, mustard, and olive. Oh, and tights! We're not there yet, LA!

Happy October everyone! I can hardly believe a new month is here. To think that Halloween is less than a month away, and then the holidays are right around the corner, is insane. It’s my favorite time of year though, so I’m planning on enjoying it to the fullest. Matthew and I are already planning our 4th Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest {photos from last year here}!  I’m taking this full month to pick the perfect pumpkin, plan and execute the spookiest design, and win over the judges! Matthew is going down!

  2. This outfit is so cute!! Love the plaid vest - I bet it's awesome with leggings, too. :) And how adorable are your pumpkin photos? I can't wait for that either.

    Wish it felt a little more like fall in SoCal. Sigh.
