Indian Summer

     The weather is still warm here in the Burgh, (Hello, September? Did you not get the memo?! It's football season and you're supposed to be cool!  We want to wear jeans, and boots, and scarves!) so I have been gravitating towards short skirts.  I am not a fan of shorts and find skirts and dresses most comfortable in the summer and warmer temps.  Hopefully the next post will bring some fall fashion.  It's my favorite!

Wore this for a dinner out with the family.  I had jeans on for work during the day and switched to the skirt for the evening.

Skirt: Dolce and Gabbana

T Shirt: Random boutique in SoHo

Blazer: Victoria's Secret catalog (Their suiting is the best!)

Shoes: Aldo

A lace skull?!  I die!  Random is not the name of the boutique; it was literally some hole in the wall place on Broadway that I happened to stop in on my way to Topshop.  This shirt is actually a knock off of one that Urban Outfitters sells.  Mine was $20 cheaper than the Urban version!

Have had this skirt for almost a year and still am trying to make it work.  It is too prissy to wear with a blazer or something dressy, so I am trying to toughen it up a bit with just a burnout t shirt and some boots. 

T shirt: Bar III

Skirt: The Limited

Boots: Steve Madden

 Some more blue and black!  I am drawn to blue more often than not.  Navy in particular!

Shirt and Skirt: Target

Tank: Wal Mart  (best cheap tank tops!)

Shoes: Aldo

Necklace: Francesca's Closet 

Feathers!  Add them to the list with skulls and butterflies!

 The Art Deco period is one of my favorites style and architecture wise.  I saw a street vendor in NYC peddling this bauble for waaaay cheaper than what I paid. Bummer.  Also just saw a picture of one of the littlest Kardashians wearing it.  I try to avoid all things Kardashian, but figured the little ones (who are actually Jenners...poor Bruce...) really can't escape the madness, so I cannot blame them.  And I had mine first...

So this skirt is not exactly short, but will transition nicely into fall!  I actually have two of these as the first one got snagged during my, ahem, after class activities during school this summer!  What?!  Studying on Central Park benches is murder on chiffon!

Skirt: Forever 21

Tank: Bar III

Shrug: Anthropologie
