I have developed a new obsession.
Fall Fashion.
No. Really. I’m totally serious. I am that shallow and superficial.
This weekend alone I purchased three pairs of tights and yet another pair of menswear inspired shoes. I also tried on eight sweater dresses, five cardigans and one trench coat.
This may be a good time to remind you that I live in Florida. And also am clearly crazy.
Do you know who wears tights in Florida in October? Crazy people. Do you know why? Because it is damn near 90 degrees in October in Florida. With humidity. Florida doesn’t understand the meaning of the terms Fall or Fall Fashion.
But! Purple tights! So cute! And totally In right now!
*sigh*
I am never going to survive this fucking photo shoot.

Well, you are the style editor for a fancy web magazine.

It’s like here in England everyone’s “I will wear these damn shorts/mini skirt/tea dress, even though it’s cold enough to turn my legs blue.”
You can’t hold fashion back with a bit of adverse weather.

That was one of the ONLY things I liked about living in Memphis. We had a fall. I got to wear really cute fall outfits.
And Purple??? Why is purple in this year??!! I look like a rabid eggplant in any color of purple!
Oh…. but you look great!

Now THOSE are purple tights! I like ‘em though!

Just drink heavily and put on some teen-pop-slut music while you’re getting photographed. You’ll feel MUCH better.
Love the shoes and the tights. The whole thing works for me.

you are certifiable, but never has crazy looked so darn cute! (and HOT. and HAWT).

Very cool. Except they don’t look purple to me. They look more towards a magenta color. Hmmmm…
The shoes? They remind of shoes I wore as a kid (this will age me for sure). they were called “saddle shoes” and we wore them with Bobby Sox.
Yeah. I’m THAT old.

5 bucks says those things are off by noon.

I love tights. I can’t wait for cold weather.

Purple tights, yea, yea, whatever. The more important thing is that there are leaves in the bottom of the swimming pool!

I’m so jealous. I can never pull off tights, although I love the textured ones. Also, I virtually never wear skirts to work although I should rectify that.
Damn you! We should go shopping. I definitely need the help, haha.

I love those shoes!!!!!!
And the purple tights. They match my newly purple hair.
You are going to rock the photo shoot. Heh.

Is that a bathtub over next to the fence?? Maybe you can put a statue of the Virgin Mary in it and make it look really classy!! I do like the purple though. It somehow reminds me of Prince….

I totally had a dream last night that my friend was asking to borrow a pair of purple tights. This has nothing to do with anything, but still.

Oooooo love the shoes I want a pair but it’s almost winter in Wisconsin and they wouldn’t get me through the 30 feet of snow. BUT I would look cute
Reply
I really don’t carry off purple well. I’ll stick with a purse or shoes. Actually, I think I could do the tights.
Anyway, YOU look fabulous. And those shoes are some of the cutest of the menswear trend right now, for sure. Some of the menswear shoes are fugly ugly.

Hm.
Great pose – both times! Good looking model!
But not my taste of colour/fashion.
Sorry.
But do go for the photo shoot!
(Are there fishes in the pool?)

Damn, girl! You are hot! I saw some purple-swirly tights at Macy’s that have my name written all over them. Might have to invest…
Reply
I absolutely adore the tights on your.
On me … I will show you a very embarrassing photo when you visit. That’s all I’ll say.
Reply
*And by “on your.” I of course meant to be completely cryptic.
Actually, I meant you.

I thought you looked wicked cute today. I was rocking the Teacher Chic.
Thank you so much for today. Just what I needed.

You look fabulous, sharp and professional. Love it!

Ok, I have NEVER gotten or understood, or been anywhere near comprehending “fashion.”
The shoes are cute… but those tights… My mind does NOT get how they “go” with anything else you’re wearing. And you are CUTE! And everything else you are wearing is CUTE! But… It reminds me of when toddlers dress themselves and stuff doesn’t go together. *ducks*
That is really in right now? Goodness.
I suppose I will, once again, NOT be appearing in fashion. lol
Reply
Think of it this way, if you wear tights you don’t have to shave your legs to often!!
Love the shoes!
Reply
That’s sooo not what I mean and you know it
LOL.
Your legs do not look short and stubby or squat or anything else
Reply
God you look so skinny!!! What the hell? I am jealous.

Don’t know about fall fashion, (I do know Florida though, grew up there) Also know a nice set of gams when I see ‘em. Very nice! Enjoy your high fashion adventure!
