integrity, fall . . .

& floral flannel 

happy october lovelies  

As the fall weather begins to heighten, my excitement pours over. Not only is fall the perfect temperature weather but the fall fashion, for every style always intrigues and entices my eye. The one season where comfort is rarely sacrificed for style.

-- I have a thing for florals, black, faded nostalgic colors, deep fall reds and knee high socks, red lipstick, black jeans .... a few of the necessities I have in my life, all perfect for this fall.

This past sunday,  as I watched all the little girls and boys running off, playing dress up in their little sunday school outfits.... 

& while they played dress up, I played dress down. 

 Broke out my 90s vintage floral flannel,  and my favorite faded cut off jean shorts. 

Both,  favorite purchases I made this past spring at Goodwill.  

Hands down one of favorite stores... 

always cheap, always somewhat vintage and always alterable.

With school beginning again, I have found the need to re-organize my life but more importantly, my closet. Shedding the less used clothing, making room for the new apparel that I am all too eager to wear as well as purchase. 

First day back in class I broke out my dr marten velvet black creepers, a shoe I have dearly missed during my past few months abroad. bless that reunion. 

If there is one thing I miss dearly about the living in the north, it's the fall. It seems to ease right in as soon as the school year begins... giving reason for shopping splurges, finding new items to add to your cold weather apparel. 

-Or the perfect weather for fall jackets, tights and all other fall accessories that, for obvious reasons,  just don't seem to be as popular in the south. Quite frankly, I could use some good city weather, filled with other fall fashion and weather hungry souls who often flock to the urban environment in order to satisfy their unoriginal yet all to common and guilty desire to be in the top of the socialite and fashion world. 

But lets face the reality, not even half of the people who have this dream, have enough hunger to make it happen. the ones who do, are a part of that world because they never let that hunger or their passion, whatever that may be, die or become less important throughout the entire journey. 

So on that note, with school in session and a slow fall rolling in, I'll end with this, invest in some shoes you'll love to wear  and others will kill to have during this fall, for whatever type of weather resides in your hood. 

P . S .  ...don't forget, 

 ... feed the hunger kids. ✌
