Gearing up for Fall

Since summer, I've given myself wholly over to my fashion obsessions. Being somewhat of an intellectual, I have tried to hide it over the years. But alas, game's up.

So perhaps this is my way of moving into adulthood by acquiring the accoutrements. I'm not sure. I do know that I'm pretty unsatisfied with my trickle-down style.

So I've edited my wardrobe, sold bags of things to Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads, and given even more to Goodwill. I'm almost ready to slowly invest in good, last-forever pieces. But right now, I'm still in my "research phase." This blog is my attempt to sort things out.

You might not know that from the list of things I've bought this weekend. But these armloads of fun, trifling items will serve the purpose for now: to outfit me for work, and to have fun.
