This is more difficult than it should probably be, because I feel guilty throwing anything away, even if it's stained or ripped or I haven't worn it for years. (Am I a secret hoarder?) I made my roommate sit with me while I purged; anything I spent more than a few seconds deciding over, she'd yell, "Get rid of it!" This is the same girl who stayed up three extra hours to eat my raspberry cheesecake bars. I reiterate: she is a good friend.
Now that everything has been neatly (approximation) sorted into piles of keep, throw out, and give away, I can start SHOPPING again! Wait, no, that's wrong! That's what caused this problem in the first place! You can't just replace all the stuff you got rid of with new stuff. But, but, there are so many cute fall things!
Ugh, go home, inner monologue. You're drunk.
For better or for worse, here are some things I'm lusting over this fall!
This polka-dot sweater from Boden USA. So classic. And precious.
Or this "Bien Fait" sweatshirt from Madewell. The literal translation of "bien fait"? Well made. The more figurative translation that Frenchies actually use has more of a "good job, dumbass," connotation. French sarcasm is always in style.
Speaking of Madewell, I'm obsessed with this outfit from their fall lookbook. The Fair Isle sweater with the patterned scarf?! The cuffed jeans? I can even get behind the fedora in this particular circumstance. (Usually my only exception for fedora wear is Justin Timberlake.)
Anyone who knows me also knows that this shirt is not just up my alley, it pretty much IS my alley. I love prints, I love botanical drawings, I love toadstools, and I love mint green. Basically, I will die if I don't own this blouse from Anthropologie at some point.
What are you most excited for fall? Boot bonanza? Socks on socks on socks? The perfect pair of loafers? Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest, where I will be sharing all my little hopes and dreams for fall food and fashion. Yikes, alliteration. Cool it.
