Fall Fever

The weather here in Ohio has been extremely bipolar, meaning it's about to become very very VERY cold. Since this week is probably one of the last "nice" ones for a while I enjoyed it with some layering! The sheer tights provided enough extra warmth so I could still wear this pleated, leather skirt by Vera Wang. And the skirt is thick enough that I was able to wear it in heavy wind without it being much of a problem. 

I received this necklace as a gift from my mom from Avon. The heart actually opens up and there's a cream perfume inside. It's super convenient to reapply throughout the day. Liquid perfumes often irritate my wrists and neck, so this cream based perfume is the perfect alternative and it's easy to apply in areas that won't get irritated.

Do you ever spend half your day thinking about the exact outfit you are going to wear later? (Because I totally do!) Well today I was in an all black ensemble kind of mood (Honestly when am I not in that mood? Ha) I had a particular black maxi dress in mind, but of course when I went to get ready it was no where to be found! Isn't that the worst? Fortunately, my quick improvisation was still photo-worthy. 

It's my favorite time of year here in Ohio now where layering is everything. Time to break out all my leggings and tights! This particular pair of leggings I wore today are surprisingly from Walmart from when Miley Cyrus had a line there years ago. (It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but hey they were a good price, still fit, and have a cool reflective quality to them!) 

I then paired my leggings with this sheer black top from Hot Topic. I love that the stand out feature of this piece is on the back, a spine! It's eye catching and possibly a bit disturbing to some? But I'm obsessed! And when I went to school, I made sure to carry a large purse instead of a book bag to make sure the back could be seen.

Finally, I'm wearing my favorite sneakers, the studded HOMG by Jeffrey Campbell. With the "flatform" they provide me with a small height boost, but are still comfy enough to walk all over campus in.
