This week I watched several lovely ladies play fall fashion week. I was tempted to join in but felt desperately busy and un-cute all week. So today after work, I put together a fun fall outfit and roped a certain boy into helping me take advantage of the beautiful afternoon light. (A very, very patient boy who waited while I took approximately twenty minutes to decide between scarves.)
Sleeveless dress: from Old Navy, given to me by my parents for Easter when I was probably thirteen.
Ribbed brown tights: picked up at Shopko, about three years ago.
Nose ring: a near-constant accessory, acquired last December. 
Long scarf: a gift from one of my aunts.
Yellow cardigan: Ann Taylor Loft, a gift from my sister-in-law Melanie on her and my brother’s last visit.
Cowgirl boots: a loan/gift (we’re still not sure which) from my dear friend Natalie.
I guess the lesson to be learned from this outfit is that if I didn’t have generous friends and family I wouldn’t have any nice clothes.
In closing, here’s a photo in which I’m actually smiling, and in which you can see the rest of Gil’s contribution to our fall fashion photoshoot. I think he looks quite good, but have no idea where any of his clothes came from, so I can’t fill you in. I think his shoes are Adidas.
(Side note: part of the reason for my busy-ness is this epic project of Gutenberg’s. It is going down this coming weekend, Gil and I are both performing in it, and if you are in town and want to come you should buy tickets right away.)

Oh yay! I was meaning to tell you all last night that you looked fabulous. I loved the whole look and thought about fashion week and asking you if you’d seen our fashion silliness. So glad you’re participating today, and hope you at least post again today!

Thanks, ladies. I would love to do another week but doubt very much that I will find the time. But Sarah, you should keep going anyway!

Lovely pictures
But it has to be said that the last one of you and Gil, well at first it looked like he had his shoes on the wrong feet
