Or are they?

It’s not going to come as a shock to anyone that I’m not a summer time girly. I simply *cannot* stop myself from griping when I step out into 86 degree heat and a million percent humidity. I won’t stand for it any longer!

Happy Fall everyone. I’ve decided it’s fall, and I’m freeing us from these shackles.

Now that it’s my favorite season, I figured I would share today’s weather appropriate fit – remember when blogs were used for musings and inspo and not just as a sales tool? We’re throwing it back there today.

I’ve loved a navy as late, but I don’t own much of the color. I knew I needed to find a navy top when I stumbled upon these vintage navy and gingham trousers. The navy in the pattern is dark enough that I can definitely do a black with it as well, but I wanted to match it more exactly.

I wound up finding the button down at Banana Republic Factory (because Factory only because I am far too thrifty for regular Banana Repulic!). I love that BRF has a petites line and basically everything is on sale always.

I am pretty sure the main reason I’ve avoided navy in the past is I’ve found it hard to match with a shoe – but I have great news. I am 30 now and care far less if anyone has a problem with my shoe choices! Also I have decided brown matches anything so brown it is. I’ve had these Madewell loafers since 2018 and they’ve held up wonderfully. They also click when I walk, which is a huge bonus.
