The fact that it is August really boggles my mind.
I’ve always heard that as you get older time really flies by and I feel that
each year keeps passing more and more quickly.

I will say that even though I am loving these long days and fun summer weekends, 
I really cannot wait for Fall.
Autumn in DC is by far my favorite time of year.
It is an oven for about 3 months, a freezer for about 4 months, and then sheer 
Fall perfection for about 2 months.
Your hectic summer schedule starts to slow down, the temperatures
are still warm but not overwhelming and you can really wear anything
without sweating your butt off or being too cold.

In Fall, you can basically win at life.

I’ve realized that I love a fun printed bottom then normally mix and match my plethora 
of jackets and tops for different outfit combinations that work for any occasion.  
This is your first snap of this awesome skirt from Banana Republic 
(I know I will be wearing it a ton this Fall).  
The fun black, white, and nude print makes it easy to match with so much in my closet.  
I decided that it would be easy to dress this skirt up for a date night or make it work appropriate, 
but styling it in a way that was a great casual fall look was a little bit more of a challenge.

I threw my slip-on sneakers for a very casual vibe and to make this outfit really 
perfect for any last minute barbecue or brewery hopping.

I added the brooch because I have become oddly obsessed with them 
recently and Banana Republic has been killing the brooch game 
(I mean if there was brooch game to kill at...)
