So since the temperatures are still not cooperating, I’m just going to dress in fall colors and pretend I live in New England where I’m sure the weather is crisp and the fall nostalgia that comes along with September and November is in the air.

To be honest, I always felt like I would do well as a New Englander, maybe it’s just because of the amazing fall weather that I hear so much about, or all of these basement shows I missed out as a teenager (ya know, because it would have been amazing to see Brand New in their heyday).

But alas, I’m a born and raised West coast girl (Southwest if we’re getting specific) and basement shows and cool weather are few and far between here (well, at least until winter comes with regards to weather, and we do have The Nile Basement back in action nowadays).

My sweet sponsor Lulu’s sent me this pretty zig zag top. The heavy material makes it perfect for layering in fall and winter, but with the never ending heat spell we are having, it was perfect to wear with a cami and my Seychelle booties that I have been waiting all summer to wear. Did I mention the colors in the top just scream fall to me? Remember what I said about dressing the fall part? Well, here is my first attempt!
