slowly transitioning my wardrobe from summer to fall and this is the result: layers, the introduction of boots and adding socks to everything, meanwhile still clinging onto shorter hemlines (and summer). i'm hoping to get in one last swim at the pool, but with #mspfw in full swing, not sure i'll get that chance. oh and just so you know, the 'fro is only temporary - i kept it in for a full week. slightly amazing, slightly gross considering how long i went without washing my hair on top of wearing this flannel every day this past week. i'm so appealing, aren't i? :)

Socks, Sandals + Flannels.

i think everyone pretty much knows that uniqlo has the best basics. picked up this super soft flannel + 2 purr of cozy socks for a winter that may not come considering the weather we're having right now (crossing fingers).

according to anna wintour, the combination of socks + sandals were one of the worst things ever created (only second after kim kardashian), but quite frankly - i like this pairing. though, i couldn't have picked a worse day to wear a cozy flannel and knit socks, sweating my makeup off in here. fashion over function (or common sense) any day though. #keepittrill
