Let your tail hang out...

...AND BY THAT I MEAN YOUR SHIRT TAILS. 

Im kind of obsessed right now with stealing my boyfriend's oversized (and thrifted!) plaids and flannels and wearing them under sweaters with jeans and boots. 

Maybe it's because comfy shirts and pullovers just scream fall. Here in Michigan, there can't POSSIBLY be a more beautiful season; it's sunny, crisp, and wonderfully autumnal right now.

These pictures were taken this afternoon at Duncan Woods in Grand Haven, where it was a lovely, sunny seventy degrees. It was honestly SO beautiful that enjoying it is somewhat bittersweet because I know this glorious, interim harvest weather is only the precursor to...well, I'm not even going to speak it right now. 

LONG LIVE FALL!

Outfit details: All thrifted with the exception of the boots, which were clearance items 
from last winter! :)









This outfit post came at the right time...I needed a little respite from my recent (albeit enjoyable) "vintage bonanza!" However I'll see you tomorrow for one final prep post leading into Saturday's "Lumber Baron's Ball: 1950's Style!"

Yellow Beret

YELLOW BERET 

This fun vintage Montgomery Ward dress was worn in an outfit post last winter!

Combined with the mustard beret, cable knit tights and scarf, and fall boots, it felt like the perfect fall ensemble for this morning. It was crisp in Duncan woods where I was taking pictures around 9 a.m., but the chipmunks were all busy and the sun was peeking through the pines. The weather was definitely that wonderful, perfect coolness that fall offers...with a mellow warmth kicking in as the sun rises. Oh, if only this weather would last forever in Michigan...

Dress, scarf, beret and jewelry all thrifted for a total of about $8. Boots ("Rhonda") and tights were a new purchase last year. 

JUST FOR KICKS: Yellow beret image search results. 

Have fun! Go play in the leaves today! ;)
