fall?

it's autumn finally, my favorite time of year...BUT here in arlington, va--where it's usually gorgeous with crisp weather and scarves and hot clouds of breath it's 60 dang degrees! sure, i'm from so cal and i'm definitely used to warm winter months, but this isn't so cal! where's my east coast cold? ah well. the leaves are reds and yellows and the vacuum trucks are making their rounds, and the nights are dropped down in the 40s and 30s, even, so it's definitely getting there. i guess i'm just spoiled :) what else is new!

one thing i can't get enough of in autumn is plaid. plaid scarves, plaid lining in your favorite jacket, plaid caps, plaid socks and, of course, plaid shirts. i have about five, which if you can believe it is a pared down amount. i would probably do plaid all year if i could get away with it. in particular i'm loving these repurposed men's plaid shirts by poeticjusticeforall on Etsy. sure, she has tons of different designs, but it's the plaid and flannel versions that are really kicking-my-butt adorable. all the ease of your boyfriend's comfy button down, with super-cute feminine details.




all different sizes, too, including a huge plus size selection--all for $19.00 each! such a killer deal. if i were you, i would snatch a couple up for the season (before i buy them all, i mean.)
