A Real Fall Day

(Ethical pieces on a rainy day.)

A front blew through last Friday night, and we woke up to rain and much cooler temperatures on Saturday. I started the morning off in shorts and a tee, and eventually switched to this warmer outfit to run errands and eat lunch with Ryan.  This was the first time I wore my new Malala Shirt from Passion Lilie and I love how casually chic it is.  The pattern is great for fall, and while I probably could have ordered a smaller size, I like the tunic style with jeans. I’m also planning to wear it belted with a long skirt.  For interest, I added the Jalia Ombre Necklace by Noonday and it works so well with this top. To keep my feet warm and dry, I wore my trusty Garbo flats purchased in the spring.

(The necklace works perfectly with this pretty print.)

It was beginning to rain while Ryan took these pictures, and my blouse got a little wet.  I actually felt chilly enough for a cardigan, and I’ve realized that my two favorites from last year are wearing thin with holes. I’m on the hunt for a comfy piece with vintage style, but the temperature is rising again this week, so I don’t need it just yet. But it was so refreshing to experience a real fall day, even if it only lasted for a few hours.
