This post should be titled: Why I don't take pictures inside.  Bad lighting, small hallway full of boots.  Award winning material here.

Anyways, so sorry about that awful hallway photo, I took my outside pictures so fast I didn't get a chance to show off the outfit under the layers of coats and I ended up trying to snap a fast picture.  Just ignore the line of boots and all that.   For once the fast pictures weren't due to the weather, but a creepy dude.  Actually, it seems like that happens fairly often.  We must have a monopoly on creepy guys up here.

 I've had only two items on my fall shopping list, a plaid blazer with elbow patches and a cute pair of booties.  I've always loved elbow patches on blazers but I've missed out over the past couple years when they were super cool and on everything.  All I can say is yay for thrift stores!  I found this one at the thrift store a week ago for only $3 during the Salvation Army half off sale.   The booties I've been searching for quite a while as well, I don't have long, gorgeous glams so booties can look both awkward and sausage inspired on me.  The key thing I was looking for was a wider opening at the top of the booties, but it's taken the past year for me to finally find a great pair.   I was pretty thrilled to find this pair on a huge sale and now I'm set for the winter.  

At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
