New York Fashion Week couldn't come at an unsexier time of the year. It's still hot here on the east coast and everyone is just sick of the heat and how it ruins anything where you have to be in a crowd of hot sweaty people. You're caught between seasons which really throws a wrench into your outfit creating because you don't know which season to go for. Should you prolong that summertime feeling and look like you're going to Coachella in last seasons clothes (barf!), or go for it and risk Visible Butt Sweat in fall clothing while schmoozing with the fashion elite (I bet Anne Wintour hates people with VBS). I'm at the point in my wardrobe where I'm just ready for fall to get here already. I've poked holes in all of my thin summer shirts, I've gotten weird stains on all of my shorts, my flip-flops and sandals all have dirty feet outlines in them; it's time for new stuff. 

I think they should push NY Fashion Week back a few weeks. Just have it in October! We're all ready for new stuff and nothing makes someone who's life revolves around keeping up with the trends life suck more than wearing your summer deodorant-stained $150 t-shirt at a show reminding you you're already behind the times! So this outfit is a bit early in it's makeup, but would be great if they had Fashion Week at a reasonable time... LIKE OCTOBER!

Fall Is Coming... by elbonner featuring leather tote handbags

Fall is on its way here in the northern hemisphere and there's literally nothing we can do about it. Global warming hasn't annihilated our seasons into one fiery, death-scorching summer (though it has tried) so we still have discernable seasons in my neck of the woods. I used to  HATE fall fashions because: 1. They were a lot of the times brown and colorless. 2. All the prints looked like curtains my parents had in the seventies. 3. Everything would just look like an Abercrombie & Fitch/ Tommy Hilfiger catalog:plaid, hoodies, stuff that looked like football jerseys. It was a sad state of affairs. Luckily, in recent years fall and winter fashions have perked up a bit and left the unhappiness and decay to the plants and trees. I don't know why it took them so long to include bright cobalt blues, tangerines, fuchsias and mustard yellows back into the fall palette, but it has done wonders for fall clothing lines and my winter depression. The geniuses at our favorite brands have finally decided to add some color and fun prints to make having Seasonal Affective Disorder a little easier. This outfit above is something I could find myself reluctantly looking forward to in the coming months. Clockwise from the right:
