Autumn is coming!





Fall is absolutely my favourite season. I never feel happier than when the leaves are turning colour, when the weather is cool and I can indulge in my pretty cardigans and dresses in a way that I'm not necessarily able to in the summer season. 










As silly as it is, I love to tell stories through the way I dress. When I get dressed, I coordinate around a plot (oftentimes what I'll be doing that specific day, but sometimes not), a mood and a tone. I love to think about how I'll feel in a certain outfit doing things like grocery shopping, sitting on a bus, or walking through campus. I love to feel overwhelmed by my environment. This specific outfit brought me to my campus to sit for hours on a cool, moody day to people watch after getting some life-related work done. The dress is, as I've been told, a late '70s vintage dress with an accordion style skirt and I certainly felt that it suited the moody day I ventured out in.
