A Few More Fall Things

by Rachael in Images, Links, What to Wear

https://archive.org/stream/monticola1970west#page/28/mode/2up

I like fall. A lot. Here are a few pieces of fall clothing so I can hold on to the season I love a little bit longer. These clothes remind me of fall, but can carry over to winter months, too. Because love means never having to give up fall clothes - even in winter.

(L - R) Jean Jacket, White Button-Down, Brown Skirt, Brown Leather Booties, Black Socks; Red Scarf, White Tee, Jeans, Tan Boots; Gray Sweater, Black Jeans, Light Brown Booties

L: Bead Necklace, Clutch, Black Booties, Black Hose, Black Bag, Burgundy Booties, Chain Necklace, Black Leather Skirt

Top R: Felt Flower Pin, Gold Coat, White Scarf, Blue Sweater, Tan Bag, Brown Boots

Bottom R: Dark Brown Bag, Black Boots, Purple Sweater, Drop Earrings, Leaf Bracelet, Mary Janes

background photos: 1970 WVU Monticola (The year Love Story came out. Woodburn Circle isn't Harvard Yard, but still pretty picturesque.)

They have those posters that say "Always be yourself, Unless you can be a unicorn, Then always be a unicorn". I think always dress the way you feel, dress comfortably, dress how you want. . . unless you can dress like Ali MacGraw, then always dress like Ali MacGraw.
