all of this talk about the chilly weather at outside lands over the weekend got me thinking about the fact that it is now officially august, and i have to accept that the days are getting shorter and we are slowly transitioning into the fall. it’s back-to-school season and even though i’m no longer a student, i still sometimes feel that little nostalgic ache remembering those trips to the store for freshly sharpened pencils and fragrant packs of crayons. as i got older, i graduated to graphing calculators and laptop computers, but it was always fun to gear up for the school season no matter how hard it might have been to say goodbye to summer.
pair that with a healthy dose of crazy cat lady kitsch and you’ve arrived at my slightly off-kilter outfit inspiration for the coming season!
