wishin' { and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin' }

i always seem to slip into a fashion funk once late august rolls around. at this point, i'm so over all my summer clothes! it's too late in the season to justify buying more, but too soon to start busting out fall goodies. basically, i just want to jump straight to being able to wear thiiiis:

and then stay there for the next six months (at least).

hehe. I totally agree. a Fast Forward to the heart of fall would be fine by me :)

Liv said...

I agree about the August fashion funk... and if even you're susceptible what chance do I have?!
On the other hand the idea of wishing summer away gives me guilty feelings...

I couldn't agree more! I want to move more north so that fall can come sooner!

i agree! fall is my fave dressing season, and as much as i hate to see the summer go, i am soo ready to buy new layering pieces!

Jaclyn said...

Ohhhhhh me too!!!! I am very ready!!! Leopard and Army green seems to be the universal theme for fall! ;)

WORD to the fashion funk. I'm so sick of everything... It's funny that you posted this today, though, because I trotted out my new leopard-print cardi for the AC'ed office and it felt so right. Humidity be damned!

Ginta said...

As a die hard Dries fan - I totally agree I'd love to wear his looks as soon as possible!

Mary @ stylefyles said...

hah, yeah...fall clothes are the best aren't they? It seems like the most versatile season. Sadly, fall in LA takes forever to come around...or at least weather in which fall clothes are appropriate.

oh well! I shouldn't complain when the sun's out!

stop by my blog, I'm hosting a giveaway!

Bri said...

I LOVE fall clothes and shoes, but HATE fall weather!

Today's crummy weather made me realize I seriously need rain boots.

Anyone have any suggestions where I could get cute ones?

Samantha Hutchinson said...

ditto. so over summer clothes. I'll just wear my bikini around here in CA with this heat wave!

So true! [But to those who think moving north will help: sorry to tell you, I'm waaaaay up here in Canadialand and it's still downright tropical. "Hottest summer on record"...]

But we can't let global warming destroy or foreshorten the crisp joy of fall dressing! I say bring out your leopard print...leopard always feels so autumnal...and you always rock it so perfectly.

Agreed!!!! I want to bust out my jacket collection but for the most part it's way too hot to do that =( But the weather was cool due to massive amounts of rain. so I wore a jacket and that perked me up =) Also finding the perfect bit of clothing that is transitional does me a world of good as far as my wardrobe morale is concerned...

HC! said...

i completely understand your frustration with this time of year. in my case it's way to hot to wear anything for fall, but i've already fallen in love with the chunky knits, fur vests, and camel haired coats i've seen everywhere.
