Fashion Friday

This post actually came about while I was doing my Wednesday Winks and I noticed nearly every link I marked was about fashion!  With the start of school fast approaching, I suppose it is time for a post on fall fashion (even though in sunny California it doesn't really become fall until Halloween).

I'm a bit schizophrenic when it comes to fashion, always trying to walk a fine line between unexpected bohemian and classic minimalism.  As opposed to summer - where I'm wearing the thinnest pants possible and resisting the urge to strip in public - the cool weather offers more opportunity to layer (read: more fashion choices), and more chances to experiment with color and texture.  Good thing, cause there are a lot of exciting new fall lines out (Hello Brochu Walker and Orla Kiely!).
