This is an outfit from late August (time travel, yay), but you can already see fall writ large all over it. Full disclosure: it was probably too cold for shorts that day, but I was deep in my denial. And, look here – I’m only 9 months late to the orchid trend, but I’m committed. Actually, I just have a mania about matching. Can you spot all the colour pairs in this outfit? (Hint: there are 3.)

And, guys, sorry about the hair. Some days, when you’re at home with kidlets, this counts as effort. I kinda miss those days.

Aaaand … I’m officially all out of post titles. I guess I could have called this one “Head to Toe Old Navy”, because it is. Except for the belt … which is Gap. Same difference.

You will remember that I reviewed this dress last month, and was lukewarmish on the price. I had every intention of not getting it … and then the Labour Day sales rolled around, and this dress ended up being a one-day special. $12, you guys. I caved. Listen, I’ve yielded to worse temptations in my day.

Sometimes, I just don’t have any good post title ideas. Sorry. On the plus side, I really like this outfit – it fulfills my yearning to match all the things. Also, that blue. I’m seriously smitten with it. Does anyone know what it’s called?

Also kinda smitten with this cuff. It’s half boho, half deco, 100% awesome.

And this shirt ain’t so bad, either. It’s way big, but it cost $5 and I can’t leave a good cheap paisley behind. Tucked in, with the sleeves rolled up, the bagginess is not immediately evident. Works for me!
