Can I just say that I love, love, love the vintage feel of this outfit?  Something about it made me stand a little taller (something other than the 4 inch heels!) and walk a little straighter.  Outfits like these are what I look forward to the most each fall…

Unfortunately, the weather has crept up to over 80 degrees the past few days.  And I’m wearing a sundress and sandals as I type this post. Ha!

Over the summer, I had my style appraised by The Bumbys.  Who are The Bumby’s?  Well, they’re an anonymous guy and gal duo who offer “Fair and Honest Appraisals of Your Appearance”.  Sound a little strange?  Well, it kinda was… but also a lot of fun.  You can check out more about them here and here.

I took these photos while having my favorite kind of Saturday.  We woke up late and set out for brunch at one of our favorite restaurants.  Then we just spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the city, browsing a few shops and galleries.  Since we were hanging out downtown, I tried to look the part in a tough (for me at least, ha!) leather jacket and sassy ankle boots.

Speaking of ankle boots, I bought these during the summer and have been patiently waiting for a chance to wear them.  Ankle boots can sometimes be tricky with skirt and dresses. But these are pretty sleek, and I like how the little dip in the front keeps my legs from looking stubby. I love them so much, that I may have to get another pair in black!
