We often associate the back-to-school season with autumn. I still remember the illustrated calendars we had in elementary school; September was the month of new books, pencils, and apples. But most of September is actually in the summer– especially here in Pasadena. Heading back to school (or work), for most of us, really means cutting short the season designed for lounging in the sun. No wonder we cope by looking forward to all the things that fall has to offer.
Outfit #5: Missoni shirt + Ann Taylor skirt + ivory necklace
I’m continuing with some more outfit posts for my take on Project 333. Wardrobe minimalism, as I’ve noted in other posts, is extremely difficult! Still, I’m glad to have selected a mixture of bold pieces and muted pieces. Earth tones are great for blending in— people don’t often remember them or notice when we wear them often. But bold tones bring happiness and energy to an outfit— and are thus worth remembering.
So here’s my summer-to-fall outfit for those who are lucky enough to be back in school this month, and for those of us who wish we could be full-time students again. Just because I’m not hearing the hourly bells anymore doesn’t mean I plan to stop learning! Happy back-to-school everyone!
