Hello Pum-To my- Kin!

I LOVE Fall! You know why? BEcause I love sweaters, and vests, and scarfs, and tights, and jackets. Its not so cold that I'm miserable, but chilly enough that I can cuddle into layers. LOVE IT! So needless to say I've been so excited to where all my sweaters and things. Still keeping up with the 60's love if you can't tell from my shorts in this photo shoot and my reindeer sweater. Both I bought at Forever 21, which when I walked in seemed to be in the same mood as the rest of the fashion world this season and have everything sixtiefied.(I just made that word up!)

Again, I guess my look makes me out to be a sixties glamor prep school attendant, but I freaking LOVE it! If only I had dressed like this in all those awkward years of high school .

Tell the Leaves, and I'll consider

I know I know, on my end I haven't been updating that much. But that will all change now!

So first of all, its NOVEMBER already. Which is one of my busiest months, getting ready for the next semester, nanowrimo, tests, papers, and filling out applications for all the junk I plan on doing after graduation (this spring baby!) Despite how busy I am, I still find the time to dress nice and show a little flavor for the fall. This is the complete opposite from semesters in the past where I would be so busy and tired I would just go to class in simple sweats and T-shirts.

But I digress. This fall my theme is 60's fabulous. With all the 60's influence present on Project Runway this year, my new found obsession with Xmen First Class (set in the 60's) and my heavy influx of 60's music I've been gravitating towards more 60 clothes. You can see it in my outfit of choice here, the poodle sweater, my ruffles, and off course my giant glasses.

I also really like the fact that I felt like some rich school prepster. Full outfit pictures down below! Enjoy!

Come Back as Fire

Let's talk about closets today!

I am a firm believer in Organized Clutter! This means that you know where everything is, but no one else may understand your methods-and-ways at first glance. My closet is something that needs to stay fresh. I like to keep things organized, in my own clever way. I have things grouped by what they are...dresses, long sleeves, tanks, jeans, purses, underthings, etc... I used to make sure everything was color coated, but I do not have the time to be so meticulous anymore. Although, I still make sure to use non-wire hangers, it keeps clothes less limp.

I have recently invested in organizational things. I got some under-the-bed storage systems to put all my crafty things in. I bought a purse holder that hangs in your closet. I also have a belt hook that hangs up and a rack of shoe cubbyholes that hang up. There are hooks on my wall for my jewelry. At the back of my closet, I have a sash that holds my headbands and sunglasses! It looks cute and has easy access to what I need, when I need it. I am constantly cleansing things that I don't need.

I don't want to become a hoarder or so dependent on material things, but I do take pride in making sure I look my best everyday. It helps to keep your space, room, and clothes clean. I do love the smell and warmth of laundry!

I'm very serious when it comes to clothes. Growing up with an older sister there was always a fight over "borrowing" clothes. We would catch each other wearing each others clothes and then Bitch-it out over the justifications of stealing or borrowing or asking to wear each other pieces.
Now-a-days, I'm more lenient with letting people wear my things, but I want them to ask, not take. It's all about the R-E-S-P-E-C-T, for others, yourself, and your things!
