. . . make lemonade.  Or, more seasonally speaking, lemonade apple cider.  If that's even a thing.  But there's the beer-lemonade hybrid shandy, so why not?  All of this is an elaborate build-up to state a simple truth: I still have unworn lemon-print stuff left over from summer.  So I styled it with fall favorites such as plaid, boots, . . . and my new Granny Smith Slice and Cornucopia Barrette Brooches.  Because nothing says harvest like obnoxiously large accessories -- or a kilt garnished with gourds.  

It's what the Pilgrims would've wanted.  And by Pilgrims I mean the insidious yet elegant lantern fly:

At least that invasive species knows how to make a fashion statement.

Cute outfits but I'm focusing on the shoes and boots which are outrageous. I love the yellow shoes with the red stockings, the brown and white shoe with the heal and rounded toe, and the yellow and white tie shoe. So old fashioned looking. I am always attracted to hearts and love the heart necklace and bracelet.

I am always so impressed by your ability to put things together. You look fabulous! I had no idea that Iris Apfel had a product line. Thanks for the heads up. I need top check that out.

I love that you're rocking your lemon looks!!! They make for a fabulous statement in your outfits. Your tights are an awesome accessory for autumn - my favorite are the teal ones with the white and brown shoes! The fruit and pretzel accessories make for an unexpected pop of quirk. The accessories really make the outfits (especially the big heart necklace and stacked barrettes!), and those yellow shoes with the black floral socks are adorable! Plaid, boots...those are definitely fall statements. :) And wow, I have never seen a lantern fly before! Awesome photo!
