Ah, fall.  Among other things, you mean the rebirth of sleeves.  True, the first outfit doesn't even have any (and the forest snapped here is more of a thicket).  But the message of the long sleeves that dominate the rest of this post is as clear as long johns on a clothesline: winter is coming.  So, bundle up -- but make it fashion!  Not that I think that Tyra Banks thinks that haute couture can be caught at Kohl's, which is, as per usual, where I got most of these clothes.  But consumer scores are in the eye of the beholder.  And I, as you know, behold polyester.  It's no wonder, then, that there are three poly tops here bearing the brand of a certain francophone magazine.  So let's all yell for ELLE, shall we?  The clothing line, that is, not the Legally Blonde character.  What the hell; let's yell for her -- and her little dog -- too.

By the way, this post has a nice new make instead of just golden oldies.  In case you can't spot it, it's the humdinger of a Happy Hummingbird Barrette Brooch!  For consistency's sake, let's call him Humbert.  Like Engelbert Humperdinck -- but not.  Because the outdated pop culture references from Game of Thrones and America's Next Top Model weren't enough, and the best and worst things come in threes.

On that note, I think I'll make like Mr. H and fly away someplace warm.  

Dragon style.

Humbert the Happy Hummingbird is soooo cute! Your hair looks so fun with the accessories in it paired with the floral ensemble. The black/red floral top with the plaid skirt looks awesome with that pop of red and yellow! Teal and hot pink are a combination I didn't realize looks so amazing together! (Your ponytail with the cluster of accessories is GORGEOUS!) Lastly, the blue and purple is another stunning combination and I love how the tights perfectly match your pretty handbag. I love the color combinations you come up with !

I love to see all these colours specially during such dark times. I've just realised I was not a follower of your blog so you got a new follower now. :) Have a great day
