Recent Purchase: Banana Republic Jacquard Skirt

And it's official. I've begun checking off my fall wish list. First on the list is an embellished pencil skirt and I found this Banana Republic one on eBay:

I'm excited to pair this with a slouchy tan sweater:

J.Crew, Cashmere V-neck cardigan, $168

And raspberry tights:

Hue, Rhubarb Super Opaque Tights, $12.50

And these shoes:

Tahari, Shasta Leather Platform Pump, $79.95

Disclaimer: The shoes hurt. A lot. But I constantly get compliments on them from both men and women, which slightly offsets the pain.
