1. Cloches. Yeah, so these are pretty much all the rage for fall, and maybe they're already so far in that they're out. I don't care, I love them and I have one. It is a black felt Liz Claiborne (RIP) thing with a bow and a little brim on the front. Sadly, it will still be a couple months until it is cool enough out to wear it. Until then, I will just admire these pictures for inspiration:
2. Old Navy. Although their summery stuff is definitely more on the hit-or-miss end of the spectrum, I can always count on Old Navy to deliver the goods when it comes to winter.
This tweed jumper would be perfect over a solid color tee, although you might need to employ some of your higher heels and a pair of textured tights to make it look a little less grade school. $29.50.
Ruffly scoop-neck tee in a highly rockable shade of purple. I think it would look excellent with some wide legged jeans and black patent kicks. $10.
3. Sweater dresses. These are my winter equivalent of the summer jersey dress. For those days when I just can't be bothered to make an effort, I have a stockpile of sweater dresses that I can pull on with my trusty red Chuck Taylors, a headband, and a long sleeve tee on top so that I end up looking reasonably put-together (read: not homeless).
J. Crew is like sweater dress headquarters. Unfortunately, since their prices have been inflating to private-school-kid standards, I can't shop there very much. But I can still look, right? From top: $175, $118, $160 (Gak!).
Yeah, so that's all I got for now. I was going to wax enthusiastic about flannel, but before I can do that I need to put up pictures of the schoolbag I made (It is yellow and gray flannel with a Nintendo 64 patch and a patch I got in Amsterdam. It's awesome, if I do say so myself, which I do). So I'll do that... sometime? I know all of you utterly devoted fans are just dying to see what I'll be hauling around my French textbook in this year, I know. I can see it in your eyes.

I have no idea why J. Crew is so expensive nowadays. Sure it's nice stuff, but there is no way that sweater dress is worth more than $100! It might be worth $50 on a good day, but never $100!
I *love* cloches. I've had a few favorited on Etsy a couple of times but they keep selling out.
That purple Old Navy top is the best color.
The sweater dresses are lovely!!! Too bad they're so pricey.
And yes, I really, really, really want to see your bag!
That's a first for me..I actually love that Old Navy top.
Viva les sweaterdresses! May they never die.
Love that jumper from Old Navy! I bet it would look great with your cloche, too.

Best part of school....the clothes :)...all of this stuff is adorable btw...
Love the purple top with the ruffles it's so sweet.
Old Navy is fanatastical. They have fair-isle sweaters that are so Scottish-cool-aspirational (yes,it's a word) they nearly make me cry.
Nice sweater dresses..I love that purple colour top very much..it looks fabulous.Good post.
