Wearing: F21 white tee (similar here), F21 sweater vest (similar here), J.Crew Stretch Twill Minnie Pant, H&M scarf (other scarf I love), Ann Taylor Leonie Flats
Okay, so it's not exactly a complete fall weather outfit... but it's definitely a SoCal version. Although it was sprinkling outside here and there, it still wasn't cold enough for a full sweater and boots kind of day. Instead, I opted to wear my beloved Minnie's. I wear a regular size 0 as I purchased the pants in the store without knowing that they came in petite lengths. I guess it worked out because they fall right above my ankles and this length works fine with flats or heels (PAG's mentioned that the petite pants were kind of an awkward length, so I will be checking out her review to see the comparison!). I've had the sweater vest for years already and have actually never even worn it! I can't seem to pull off the vest + button up combo that looks so cute on plenty of girls, so I would always put on the vest and then chicken out of wearing it each time. Love this more casual way of wearing it much better as it's definitely more my style. I finished off this kind of dark outfit with my new Ann Taylor flats (love the muted gold suede) and my pretty new H&M polka dot scarf! I found it while roaming around the mall this weekend and like that it's a good alternative to the pashmina scarves that I always get caught in snags and such. I heart H&M and their super duper cheap and cute scarves!

| My weakness for polka dots wins again! Love the sheer and super soft quality of this scarf and will be wearing it a ton! |
On a side note--and this might be TMI--I'm not sure if you guys can see, but I have a mad rash across my chin. :( Leave it to me to use expired sunblock... AGAIN. During the hot, hot days of last week, I grabbed my practically unused Clinique Sheer Tint, not thinking twice about when I even bought it. I didn't make it past 10AM before the itching and burning started up (it still itches like crazy as I type this entry!). Now I'm left with a nasty patch of painful rashes that's comparable to actually getting a sunburn! How sadly ironic. Anywhoiee, just wanted to share this story so no one else does something as foolish as this. Let's just say I went through all my products and finally tossed out a bunch of other, probably not so good ones.
Boo hoo, cold weather and a dry and itchy face. When it rains, it pours! LOL. Besides having to deal with LA drivers who freak out at the sight of rain, I actually think the rain is kind of refreshing. It makes me miss those days of trudging through the rain to class back in the good old days at Berkeley. Hope everyone is bundling up and keeping warm.
