Essence of Autumn

My first outfit post is part of Kristy of Vogue Gone Rogue's The Essence of Autumn contest. I was planning on being all well-prepared and what not and do this weeks ahead of time, but of course the delinquent in me twisted this and finagled that (I am actually just crap at planning) so that naturally I just met the deadline much like the term papers I squeezed under college profs doors back in the day. Autumn brings out the academic in me naturally so let's just say it was a piece of performance art. Aren't you impressed?

Autumn is a bewitching season, and stands apart from the others. In spring, summer and winter you can find the broad analogies of the three ages of men: the innocence and struggles of childhood, the intoxicating freedom of youth, and the slowing maturity of experience. Autumn stands apart because she shakes us loose with hauntings of memory. It is feverish with dreams. Even here in a region without seasons, Autumn is still here; the ghosts are in the scents.
