Soooooooooo have I mentioned I love autumn? Because I do.

I ripped the latest J Crew catalog apart and put up some elements of the outfits I’d in no way will ever pay full price for as inspiration:

The colors! The layering! The accessories! Um, want.

So Ben and I went to Goodwill (can I just take a second to boast that I love that my boyfriend loves going with me to these stores? Ahem. Anyway.) and I really tried to focus on getting good pieces that could recreate J Crew looks. I am pretty pumped to be wearing my finds mixed in with some oldies:

The colors! The layering! The accessories! I am pretty much a badass.

I also scored this amazing necklace from a local vintage/junk shop for thirteen. dollars.

I used to only wear silver growing up but lately I have been on a gold kick. Sooo that means you should join the club if you haven’t already.

Other ways to join the I Love Autumn and I Am Really Cool Club:

$79, Banana Republic

$228, J Crew

Okay, now let’s be realistic.

$24.90, Forever 21

It’s kind of sexy ugly, don’t you think, in a “won’t you be my neighbor” kind of way?
