Yearning for fall

Despite the fact that it is supposed to reach 100 degrees in Los Angeles by Monday, I am still holding out hope that Fall is right around the corner! Fall is my favorite season of all!! I love the weather, but more importantly I love the fashion. I adore sweaters, boots, scarves; the whole nine yards! Yesterday I found a pretty awesome leather skirt and I just had to share it with you. I was only able to wear this look for approximately 20 minutes before I was sweating from every pore. Thus, why I can't wait for the weather too cool off so I can wear it out!! (notice in some of the pictures I've ditched my jacket and opted for a straight cami shot). I guess when they say no white after Labor Day they should finish with "No leather before Halloween." :D This look ran me about $58.00
