This isn't exactly the outfit I had in mind but I forgot to grab my purple sweater before leaving the house and was stuck using one of my mom's to get a similar effect. It's okay but my sweater was a darker shade with a few hints of black.  Still, I like that it's time to start layering with light sweater. Plus, we're getting into the weather where it's okay to wear booties with a skirt or shorts! It only lasts for a couple weeks and some people think it looks dumb, but I love it! I also love this jungle print skirt by Carven. I don't wear it nearly as much as I should.

It has been QUITE a while since I've owned a pair of corduroy pants. I think I had one pair back in college but I only wore them twice before getting rid of them. They just weren't my thing. But back on Labor Day weekend these skinny cords from Abercrombie caught my eye. I loved the dusty blue color and the slight frayed hem.  Speaking of Abecrombie, did you see their latest lookbook?! Gorgeous. So looks like both cords and Abercrombie are making a comeback.

You'll notice one difference in this weeks throwback outfit. I've got some new shades on! These are the third pair I'm trying with Ditto's Endless Eyewear program. I decided to go with these navy Karen Walker 'Starburst' sunglasses because their dramatic shape looked fun!  Use code CLOSETFASHIONENDLESSDITTO for your first month free!

The Original:

Temperatures are beginning to cool down again so I took the chance to wear jeans with my fun crop top from Greece! It's probably time to retire these jeans soon but I just can't seem to pull the trigger. So they come out every few months for a day in the sun!

Fact: I'm obsessed with rings. As I'm sure you've noticed, I ALWAYS have rings on my fingers. I just load 'em on like Phoebe in Friends. I'm always on the hunt for new silver rings to add to my collection.  My latest find is a Larimar Bliss Stone ring. Larimar is a turquoise gemstone that can only be found in the Dominican Republic.

Many of you will also know I'm also a collector of large gemstones and their meanings (see some of them on Instagram: here, here, here) I don't fully believe in the powers stones have, but I do find that I'm drawn to certain stones and when I find out what they represent it's very fitting to my personality. Larimar is thought to have healing properties and assist with communication. For a SUPER shy person who's learning to come out of her shell more and more, this is a perfect stone.

For this post I let the ring speak for itself but soon it will be added to my plethora of daily rings. For that very reason I got larger than my usual size so I could wear it on a finger that doesn't already have a designated ring. Ha ha!
