Glossy Research

I'm kicking off this fashion interlude with some bits I've pulled from my style archives. The kind of research that involves my sitting down at eleven o'clock last night, flipping through all the clippings I've collected for outfit inspiration. It's interesting, because, as I studied each page, I knew exactly what I'd loved about it and exactly why I'd saved the look for future reference. And, last night, I found that I still adored the ensembles I'd adored months and years ago!

The following images represent some of my autumn sensibilities. These channel my favorite silhouettes, colors, and patterns, as well as several looks I'm hoping to try come fall. Please note, I do not have a scanner, so the image quality may be below par. Click on each for a clearer sense of what I'm proposing.
