Every season I try to narrow down my purchases to a handful of colors that will mix and match. My first purchase was a purple cashmere sweater...then a grey pleated skirt. Suddenly my mind went into overdrive and keeps spitting this out at me: "Black. Grey. Purple. Turquoise." Please tell me there is someone else out there as OCD as me when it comes to this...! (Ooh, my fave new purchase is a pair of grey patent peep-toes. The lace up detail is amazing, and they were only $40!)

I love sweaters for fall, but I have a habit of wearing lots of different sweaters with the same black skirt or pants. I always try to narrow down purchases too, but sometimes you just want to revamp your wardrobe for the new season.

I totally do the same thing aly! I have totally worn that exact same palette haha. Recently though, emerald green and bright red has popped into that mix for me, you should try it!
PS: those shoes sound sweet!

I try to add at least one new color, but I agree I use a lot of the same for comfortable colors that I really like.

Well, alyabonfiglio, you must be a genius because your colors are hot this fall :) In the winter I love to use grey as one of my neutrals and this season I'm going to add a purple or turquoise blouse to go with. I'm seeing so much out there that I like this fall!!!

Yeah, as much as I hate fall (it means winter is coming!!) I have felt rather inspired by what I am seeing out there as far as fashion. I feel like the last couple of seasons have left me feeling a bit blah fashion wise and I didn't make too many new purchases. For this fall though, I am finding I wanna buy everything I see!! (okay, not quite, but you get the picture)

So, I had a friends and family coupon for 40% off at the Banana and had to go buy the purple silk blouse I've had my eye on for some time. I also recently bought a teal top at Gap. I am loving those colors for Fall. Now, if I can find my cable to connect my camera to the computer, I can download some photos.....
