Necking

If it weren't for fall I might have moved somewhere warm and sunny a long time ago. But no - I LOVE FALL. Fashion-wise, it's perfect. I love crazy layering and cozy bundling and tons of greyand black. But the best part is definitely insane collars and getting creative with scarves. I've been drooling everywhere over the fall '11 looks from Anne Demeulemeester, Comme des Garcons, Haider Ackermann, and Rick Owens. These labels are decidedly darker and more avant garde than what I've gone for in the past (in my dreams), but I sense that their pieces could withstand the test of time better than those from other collections.

I would love to invest in just a few pieces every season that I would wear over and over again, but right now I just can't justify the price. Which brings me back to scarves. There is no more sensible way to elevate an outfit than through the use of fabric around one's neck...
