The worst part of being in depths of Summer heat, is that right now I'm ready to start thinking Fall. I'm always ready to bust out some kind of boots by August and the Anniversary Sale isn't helping with that. My Fall closet is staring me in the face and the most I can do is play dress up at home.

One of my favorite prints for the last year, even in the Summer, is buffalo plaid. Red and white, black and white and navy and white plaid combinations feel especially Summery to me.

I always love plaid in the fall, so when I found this skirt while thrifting a while back I was instantly drawn to it. It isn't traditional by any means, but the fresh and bold print is exciting to me, and I decided it was worth taking a risk on.

I'm breaking my own rule today, and I can because it is my birthday! I'm wearing a skirt and it's not for Sunday Style.

I have gone to church my whole life and at our church, for the most part, we still wear skirts and dresses. It's not a rule, but most women do it, and I like it. I like dressing up once a week, and having somewhere to wear thrifting gems like this great skirt.
