Feeling collegiate today

Ivory/camel cardigan: J.Crew, fall 2011
Yellow silk "Elizabeth" cami:  J.Crew Factory, 2008
Sunnie pencil skirt:  J.Crew Factory, fall 2011
Velvet bow mary janes by Miss Albright:  Anthropologie, fall 2011

I felt very collegiate in this outfit today.  Sadly my college years are long, long gone but I can still appreciate this preppy, scholarly look.  The crisp fall air felt perfect in this sweater, which I nabbed last year for something ridiculous like $21.00 because no one else liked the angora blend.  I must have skin made of steel because rarely will a sweater make me itch too much. 

I missed out on the original version of the sunnie pencil skirt in 2010.  It disappeared almost immediately, sold out never to be seen again.  I was so happy when the Factory came out with an identical version last year.  I LOVE when J.Crew Factory does that, and wish it would bring back some more old favorites.

Hope you're having a great Monday!  Thanks for visiting!

    Great fall outfit! I'm still transitioning into fall myself, reluctant to let go of those terrific bright colors of summer!

    BTW, I gave you some 'green jean love' on my blog...

    Such pretty colors for fall! I'm not ready for fall weather quite yet, but it is fun to see others getting dressed for it.

      Our weather here is pretty up and down. It will be chilly enough for a fall outfit one day, then back up to the upper 70's the next!

    I love that sweater! I guess it is fairly collegiate now that I see it, but I didn't get that idea when I saw it online originally :) Love how you paired it with yellow.
