Fall Wish List!

It’s that time! Time to fantasize about things I’d like to buy while it’s still early enough in the season that there’s a semi-realistic possibility I’ll actually obtain these items!

The weather was still fairly balmy (for November, anyway), so I took the opportunity  to wear the All Saints...
