After the slightest hint of rain, I was grateful to be able to enjoy a spectacular sunset on Friday evening. Although I was less than enthusiastic about turning the clocks back this weekend, the extra hour of sleep was much appreciated. Chillier temperatures gave me the chance to break out one of my favorite cozy faux fur coats, a leopard print standby of mine for the past three years. Now that it's starting to feel like fall, it's time for me to dig out the rest of my winter coats, knit hats, scarves, and fingerless gloves, since I relish any opportunity to layer and accessorize.

These trompe l'oeil tights may be the closest I come to wearing over-the-knee socks. After spending half an hour sorting through my collection of tights, I realized that this style is sorely underrepresented in my dresser, and I'm currently on the hunt for more suspender/garter tights. I can certainly appreciate the look of an over-the-knee sock without the unwanted bulk.

P.S. To see exclusive photos and more scenery from my personal style posts, please have a look at my Tumblr.
