cityscape.

drape sweater: moda, dress: sparkle & fade, shoes: jessica simpson, earrings: indian, belt: vintage

so...i'm confused. the weather has me dripping sweat one minute and then freezing the next. truth be told, i find fall perfectly strange. oh well, i kind of like it because it keeps things interesting. i decided to wear this long sweater because it's so cozy and fantastic - i've literally had it for years and i always find myself coming back to it!

this weekend should be fun - i'm going to all sorts of fun events for a music festival in nashville called soundland. let me know if any of you are going to be there!
