I Love Autumn

The street I grew up on back in Oregon is absolutely breathtaking in the Fall. I got super lucky and with the late summer Portland had, I actually caught the leaves as they were bright yellow and orange at the beginning of my week stay, and half bare by the end of it. I decided it would be the perfect backdrop for some outfit photos. I bought these leather shorts at Topshop in London. The second I said "leather shorts" to friends and family I think they were really concerned for me, but I think after seeing them styled they are now leather short believers! What do you think? Are you a fan of leather shorts? What's your go-to Autumn outfit?

  24. I never thought I'd say this, but I really like the leather shorts! They look great! I love your whole outfit!!

    I've never heard of TopShop, so I don't think there is one near where I live, but I'd definitely like to see what kind of stuff they have there!

    So glad you had a nice visit when you were home! Hope you have a great day!
