Today was now or later for Anthro's Pick A Bunch Cardi. Is there a rule against wearing a Fall outfit in early Spring? Katharine Hepburn said...
"If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun."
So True. This is one fun Cardigan. I couldn't wait for Fall to enjoy it. Truth is I'm not looking forward to Spring and Summer Fashion. Or the Bakersfield Heat. I actually hurried Summer off last year in this POST.
BTW, I layered Anthro's Molded and Melded Tee under the Pick A Bunch.

My plan last Fall was to unite Anthro's Gold corduroy Neisden Skirt with the Pick A Bunch Cardi. Even the best laid plans fall through. I went with an alternate by Athleta.

Another Rule Breaking Quote...
Excuse #2 - It's possible I may not be around next Fall. As I was getting ready for work this morning, a news flash declared the End of the World to be May 21st 2011. The date has been changed from Dec 12, 2012. Which is the end of the Mayan calendar.

I belted over top the Pick A Bunch with Anthro's High Gloss Belt in Yellow, and draped myself with Anthro's Limoncello Necklace . These were my attempt to distract you from my folly by throwing in Bright Spring Color. But I know I could never fool you guys. You can't miss the obvious.

And for my final Rule Breaking Quote...
"It never hurts to have a good excuse to break the rules," by GeoInCalifornia.
Excuse #1 - I recently managed to snag this Cardi on eBay. I missed my chance in the early AM when it hit sale. I was sleeping. Why I didn't try a store search is beyond me. I was busy dreaming and plotting my Spring wardrobe. I waffled back and forth before biting the bullet on eBay.

I actually took the belt off, untucked the Tee shirt, and liked this outfit more.
Say farewell to this outfit. You won't be seeing this again until Fall. Or possibly never...

Are you a rule breaker? Have you broken a Seasonal Outfit Rule? Not that you need one, but did you have an excuse? Ha-ha!

Anyway, I like your fall look even though it's spring. Then again, I'm a major rule breaker. Perhaps we should start a club. :)

I am totally NOT a rule breaker, just a big ol' stick in the mud. When it comes to fashion, I am way late on to try new trends, typically, and rarely blur my summer clothes with my winter. Yawn, right?
GeoInCalifornia 99p · 727 weeks ago
No Katie! No yawn from me! Unique! Thank goodness we don't all use the exact same rules and dress alike. There would be no blogs from which to beg, borrow, or steal great ideas.

I remember the Pick a Bunch cardigan well, and like your autumnal styling. The cordoruy skirt adds some fantastic texture, especially in contrast to the smooth glossiness of the belt. And the cutouts in your Everybody's are fantastic! Really allow you to show off your tights!
I keep looking at all my floral attire (you know I have a lot), but have to remind myself that I'll have all summer to wear it. So I have been trying to wear more of my darker colors and heavier fabrics while I still can.
GeoInCalifornia 99p · 727 weeks ago
I say go forward as planned. Hopefully those that studied the Good Book have it wrong.
Bakersfield has reached a few 80 F days. Today is just over 70 F. So I haven't got goo many cool days left.
Of course, if the above prediction is true, we will never hit Summer. Tee-hee!

I really like this skirt on you. I like how it fits lower on your waist - it looks very nice. Awesome accessories, as usual:)

Someone did a rule breaker not long ago. Participants dressed for Spring in Winter. I remember JG participated with several feet of snow on the ground.

I'm pretty sure I break all kinds of seasonal fashion rules, especially when it comes to shoes. I'm always one of the first to wear sandals and peep toes for the season, and I've even worn flip flops in the snow!!!
GeoInCalifornia 99p · 727 weeks ago
I have one pair of Flip Flops on my back patio in case I need to chase a cat from the yard into the house. My son wears them all year round.

I always have trouble with tights between seasons - don't want to give them up when it gets warmer and don't want to break them out when it gets cold. And I've been afraid to break out my yellow field skirt nowadays because isn't corduroy considered a cold weather fabric? Maybe I should get over myself!
GeoInCalifornia 99p · 727 weeks ago
Oops! I broke the Corduroy Rule too. If I don't wear tights I feel self conscious about my old lady legs. And I get cold. Although I did read neutral tights are OK. But they look hideous.
