welcome to fall 2010...

It's been a while since I've had a fistfight with my closet. In the last few weeks, however, it would not be uncommon to find me flat and defeated on the floor of my closet, surrounded in 4 year old dresses that can no longer be reinvented. Exhausting, frustrating, and takes a far worse toll on my mood than I care to admit.

So, as a promise to my happy self, I am dedicating a fair amount of my next paycheck to bring me into 2010. I know there are more important things - groceries, financial independence, fish food - but I've been putting this task off long enough and it's time to take it on full force.

But, now that I've made up my mind, I realized I have no direction. Style, it's been too long since we've sat down for coffee and strategized.

So with some advice from the much respected "No Fear, These Are My Clothes" Natalie Slyman, I'm scouring fall lookbooks for some inspiration. Although it's just August, I'm preparing for fall. I feel its useless to dwell on summer when I so rarely treat myself to any new... new things.

I came across the blog Copenhagen Street Style this morning, and my pending search is now that much more desirable. Here are some photos I'm excited to (attempt to) recreate.
