This past weekend, Kyle and I headed up to the beachy town of Newport, Rhode Island. For those of you unfamiliar with New England, no thats not sarcasm. Newport is actually known for its gorgeous beaches and mega mansion summer homes once belonging to the Vanderbilts and other very rich, very tiny (as their furniture would suggest) white people.
And now, its known for my incredibly chic faux leather leggings and grey twist cardigan, thankyouverymuch.
A couple months ago, I decided my fall wardrobe would be sorely incomplete without a pair of leather leggings, although when I realized the real thing would cost me an arm AND a leg (ZING!), I quickly switched my hunt to the faux variety. These Blank Denim leggings come in under $100, are sickeningly comfortable, and have ankle zippers so, ya know, your ankles can breathe...? 
Because Rhode Island, unlike D.C., was not built on a swamp, its actually quite cool there right now. You might even say its "fall," and so it was the perfect excuse to break out my favorite surprise back cardigan.
Less weather appropriate were my shoes, but as I only bought them at the end of the season, I have to get my fill of exposed toes while I still can. So what if I got a mild case of frostbite? So. What.
 I topped the whole thing off with my REAL leather GiGi New York All in One clutch and called it "macaroni!"
That was a Yankee Doodle reference, did you get it?? I dunno what it has to do with anything, although we did have pasta the night before and it was fawesome, you guys. Uggggggghhh, pasta why are you so delicious???, she said as she brushed her hair out of her face:
Woooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone else bought a pair of (faux) leather leggings this fall? Is it actually even weather appropriate to wear them where you live yet? How are you wearing them??
