Fall in NYC! Reading, mandatory career services workshops, mediocre coffee from the law school cafe! What an exciting time to live in such an exciting city (guys, I'm being hyperbolic. I get out. I went to a drag show and Times Square all in one night last week. City living!).

I wore this outfit last week, since the weather was arguably warm enough to get away with not wearing tights (I'm sure you can guess my feelings on tights. It's literally in the name). In an effort to counterbalance the bareness of my legs, I paired the skirt with this jacket that makes me look like a tiny high school football player/his sweetheart. That idea, wearing something that will keep my torso warm since my legs are probably going to be cold, makes absolutely no sense. I was just warm and also cold all day. Anyway, it feels weird that you haven't seen these boots before. I wore them every day for three years in college and in most non-work, autumnal situations in the four years since graduating. My mom's friend gave them to me, but she bought them at Ann Taylor. Take that in.

*Photographer Jackson was pretty insistent I try "posing" (see below). I'm hoping it was a one time thing, but you know how demanding artists can be.
