It's the last day of Summer but frankly, Fall arrived last week!  People are bundled up in the morning on their way to work, needlessly to say, sleeves are now a necessity.  My hopes of an Indian summer are pretty much over, there's almost a 0% chance that we'll have another 'heatwave.'  From here on out, it's Fall weather in full effect!  Time to bid Summer farewell, and this cream bow skirt from Forever 21?  It's the last of my Spring/Summer purchases that finally made it to Bravoe Runway!

  1. You look fantastic - I love that blouse and the skirt with the bow is adorable. I'm still hoping for some warm weather over here in the next month or two, though it has been on the cool side this past week. We finally have sun as opposed to fog, though, and that makes me so happy :)

  5. You are looking very very beautiful, classy,chic...words are not enough to describe your look at this moment. I am loving this look so much because I have a weakness for ruffles and bows and the color black ! This look is so feminine yet modern and you look great ! I adore the top.
    I would love to wear an outfit like this anytime and I know I will feel happy wearing it !
    have a lovely day !

  7. OMG BESSIE.......you are the sexiest in that ruffled top, & that skirt is so lovely. I cant believe that skirt & top are F21, they look expensive, but then maybe because it's you who's wearing it!

  13. No, keep the skirt out for fall! You could wear it with a sweater and tights with boots. It's too cute to tuck away until next summer :)

  18. I love this outfit Bessie! The details on your blouse and skirt are fabulous! We're making a slow transition to fall weather in NYC. It's been in low 70's this week and just gorgeous.

    I wanted those H&M pants but I really didn't like how they were capri length on me.

  20. I love this outfit. I think this has now become my favourite of yours. You look fabulous from head to toe Bessie. Great location for the photos too, my congratulations to your mum the photographer, she's been doing an amazing job. Wish we lived closer so she could teach me a few photography tricks ^^ Hugs and kisses for both ♥

  21. I love the skirt and the top Bessie, the way your hair is done is incredible too. I'm with noire, this is my favourite look of the month and perhaps of all time too, hopefully it gets the plaudits it deserves. I'm going to miss all of these Summer looks, great idea.

  23. such a great outfit. I wore a sleeveless top yesterday but it was under a sweater.

    ReplyDelete

  24. I have a skirt that looks EXACTLY the same from The Limited, which is kinda crappy, because I probably paid a lot more for it than this F21 version! I love how you styled it with the ruffle top, so cute! I'm going to have to give my skirt another go now since it looks so darling on you!

    ReplyDelete

  25. I like the cute bow detail on the front of the skirt--very unexpected. And yes, today is the last day of summer...looking forward to sweater weather.

  28. That skirt is so cute! It is definitely "Indian Summer" here in DC, with temps in the 70s and up into the mid-80s. It has been getting cooler at night, though, so it's time to bust out the fall jackets. Have a great weekend!

  29. You look great!!! Love your outfit and Chanel purse. :)
