Autumn is here again, so I think it’s time for another autumn picture post!

I always get very excited about autumn clothes. This year I’m all about college girl fashions of the 40s and 50s, especially since I recently watched Mona Lisa Smile which I can highly recommend for all its wonderful early 50s collegiate clothes.
