Magic Leaves or Attacking Leaves?

Another rainy day in Michigan today.  Only perk was wearing my rain boots.  They have fish on them and they make me smile!  This week has been crazy hectic.  I basically don't get a chance to breathe between Monday and Thursday.  Right now I'm MAKING myself breathe and pause from homework for a cup of tea and an outfit posting.

My backyard doesn't have any bright red or orange trees, it's mostly just brown.  So this is my best fall leaf shot so far.  I need to go stand in someone else's yard with their pretty trees.  Who's that weird girl taking pictures of herself in our yard?  Oh, that's just me.  Don't worry about it.

The above two pictures make me laugh.  The left one looks like I'm conducting magic with the leaves and the right one looks like the leaves are attacking me.  Hehe.  Leaf photo idea failure I guess!

And then I accepted the fact that it was actually too cold to be without a jacket:

dress: H&M (SO COMFY!!)

trench coat: Delia's ca. '06

leg warmers: vintage/my mother's

boots: Civico 10

bag: Delia's

scarf: Wet Seal

Now I'm off to finish my cup of tea (green tea in particular, yum!), finish reading assigned chapters in my Typography textbook, and continue reading The Love Of A Good Woman by Alice Munro for my Women in Literature class.  I must chop chop!  Time is a ticking.
