South of France, day 2, and apparently I packed with one eye on September. (above), chocolate brown, (below), a little more shirt than necessary over a bikini—plus enough to keep things firmly in August. My pre-trip research, by the way, was considerably more focused on what to wear (thank you, /those cute and that !) than where to eat and shop. Because here, the latter tends to work itself out. Which leaves me free to focus on the important stuff: figuring out exactly how much fall I can sneak into summer without ruining either one. Starting with this plaid blouse, the wood-beaded skirt (below), the button down, this (sandals now, and chunky turtleneck later), and this beaded (debuting tonight).
