Skippy Says: Fall Back (OOTD)

I don't know about you guys, but this time change is really messing with my head. You'd think after 25 years of life I'd be used to it, but not so much. I associate darkness with sleepytime, which is kind of a problem when it gets dark by 5:00 pm. I can't have sleepytime at 5:00 pm, especially when I can't say no to doing things. That would make for a very unproductive Skippy. But not indulging in my desire for sleepytime makes for a very cranky Skippy. And a cranky Skippy makes the life of those around her, um, unpleasant. Let's just say I'm only smiling in these photos because it's still light out.







Shop:
- H&M top (bought on sale circa 2008, no longer available)
- BCBG skirt (bought on sale circa 2010, no longer available. Buy kind of similar here)
- Vintage scarf (bought at SF vintage expo)
- Kate Spade polka dot tights (bought at DSW- not available online but I have seen them in stores. Buy similar here)
- Sofft shoes (bought at Nordstrom. Buy here)

    This was my first time experiencing daylight savings and it really freaked me out! We used to have light here even till 8 or 9pm and now, at 5pm, it is DARK!

    Love your skirt - it is so unique! :)

    I totally feel you on this one, girl. I've been going to bed early; although, I've also been waking up wicked early, so I suppose it evens out. Love that scarf and skirt! Adorable as usual :)

    Cute! Love the skirt and tights. I'm the same way, I get tired when it's dark out... and then if we try to watch a movie, I'm out cold in about 20 minutes.

    I love this look so much! I saw in a White House/Black Market ad a white skirt paired with all black and thought it looked so classy. The scarf is such a fun addition too :) The time change has messed me up too. I have noticed I am much more cranky, lol! Heather

    I love the ruching oh your skirt. It's so pretty! I can't stand when it's dark out now by 5 either. It's really missing with my photog ways haha.

    Last year, I bought a lightbox and it has helped me tremendously and cured my Seasonal Affective Disorder. I'm a really happy-go-lucky person, but used to turn into a sourpuss from October through April. Now, I sit in front of a light for 20 minutes a day and I swear it helps me cope with all the darkness! I can recommend the brand I bought if anyone is interested...and no I don't work for them ;)

    Gah! I know exactly how you feel. I have no idea why, but this time change has been much more difficult for me to adjust to than any I can remember. I have to force myself to stay awake past 7:00 pm. It's embarrassing. I'm aged.

    Thanks Heather! It's weird- it's not like me at all to reach for white and black and gray (you know I love olor) but for some reason this outfit really appealed to me. At least I got some color in with the scarf :)

    I love that skirt! And the scarf is a beautiful pop of color against the black and white outfit

    And I'm with you: it's dark by the time I get home from work and it's super depressing. Not to mention, difficult to get nice outfit shots :)
