One of the reasons I started this blog was to challenge myself to be more creative with my wardrobe. I don't claim to have made any outrageous fashion choices since then, but I am becoming a little bolder. In the past, for example, these shorts would have been relegated to my summer-only clothing bin. I came across them the other day and, as I was about to put them away until next year, I decided I'd try to style them for fall instead. It was a fairly easy transition: add tights, boots, and a favorite blazer. Not earth-shattering, I admit, but it was a conscious decision to try something I wouldn't have tried before. So I think I'm making progress, even if the changes are perceptible only to me.
