open roads and moto skirts

That just doesn't sound like a safe combination to me....

How is it October already???

I feel like this year has utterly flown by, punctuated by prolonged moments of sharpest pains and sweetest memories. Perhaps it's a bit early to be singing odes to 2012, but fall always brings with it a sense of endings for me. The chill of winter begins to slowly seep in despite our warmest bundlings; fashion changes, vacations end, seasons change and the Wheel turns a bit further. Sometimes its inexorable roll in one direction feels a bit overwhelming to me.

These photos are from a recent sojourn to Evanston, Wyoming and the Bear River. No particular reason for the trip other than the burning desire for the open road, with a few random stops along the way. Echo Canyon has some really pretty rest stops.

If you don't already own a white moto skirt, I highly suggest you acquire one. As in, right. this. second. If moto isn't your style, any sassy skirted silhouette in an ivory to cream to white hue will work - just bear in mind: the sweeter the shape, the spunkier the accents. Paired with a vast assortment of patterned, sheer and solid tights in an array of colors and boots of varying heights, it's pretty much perfect weekend wear for fall. #seriously.
