About the Author: Katy Rose is a full-time freelance writer and editor. While a large part of her work centers around business reporting she has secretly been in love with the fashion industry for years. When she is not writing, Katy Rose is working as a local fashion consultant for teens and blogging about style.

Her fashion-related work has appeared on SparkleShelf, Helium, The SuperMelon and RelateMag. For several year she served on the board of New York City's Fashion Forum and is now an advisor to the group from a distance.

Unless otherwise stated, all the items on this blog worn or talked about have been purchased by me. Any products I have been given to review or write about will be identified in the body of the post.

A friend told me this weekend she loves to see how I re-invent summer clothes for the fall weather. It makes her feel better to see I don’t have a limitless wardrobe (which obviously I don’t since I am constantly re-wearing items). Anyway, with that in mind I pulled out this shirt/skirt/mini-dress deal and worked it into an outfit for today. And I know I made the resolution of taking more outdoor pics because the door is so boring. But alas it has been raining for the last 15 hours, so outdoor pics weren’t possible today. Sorry. Tip: When layering to create a look make sure you put your deodorant on first. It’s complicated if you wait till the end. ;) [Skirt: Forever21 (actually a shirt), Shirt: H&M, Jacket: New York & Co., Leggings: H&M, Belt: New York & Co., Shoes: Target, Earrings: NYC street vendor]
