1 more day...

for MMM'12 and today was a beautiful crisp Autumn day.

Today I am wearing a skirt that was made by a very good sewing buddy, Sandra or Dilliander if you visit Pattern Review.  After making this skirt Sandra decided she didn't really wear skirts that much any more and since we are very similar in size and like the same colours, Sandra gifted this to me, together with the pattern, how lucky am I!!

Skirt: Beignet Skirt made by Sandra and gifted to me.
Cardigan: Simplicity 2603 using brown Mercury Jersey previously worn on days 3, 9, 11 and 25. 
Accessory: Purchased belt, earrings and necklace.
Tights:  Brown tights.
Boots: Nine West brown boots.

and it has certainly flown by.

It is a grey day here today and thankfully the rain showers held off so I could get my photo this morning.
