I want to jump into the long sleeves, the leather, the wine colored everything, the knits...

But it is still very hot here (not that that is a bad thing!).

Shorts are a big focus for early fall, paired with blazers, long sleeve blouses, sleeveless sweaters, boots and even tights taking the look further into the cold weather.

Clearly the only thing reverse commuter is pairing shorts with right now is a tank top & flops.

But it is strangely comforting to know that they are sticking around for awhile!
