I've pretty much fully recovered from this past weekend thanks to yesterday's pizza eating and documentary watching with a small but effective dose of new Gossip Girl thrown in. This hoodie from the wonderful people over at Use Small Words is kind of absolutely perfect to wear on days such as this one, seeing as I feel extraordinarily comfortable but not like a total slob either which, as someone who is obviously obsessed with clothing, is an important yet tricky balance I've found. Alas, problem solved! 

Oh, and as mentioned last week, of course keep in mind that Use Small Words is offering a 25% discount to all Modern Guilt readers if you just type the "ourfriends" code into the little box during checkout over at their site.

Moving on: today is for all intensive purposes in my little bubble of a world officially the end of summer. Why, you may ask? Simply put, because it's the first day I've been able to justifiably wear tights without looking like a total weather disregarding nerd. It's actually gettingCOLD again. Like not enjoying sitting out on the balcony kind of cold. Like don't leave the house in just a t-shirt kind of cold. Like you are going to freeze your arse off if you don't pull on some tights kind of cold.

Fortunately for me, I've been looking forward to tights and jackets weather for a short bit of time now, so I still have this romanticized and wholly unrealistic view of autumn and winter in my head...I'm giving myself two weeks until I start crying for summer again. But in the meantime, I'm SO gladly all about black tights and layering.
