The September Chickens Issue: Floral Sweater, Blue Skater Skirt And Burgundy Ankle Booties

     If you are at all like me, each year as summer winds down, you eagerly anticipate the September issues of all of the fashion magazines. I mean those suckers are juicy…when they arrive it’s like when I was a little kid and the Sears Christmas catalog finally came in the mail. Oh, the anticipation! Well, apparently that is also true for fans of poultry.
     The other day I was in line at Tractor Supply to buy dog food. As I waited I absentmindedly scanned the racks by the checkout. And there it was….the September issue of Chickens Magazine. Oh yes, my friends. And the cover chicken was sporting a fab lime green scarf and beanie hat, complete with a pom pom. My two most favorite cover articles were “Keep Fowl Feet Feeling Fine” and “Cold Chillin': Winter Treats Make For Happy Hens”. It’s true that I am easily amused, but I thought it was one of the greatest things ever that there’s a big September edition of Chickens Magazine…whether it be for chickens or fans of chickens, that’s just funny stuff.
     Is this sweater not to die for? It was one of my three scores during the Nordstrom Annual Sale. I love it…it’s lightweight so it can be layered over or under something, it’s soft and comfy and the colors are absolutely gorgeous. And it will work equally well with jeans. This is yet another boohoo.com skater skirt. No, I don’t have some rarely diagnosed skater skirt addiction. These skirts just rock, and when you find something that works you need to stock up. I didn’t own any navy blue skirts so this one was perfect to fill the void. I went with ankle boots because pumps or flats would be too expected. I’ve always gotta mix it up a little just to keep it interesting.

    Haaaaaaa! Chicken style … well, okay! Something for everyone in September, right. Hey, wait a minute. Do you think they’re making fun of us?
    So cute, this sweater, and you are quite right in your estimation of that sweater. Pretty especially on you, and I can’t say how much I love the booties. Looking brilliant, Debbie! (And that skirt isn’t looking bad, either, kid!)
