New York Fashion Week is now officially over and I am bereft. I wasn’t there, mind you, but many of the bloggers I read regularly were there.

I don’t know what my days will be like without slide shows that I can shake my head at and chuckle, “Oh that crazy Christian Siriano with his signature ruffles. He’s just so fierce.”

There was much that I liked from the shows and look forward to sporting in Fall 2012: Leather sleeves! Peplums! Fur! Burgundy and wine tones! All together now! (Actually, a burgundy peplum jacket with fur trim and leather sleeves would be right up my alley.)

But I think what I’ll miss most in Fall 2012 are using the sleeves on my coat. Alas, henceforthwith, my coat will only adorn my shoulders and the sleeves will lie limply.
