Rustic Blues in New York

Contradictory to my last post here, where I was talking about fall shopping: I now have to admit that when the temps outside are soaring in the upper freaking eighty degrees, how can one channel them self to shop around for warmer clothing.?????  But what is a girl supposed to do when stores are beaming with autumn-hued clothing??????? It does become a challenge to resist all temptation for buying something, at least one thing  that screams fall. 
So on one of my latest shopping trips to H&M, my eyes met this rusty red skirt: a skirt that is cute, flared and fall-perfect. I had seen a similar style skirt at Express, but owing to missing sizes, I couldn't bring home none. But when I saw this skirt, my love for this skirt-style resurfaced and rest is history...
I wore this outfit on the first day of my NYC trip. As much as I love this look, taking pictures of this look was no love. With the non-stop pedestrian and traffic movement, it was rather impossible than difficult to get any pics.( hence the lack of enough outfit pics) . But thanks to my friend Tanima  who gave her best to get these  pics. 
Off-late, I have been embracing a lot of colors and this outfit is no short of colors. Since the skirt was a neutral, I was feeling a bright top like this one. To satiate my color-crush further, the bag and shoes really came in handy. Overall a NYC-worthy look . 
What do you think of this look ???
