    what I wore : blending in

    by Kaylah Stroup October 27, 2015

     

    details
    shirt – Hosting for the Weekend Tunic c/o Modcloth
    necklace – Crescent Moon Pendant c/o Moorea Seal
    jeans – Skinny jeans c/o Macy’s
    camera bag – Jo Totes
    boots – Palladium Boots

    Insert obligatory few sentences about how much I love fall. The colors, you guys, the colorssss! 😛
    This is my first year having orange hair in autumn. I usually try to avoid it since strangers inevitably ask dumb questions and make rude comments. Seriously, where do people come from that calling a stranger on the street “pumpkin head” is acceptable?! I wasn’t ready to dye my hair a new color so I just decided to roll with it this year. While the comments are just as annoying as ever I kind of love having a hair color that matches the season so well. Just down the street from me there is a tree that perfectly matches my hair and every time I walk under it I hope anyone who see me is appreciating just how awesome it looked. Hah!
    I knew since I blended in so well this year I had to make sure to go find a pretty background to take outfit photos in front of. My obvious first choice was the cemetery! I’m pretty sure there is nothing prettier than a cemetery in fall. I visited Monroe Street Cemetery (which I blogged about last fall) and it did not disappoint. It was a struggle to not pick up every single pretty leaf I found to press. Can this season just last forever!?

     

    Hope you’re having an excellent week.
    xoxo

    Last Sunday, as part of our anniversary adventure, Jeff and I swung by the abandoned greenhouse. We’ve visited in the winter, in the spring and I’ve been not so patiently waiting for the perfect time to go see it in the fall. Alas, it wasn’t as colorful as I had been hoping and dreaming it …
