    Geez, long time no outfit post! I really miss taking outfit pictures at least once a week. My new hair color and the gorgeous colors outside (which coincidentally go really beautifully with my hair!) inspired me to finally try and get back into it. It’s kind of a bad time to try and get back into the swing of things with winter coming but a little bit of snow never stopped me before. (Here’s some past snowy outfits.)
    I’m crazy about this sweater. It’s comfy as heck and it has elbow patches which automatically make almost any piece of clothing the cutest. I bought it at TJ Maxx in Pittsburgh when I went there for a couple days to see Man Man last month. I like picking up pieces of clothing on my travels because then they forever remind me of that trip. Doing that is like buying souvenirs that aren’t tacky. Not that I don’t love super tacky souvenirs, I most certainly do. It’s just Pittsburgh is too close to home to want to wear something that says “Pittsburgh” on it.
    Hope you have an awesome Tuesday!
    xoxo

    Pssst. Here’s two older outfits featuring the same dress. 1 & 2

    I’m kind of overdue on sharing photos of my office. I moved into this room quite a while ago but there just kept being small things I’d remember needed done every time I’d go to take photos. The Mutter museum print needed framed, bulletin board needed cleaned off, shelves just didn’t seem to look right …
