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!

It’s finally cool enough to start wearing layers, at least on some days. This is so exciting! Fall is basically my wardrobe’s time to shine. I don’t get how to dress for hot weather but Fall is my jam! Plus gosh darn it, it is gorgeous outside. Look at all those leaves down already and my favorite tree in the cemetery is already changing. I can’t wait to start hiking more often and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to see Klaus play in the leaves.

Hope you have a lovely day!

The other day while looking around for a place to take outfit pictures I stopped at a baseball field that I thought had a nice bridge to take pictures on. Normally there are lots of people there in the evenings so even though I’ve passed it many times I’ve never actually stopped. It turned out to be a pretty great place to take pictures. There was a bunch of old playground equipment strewn about, even a jungle gym in the woods. I waded through more major prickers (seriously, prickers like I’ve never even seen before. My poor legs… Also, I’m pretty sure “prickers” is a colloquialism, you might be more familiar with a briar patch.) to get to it. It was surprisingly sturdy. I’m not sure why it was moved away from it’s original location but it sure is charming in the woods. I definitely plan on going back again for more pictures. Something about urban decay is really neat to me.

Do you remember a little while back when I posted an outfit with a striped shirt that I got from TJ Maxx with elbow pads but the elbow pads were sewn on wrong, one was actually on the inside of my arm instead of on my elbow? Well the other day when I was browsing the racks at TJ Maxx I found another one except this one is even better! It’s black and white striped, far superior to the grey and off white stripes on the other shirt, and the elbow pads are exactly where they should be. I’m so excited about it. This is the perfect shirt. Seriously, all my favorite shirt qualities! It might sound silly to be so pumped about a shirt but finding ones I am 100% happy with is hard!

Happy Monday!

Last week I might have gotten sucked into Fab and bought myself a few little things. I’ve been wanting one of these Hello Apparel sweatshirts for a while now finally grabbed one when I saw there were some available on Fab. I kind of want to grab one in every color now…but I’ll hold off at least until the weather starts to cool down again. The sweatshirt runs a little on the shorter side, at least for me. I have a long-ish torso and a preference for longer tops. So I decided to see what it would look like tucked into a skirt. I love it! I’m really happy to have stepped out of my comfort zone to find that wearing a sweatshirt doesn’t necessarily mean you have to look like you spent the day lounging on the couch. (Here are two more sweatshirt outfits from the recent past that I’m still loving!)

I also finally bought a wearable planter, I’ve been wanting one for so long. I love the idea of sticking little flowers I find throughout my day in it or matching the flowers to my outfit.  I was originally a little hesitant to purchase when I read they had magnet backs instead of a pin since I have a history of losing brooches. When it arrived I was kind of shocked how strong of a magnet it has on the back, I don’t think it’ll be an issue at all. On Wearable Planter’s blog they have a little step by step guide of how they dye their planters. I love seeing how things are made, even just a little peek into the process like that is so neat. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this baby this summer! (This one is next on my want list, love that shape!)

Happy Tuesday!
