THE DENIM JACKET

FESTIVE FALL

I adore fall for all its rusted colors, and this skirt speaks volume in that category. This skirt is special to me because it is from my aunt. It was passed along to me and I love it so much not only for the color, but also because of the sentimental value! Knowing that she wore this same garment when she was around my age gets me thinking about all the adventures and outfits that she had while wearing it. It was perfect for this cloudy day while hanging around Yale. So much love for all the old charm! Also, I got to make some homemade pumpkin granola today too. I felt extremely festive and glad! Here's a final result of the yummy fall baking:

Have a wonderful start to your weekend!

RUSTIC COLORS

Hey Bloomers! This Saturday was my definition of perfect spring weather. I'm loving the forsythia at my house. The bright yellow makes such an appearance letting me know it's really spring! 

I was so excited to finally do some light layering with this shawl cardigan. My aunt gave me this lovely orange overcoat. I love how a rustic orange looks against turquoise so I had to wear my necklace and bracelet. I've also been really dedicated to my black fringe bag lately, but I left it at Danny's house so it forced me to choose another purse from my collection. I love this double button cross-body purse that Danny bought me. I knotted the top so that I could hang it on one shoulder for the day. 

I hope your weekend is going well! I can't wait for all of my finals to be over soon/for graduation so that I can bring you more outfit posts (sorry it's been so long)! Have a great Sunday :)

DAINTY WOLF

Hello Bloomers! I just got back from a weekend in Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA with some amazing friends. I'll post some pictures I snapped while I was there, but first I want to share outfit pics Amy took of me before I left. 

It was about 60 degrees out and gorgeous. I wanted to add some girly accents like my lace kimono and ruffle socks. This tee is one of my favorites because not only was it $2 at Savers (Danny picked it up and let me have it!), but it also fits like a tunic. With cold weather on the way again, it was nice to spend some time outside. Have a wonderful Monday!

SPRING IN THE SUN

I recently purchased a neutral density filter for my Canon so that I can take some day time shots of Danny fly fishing. When it came in the mail I was overjoyed to go and try it out. Danny and I headed to Indian Ledge park in my town to take some pictures. I'm glad we went because we wound up sitting down on the wooden bridge and enjoying the warm sun. It's still so cold in CT, but when you find a quiet moment in the sun it feels like spring. I snapped this picture of the river from the bridge we were sitting on. I'm excited for moments like this to come as the days get longer and warmer. 

While we were there I had Danny snap a few pictures of my outfit. I felt pretty casual, but that my style personality was shining through. I love anything lace, denim, and southwestern print. Also, I will forever love my mallard bolo!

I hope you all have a great weekend :)

RINGS AND THINGS

I was overjoyed this week when my hairdresser was able to squeeze me in for a quick color. This is the longest my hair has been in four years, and I'm pretty excited to finally do color in a different way! I decided to keep the red this time and add a honey/orange ombre. On top of it all, I was excited to pair together my lacy white top with hints of blue.

SWAP SHOP SUNRISE

Hey Bloomers! Sorry I've been MIA the past few days, but I was on a short vacation in Florida enjoying the perfect weather.  I couldn't pass up this opportunity and had to get some outfit photos while I was there. It felt so nice not having to wear any winter clothes. These pictures were taken at the Swap Shop in Fort Lauderdale. The Swap Shop is a huge flea market and drive-in movie theater. My family is serious about antiquing and thrifting so we got up before dawn to get here (We may be a little crazy). When we got there the sun was just coming up so I thought it was perfect for some pictures! Hopefully we'll see spring soon.
