What I Wore | Creature Comforts

WhatIWore: After two days of gloominess and rain rain rain, I was excited to get up and get dressed this morning. I’ve been wearing these boots a lot - they’re surprisingly wearable with comfy sweaters or layered flannels and scarves. Next week I’m going to try them out with a skirt too! 

I’ve been doing a ton of knitting lately and someday I hope to have shelves full of homemade sweaters, but this one is a piece I picked up from ModCloth in my last order. It was about 50 degrees out when Felix and I went for our walk this morning and layered with a thinner v-neck underneath, I was pretty comfy! 

When: October 29, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Sweater: ModCloth
Jeans: Rag and Bone
Boots: Rockport, gift

Where: Coffee Shop walk with Felix and then a bang trim at the salon (these photos were taken on our way!)

What I Wore | Buffalo Check

         

WhatIWore: When I think woodsy, I think of a red and black buffalo check. I recently bought this scarf and I think it looks cute with a matching smaller check in the button down. I also like the way this whole top half of the outfit works with the boots. It’s like casual country girl and chic city woman all mixed up. I think? Anyway, I wore this on some errands with Felix the other day and I felt the perfect mix of comfortable and cute.

What I Wore | Falling Leaves

                               

WhatIWore: I had one of those mornings when I changed back and forth between a couple of outfits and finally decided to save one for cooler temps later this week and settle on this vintage dress instead. I have a thing for vintage chiffon dresses and this one is perfect for October with the pretty leaf print. As you can see from these photos, we’ve still got green leaves on the trees in town but the change is starting!

As for my outfit, I love the way the hem of the dress meets the top of my boots. Some style experts will tell you this is a no no, but I like it. Definitely something women did a lot of in the late 70s and early 80s and I think it works with the vintage dress. It’s probably a styling thing that works best on a taller gal or with a monochrome palette.

What I Wore | Yellowwood

WhatIWore: What’s better than an October Sunday morning hiking with your family? Nothing! Adam, Felix and I drove out to Yellowwood State Park for a loooooong (3 hour+) hike yesterday and it was gorgeous. Chilly, perfect fall weekend weather. A lot of people might think Indiana is a flat farm state, but southern Indiana actually has awesome state and national parks with really great trails. It’s not the Rocky Mountains or anything, but it can be a nice challenge! We Quirks really love our time in the woods! 

On these kinds of mornings I don’t really plan an outfit out or anything. I asked Adam “what should I wear?” and he told me to go with something “cute and outdoorsy.” This is what I pulled together. Hiking boots, a beanie, jeans, a plaid button down and a funky hoodie. Works for me! 

When: October 11, 2015

What:
Beanie: Denim and Supply Ralph Lauren, gift
Sunglasses: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in crazy tort
Plaid Button down: J.Crew Factory (similar styles here)
Sweatshirt: Old Navy Active
Jeans: J.Crew Factory
Hiking Boots: Lowa ‘Renegade’*

On Felix: Sweater and Pants, Target, Shoes, Spierry

Where: Yellowwood State Park 

*A note on the boots: These have taken me many many miles of trails - and I’ve had them for three years. I totally recommend them! 

One last random note: while hiking, I thought of one of my favorite what would you rather? questions. Would you rather have a lifetime as a tree, firmly rooted in one place or never spend two nights in a row in the same place?

Do you have any good would you rather? questions? We love to play around the campsite and I’d love to crowdsource some good ones from you guys!
