What I Wore | Girl Crush

WhatIWore: It seems like today might be the last day to go bare legged for a while, so here I am, rocking a short skirt! The temp went up quickly and I really didn’t need my jacket past my morning commute (which is all of 3 minutes to a nearby coffee shop). I was browsing Pinterst to get ideas on what to wear and saw a lot of cute camel and ivory combos, which sparked this idea (see another way I’ve worn it here). I don’t want to be a grump and complain about it being in the 70s in November, but I have a lot more sweaters and hats I’d like to bundle up with! Call me crazy, but I also wouldn’t mind a snow day soon (gasp! shock!)

When: November 5, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Sweater: Lands’ End
Jacket: Tracy Reese, similar here
Skirt: Target, similar here
Bag: DvF
Booties: Rag and Bone

Where: Morning work sesh

This bag was a gift to myself after I had Felix last year, but I haven’t carried it nearly enough! How do I know? I found a size one diaper inside this morning. *tear* These babies grow up too fast! 

What I Wore | Easy Everyday

WhatIWore: Here’s what I wore for a morning stroll to the bagel shop and then a little time at the library with Felix. Normally I have a babysitter on Monday mornings, but she had to take the morning off, so it was just mommy and me time for us! I went with something I knew I could comfortably wear without a coat (it’s been so warm here!) and could walk a mile two and from downtown in. It’s kind of a 70s meets modern hybrid of an outfit. I’ll have to stop myself from just wearing a cream sweater every other day all winter (guilty as charged!)

What I Wore | Apple Picking

WhatIWore: On Sunday I felt well enough to get up and out of the house and my family had such a beautiful morning together picking apples! We drove north to Anderson Orchards, which I highly recommend if you’re in central Indiana (it’s just west of Mooresville).  See our pics from apple picking last year here.

The Quirk family likes to get out the door as early as possible, so from the time we wake up to getting in the car - it’s just about 20 minutes. (This is also kind of necessary if you want to eat breakfast out because the crowds start showing up around 9 or 9:30 and then you’re waiting foorrrreeeevvveeeerrrr for your pancakes!)  Adam usually gets Felix ready to go while I throw on my clothes and off we go! I’ve been waiting for the right chilly morning to break out my new brown boots (so comfortable!) and I just finished this hat! I’ve been dragging my feet on hat making, primarily because my supplies and workstation are upstairs and it’s just easier to knit or do handwork in the living/playroom with Felix downstairs.  Adam insisted on some daddy-son time Saturday morning (and by insisted I mean, he knew mommy wanted to have some time to get creative on her own) so that’s when I finished this beauty. I really love it!

When: September 20, 2015

What:
Hat: Stars and Field
Shades: Karen Walker in Crazy Tort
Sweater: LL Bean Signature
Belt: Thrifted
Bag: Frye
Jeans: J.Crew
Boots: Ugg Australia

Where: Breakfast at the Village Deli and Apple Picking at Anderson Orchards

This round crown, floppy brim hat is made of rabbit hair velour and woven leather banding. Inside it has a petersham band that was handsewn in. I normally put wiring into the brims, but this design worked nicely left alone. I hope to list this style in my etsy store soon as a custom order if you’re interested! 

One Sweater | Four Ways

WhatIWore: Besides my trusty pair of jeans, a cream turtleneck sweater has been my number one go to this fall (this is the outfit I wear on repeat these days). Above - four of my favorite other ways to wear this versatile cold weather piece.
