WhatIWore: Nothing makes me feel warm like a faux fur animal print coat! Ok, not completely true (would rather be snuggled under a million covers in bed, but…life). Ok! So this is a pretty basic outfit but made many times more fun via the animal print coat. This is my second vintage version which I found at an antique shop at the end of the season a couple years ago and got for a really great price. My first one had ripped a huge hole in the lining and yes, although I can sew, replacing the lining was going to be a procrastination project. You know the kind… the ones where you could do that instead of paying someone else but it just never gets done because starting a brand new project would be 100x more fun. 

When: January 19, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Coat: Vintage ‘Safari styled by Fairmoor’ (I believe this is the same coat for sale on etsy, and this and this are similar the same brand)

Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Coffee Shop Laptop Sesh

I’ve partnered my coat with a classic chambray and denim combo, a pairing I’ve loved for years. I like how these high waisted flare jeans balance out the volume of the coat and I just sort of feel like a late sixties vintage babe today. It’s also my first morning back in the groove with regular babysitters and getting out of the house and it feels great!

WhatIWore: Happy (almost) Thanksgiving! We’ll be taking the next few days off to spend time with our families - the people we’re most grateful for! Instead of talking about my outfit, I’d like to ramble a smidge about how thankful I am for the many blessings in my life. My precious son Felix, my husband, my generous and loving parents and in laws. My extended family and friends. I am so grateful for my health and safety. I have a warm home, a fridge full of food, a community of smart, kind and funny friends. I can close my eyes at night and fall asleep knowing that life is good. There are oodles of little things that aren’t nearly as important as the big stuff, but still worth acknowledging. I get to be creative each day! I have cable! I have time to sit and knit while my son plays! The list of things that bring me joy is so long and so I’m happy to have a day to really focus on those people and things. But mainly the people! I hope you’re able to enjoy the day doing the same. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
