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 | Into the Woods

                     

WhatIWore: Over the weekend we had our annual family cabin camping trip at Lincoln State Park. I look forward to this as soon as the weather changes and fall is in the air. I love it. And I did something this time that was so liberating - I wore the same thing (minus fresh underthings and a tee shirt) every single day. This was it - a flannel shirt, jeans and Bean Boots that I never laced it. 

For as much as I enjoy getting dressed up, I also really enjoy not getting dressed up. Do you ever feel that way?

When: October 24, 2015

Flannel: J.Crew Factory
Jeans: GUESS
Boots: L.L. Bean

And how about those baby snuggles? Those rosy cheeks! Those sweaty blonde curls! Every time I nurse my son or hold him through a nap I think to myself over and over again Stay in the moment! Cherish this! I’ll never regret the dozens (or hundreds?) or cuddles and laying around I’ve had with Felix. Just looking at these photos almost brings me to tears. How bittersweet to see my baby grow into a boy.

What I Wore | Pumpkin Carving Party

WhatIWore: Happy Monday, y’all! After a long weekend in the woods (without a cell signal or laptop in sight!) I’m happy to be back to blogging. I have loads of photos to edit, so I’m starting the week off with an outfit I wore last night to our friends’ annual pumpkin carving party. We managed to get all of the kiddos into costumes for some part of the night and I’ll show you Felix’s Halloween costume sometime this week!

As for my outfit, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this sweater in the mail. I love how it pairs nicely with a striped turtleneck (I took the poncho/sweater off while I actually scooped and carved my pumpkin). Paired with skinny jeans and boots, it’s the perfect autumn outfit!

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in crazy tort
Lipstick: NARS in Afghan Red
Striped Turtleneck: J.Crew (on sale!)
Poncho style sweater: ModCloth

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.
