Not Quite Fall

Saturday, October 7, 2017

I thought about explaining where I've been the past few weeks or just writing about my clothes. But writing something a little lighthearted today sounded perfect!

While I'm writing this post it is a toasty 80-something degrees outside (26ish c). What is going on in the world?? This past week I actually switched over my closet from summer to fall, which I'm regretting now. I'm just staring at my closet longing for the moment I can wear a sweater and not want to die of heat stroke! I remember doing the same thing last year around this time and you think I would have learned by now. I just have a lot of fall pieces I can't wait to style. Is that so much to ask for in October?

But I thought it'd be a good time to show off one of my favorite dresses in my collection right now. I've actually had this dress for almost a year but haven't shown it on the blog! It has no tag so I just tried it on with a whim and I so glad I did! It's one of my favorites for work. I would probably wear it once a week if I could.

My shoes are a recent fall purchase as I was in desperate need of a new black bootie! I, luckily, found these in the children's section of Target! Can you believe it? I have a feeling you'll be seeing them a lot in the next few months (if it ever cools down....).

Dress: Thrifted

Hat: Gift

Shoes: Target

Does it feel like fall where you are?

Back in the Swing of Things

Wednesday, April 5, 2017

Please forgive me that my posts are so sporadic since I've been back. Sunday used to be my blogging and thrifting day. On Sunday, sometimes I would get two photo shoots done, write some posts, and be able to make it to goodwill! That isn't really the case anymore. I've been going to brunch with some really great people and then going to my running club, which has been taking up my entire day.... woops! So, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to manage my time and get back into blogging.

I did manage to hit goodwill this weekend, which was really nice. I donated a big bag of clothes that just aren't my style anymore/don't fit and picked up some new gems including these awesome boots!! I'm so obsessed with them. I've been looking for some new black boots and these fit the bill perfectly.

I was really inspired by my pal Devinne from Mox and Socks to start culling down my wardrobe. I've been noticing some shifts in my wardrobe lately i.e mostly wearing pants! But on this particular day, I felt like wearing a skirt on the weekend, which is pretty rare for me these days!

I don't know why but I've been feeling more self-conscious in my wardrobe choices lately. I used to be okay with wearing really outlandish things or dressing up while others were so casually dressed but lately, I've been wanting to blend in. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm not entirely sure how to overcome this.
