Hello there! This morning, when I finally forced myself out of bed and showered - it was a stormy day, and I think stormy mornings are best spent under a whole lot of blankets - I proceeded to go through a mess of outfits. Originally, I reached for a dress, then a different dress, and ended up in jeans and a sweater, but not this sweater. This sweater came a few minutes later, as I was shutting off the light in my room and running out the door/realizing I was less than thrilled with my sweater selection. I like what I (somehow) ended up with though. I felt very snow appropriate - snowpropriate - as well as comfortable enough for just a quick run to campus to frantically finalize and submit my registration form.
I actually ended up talking my own pictures today, as - once I'm out of bed - I do enjoy walks in stormy, cloudy weather. Plus, I figured with the snow we've been getting and the rain that was around today, the park would be quite empty. I have to say that I had a lovely time. Finding a nice spot for pictures, listening to Fleet Foxes on my walks to and from the park, laughing at the school-skipping hooligans who were laughing at me and my "documentary making." Good times. I forgot how much I just love walking around my neighborhood listening to my favorite music and nothing else. Few things clear my head better or make me more hopeful that I will, in fact, end up where I want to be (metaphorically and physically, I suppose).
Sweater: Forever 21
Jeans, Purse: Urban Outfitters
Oxfords: Steve Madden
Hat: Modcloth
Until Tomorrow,

Great sweater! I love the detailing around the neckline. :D
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I actually really enjoy stormy days. I think it's because they feel so cosy : )
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I love this look! That sweater really looks good with your skin tone. Also LOVE Fleet Foxes!
Isn't it funny how taking pictures for yourself can be so much fun these days? I'm not one for stormy days- at all. I'm so affected by the weather- it's terrible!
ReplyDeletei love stormy days..
ReplyDeletebut after 4 straight stormy days..i am missing the sunshine.
love this casual look. you pull it of effortlessly.
you are beautiful. (i always say that..i know..but i mean it.)
plus..fleet foxes are the best for walking through a park.
xoox
stormy days are great to be spent amongst blankets, though i'm glad you didn't because you look so pretty!
ReplyDeletei need to get myself a tripod and start practising self-pictures, i'd be a much more independent blogger... yours are great!
That sweater has really nice details on it, and I really like your oxfords. They don't seem super trendy like a lot of the other oxfords I've seen.

I love the sweater! hahaha and that always happens to me! Like "yeah, imma wear a dress!" and end up in my jeans :P
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love that hat! I've been so in love with hats lately. I need to start stocking up for spring!

You are just too adorable! I go through the same outfit changes almost every morning, haha. I think its just a girl thing.Oh and i looovoeeee fleet foxes too!
ReplyDeleteGo you! I love it when bloggers with their own photogs take their own photos every once in awhile. I think it's empowering. :)
ReplyDeleteStill love that sweater, still love those shoes, really love them together!!
Ah, you look so cozy and cute! That bowler hat is pretty much the coolest thing as well. I always do that same thing: changing my mind about my outfit at the last second. Although lately I've had to pick my outfit beforehand, so as not to disturb Greg when I'm getting up at 5 in the morning. Poo.
ReplyDeleteoh i love the detail on the front of you sweater, it is so cute!! also i need a hat like that i have been searching for a black one but i haven't found it yet!
ReplyDeleteYour hate is pretty radical! I wish I could wear one like yooou.
ReplyDeletexoxo mama wolf.
I like the final selection very much and I lovvve stormy days. It's fun taking pictures by yourself when nobody's around, it's just so hard to guarantee that.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I also love the plaid look below!
such a romantic look! perfect for a stormy day--like a contemporary interpretation of wuthering heights :)
ReplyDeletestormy days are definitely meant for curling up in your sheets and just doing nothing all day. :)
ReplyDeletei love your sweater though - the lace detailing is so lovely.
Lovely jumper, the colour really suits you.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, wearing a dress on a rainy day never really happens- although it's nice to think it might!!
ReplyDeletei love this look- so casual and chic.
