The Essentials

Plaid and a hat are without a doubt my two main essentials when it comes to fall outfits. Maybe plaid just gives off a really cozy feel, but it's just great this time of the year. I really love the feminine touch this top has too. I usually stray away from v-neck tops, but this one is cut perfectly that it may have opened my mind a bit to trying out more. Yay to trying new things!

Child of the 90s

There's just something about this outfit that has such a 90s vibe to it that I'm all about. Maybe it's the mock neck, ribbed material,the washed denim, and the tennis shoes. But the combination of it all makes me feel like I'm back in '97 again. 

It was SO cold, and SO windy yesterday in Portland which was SO frustrating because all I wanted to do was take blog photos and actually have a good productive day. I got really mad and worked up about it, but someone reminded me "Don't get worried or frustrated over things you can't control". And it was really exactly what I needed. It's so strange how something can seem like such a big deal in the moment, but when you take a step back it's a lot smaller then you think.

I'm blabbing. Anyways, I hope you all are enjoying the week so far and staying warmer than me!

Favorite Sweater

Hey everyone, meet my favorite sweater. You can ask all the girls at work, I wear this thing a couple times a week. It's seriously the perfect, cozy, turtleneck ever. It goes great with all my jeans and tennis shoes, which in all creates the ideal "I'm ready for school and to be as comfy as possible, but I want to look like I didn't just completely rolled out of bed" look. 

This sweater also started my obsession with turtlenecks...it's getting a bit out of hand.

Autumn Days

Just like most people, I definitely have a giant soft spot for fall. Seeing the leaves slowly change to bright and vibrant colors, snuggling up with a warm cup of coffee or cider, and the cold weather... which means layers! I love finally being able to bundle up under big coats and scarves. I'm super happy about my new addition to my closet, this poncho! When I first saw it, I was instantly drawn to the colors. My favorite part about it is that it doubles up as a scarf! It seriously is the perfect piece for my favorite time of year.

Basic Uniform

It's funny how I can be so skeptical to posting outfits like these, just because they're pretty simple. But honestly, this has been what I've been wearing so much of lately. My outfits have been a comfy sweater, jeans, and my new balances. It's just the perfect outfit for this weather and it's great to my busy schedule. And I've always been one to think that less is more when it comes to outfits.

Changing Seasons

Fall, I never realized how much I missed you. 

Here are some photos that have me even more inspired for the colder months.

Happy Thursday!
