Days Off

With school starting back up and learning new stuff at work, things have been getting pretty busy lately. So when I do have a day off, I really try to take advantage of it and give myself time to relax and refuel. My favorite thing to do is to stay in bed extra long and listen to my favorite albums (most likely The Beatles of course!) Days off are really important and I really start wanting to treat them more as an actual day off. Even if it's a little day trip out of the city, I just want to spend them doing something I genuinely enjoy.

How do you guys relax and take advantage of a day off?

Colorful

Something that really inspires me is exploring my city, Portland. It's such a cool city to walk around and see where the street will take you. I've seen this wall a couple of times and have been dying to take photos in front of it and I finally did! I thought it would be the perfect against this edgy, black body suit. I've been wearing so much black lately! Which is definitely a bit of a change since I used to wear so much color. But I love the simplicity of a black outfit and the ability to mix and match with my ivory, white, and navy pieces so well. Even if you don't wear color all the time, you can always surround yourself with it!

Last of Fall

This year, one of my major fall staples has been an oversized, comfy sweater. I've been so busy lately that it's been great just to throw on a sweater with my black jeans and a pair of boots and call it good. It takes out all of the complications of "what should I wear" and "I hate everything in my closet", because it's almost impossible to say no to a comfy sweater during the cold weather.

Dockside Morning

Take to me back to this beautiful day, the beautiful light, the perfect setting, and the perfect time spent with my favorite guy. I love those days that just seem to go so right, and you're just caught up making memories.

I think I've mentioned this before, but I just love pairing the same color together. Wearing the same shade but different tones makes for an interesting outfit I think. And can I just say that I wear this cardigan so much? It's so perfect for wearing around the house on colder morning while I drink my coffee. 

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I'm about to work the madness that is Black Friday so wish me luck!

Heading Home

Does anyone else love stopping at view points or pretty places when on a road trip? When I was younger, one of my uncles and I went on a little four hour road trip and we stopped at every single view point/monument on the way. Ever since, I try and stop as much as I can (if I'm not in a hurry at least). Well this time was so worth it. 

I saw these beautiful orange leave trees that were in perfect rows and I knew I had to stop. It felt like an Autumn dream. I just wanted to run down to the other side to see where it would lead. 

This was just a reminder for me to stop and smell the roses and to sometimes stop and see where the road will take me.

Concrete

I always have that go-to outfit, even though it constantly changes, I feel like I always have one. Lately it's been anything with my Madewell jeans and hat. And since I got these Jeffrey Campbells, I seriously can't take them off. I could definitely see this being my go-to outfit for awhile, and changing it up with a different shirt and/or hat. I just love how simple it is and how confident it makes me feel....and isn't that what all outfits should feel like?

Keeping it Casual

I love a simple outfit. Jeans and a tee and I'm happy! Even though my outfits can be simple sometimes, I always like to wear something a bit unexpected or interesting. And these Jeffrey Campbell's are definitely interesting! They add so much character to my outfits. I've even decided that if I were a shoe...these would be me! ;)

This bag has been beyond amazing for all of my school work and laptop. I like doing homework at coffee shops sometimes, so it's nice to have a sturdy bag to lug it all around.

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

Old Ways

I thought I would go back to my original inspiration and go for a vintage inspired look. Even though this romper is modern, it looks so 60s to me! I love the high collar. I have been searching for the perfect caramel colored hat for a couple months now and I have FINALLY found it! It's going to be so wonderful for fall, I'm getting even more excited for the upcoming season. But I am going to miss wearing cutoffs and sandals...

Panasonic Headphones Giveaway!

I recently received a pair of Panasonic headphones to try out. I'm a firm believer that a good pair of headphones can really change a music experience. I love that these fit over my entire ear, because I've had pairs in the past that make my ears ache after wearing them for too long. Plus, I feel like I'm fully submerged in my music! No distractions! Perfect for going on walks around Portland or when I take the bus. All in all, I couldn't be happier with these bad boys.

Little Cord Dress

This is one of those outfits that is pretty much my uniform, basically one of my "go-to" outfits. This dress is perfect for when I go to work and then head out with friends or my boyfriend after. I'm a sucker for corduroy, so a button up corduroy dress? I'm all in!

I've thought about buying a back up pair of these sandals since I wear them so much. They're the comfiest sandal I've ever had and literally go with everything!
