Fashion // Autumn

One significant perk of living in New England is autumn. The turning leaves, pumpkin picking, apple picking, soft light, warmer textures and darker moods all come out in the clothing. People are layering up and pulling out the sweaters.  I just love fall colors and tones and really enjoy incorporating those into my outfits. 

With this outfit I sadly cannot direct you to a place to buy these pieces.  They were both thrifted and the hat is from Need Supply two years ago. I hadn't gotten a chance to wear the skirt I picked up at a second hand store in Burlington VT until our dinner party.  It's so great for fall.  I love the midi length. 

I've been pretty fascinated with dark lipsticks and nail color. The just fits with the autumn colors and earlier sunsets.  Shorter days seem to give off different light in New England. It feels moodier. 

Weekend Casuals

The weather in Connecticut is finally getting to the point where it is consistently nice. The windows are open, the shorts and dresses have been pulled out of storage. It's been a long winter and this weather is much appreciated.  

Today we are showing you my current weekend wear.  I have been wearing a variation of this outfit almost every weekend for the past couple of weeks.  It's just so comfortable and a versatile.  The shorts were boyfriend jeans that were just a little too big and not very flattering.  I was thinking about tossing them and then had the idea to cut them into shorts, inspired by Madewell's current spring/summer catalog. Well, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. These shorts are so comfortable. I love them paired with my white converse.  It's still transitioning into shorts and t-shirt weather, so I've been wearing long sleeve shirts and sweaters with the shorts when it's a little cooler. 

One thing I love about Connecticut is the woods. I grew up running around and playing in the woods and it was such a fun childhood. I still feel a bit like a kid jumping from rock to rock when I spend time out there.
