please stay, cold front

It dipped down to the 60s today. The 60s! Could cooler weather finally be on the way? My friend said, "You don't want it to get cold because it's too hot right now - you just want it to get cold so you can accessorize!" He knows me too well. I have a soft spot for long coats, knitted scarves, and colorful tights, so I want it to be cooler now now NOW!

J.Crew perfect fit shirt

Hudson jeans
etc:
Star Ling boots
F21 necklace
J.Crew ruffle front coat


I scraped all the mud off my ACL boots, and as you can see, they didn't escape unharmed. One boot is clearly darker than the other due to some water staining, but eh. I like to think that it gives them more character, hahaha... Sweet denial!

I love the J.Crew ruffle front coat, and only wish that it came in petite sizes because the sleeves are a bit too long. Other than that, it's perfection!

  7. Cute coat! I'm dying to buy myself a wool coat, but the weather where I live never gets that cold - I used to live on the East Coast and still feel nostalgic for the scarves and ear muffs.

  13. I was so afraid to wear any coats (even lightweight ones) on Saturday because I didn't want the weather to get scared and leave!

  14. Pamela - My closet is a permanent mess, haha! I really need to clean it, but every time I decide to, I take a look at it and surrender that ambition. It is out of control!

    Tres Tippy - Ick, I hate indecisive weather! But if it's cool in the morning, that means it HAS to start cooling down altogether, right? Then your black ruffle front coat can come out and play!

    Daily Lily - Agh, snow! It's pretty for the first week, but then after that, snow just gets annoying!

    Patina - Snow is no fun after the first week! Then it turns into a slushy mess! Thanks for the compliments! My boots are still two different colors, but oh well, haha!

    E - I thought about getting the sleeves shortened, but at the moment, am too lazy to bring it to a tailor! Well, that and too forgetful...

    Tatiana - Scarves and coats are so much fun to throw on!

    Christina - Oh no! I'm sure those who live in snowy areas would be envious of how your climate never dips that low, but I would miss coats too!

    Kristin, Yogagirl, A Bigger Closet - Thanks!

    Goldenmeans - Dooo it! Haha, it's so super comfortable!

    Rosemary - F21 has really stepped up its costume jewelry game lately!

    Angela - 80s is definitely better than snow, although it's still chilly out! Which is perfect!

    Sarah - I wore mine for that exact reason! I thought, "This may be my only chance for a loooong time to bust this coat out!"
