Sweater Weather

FINALLY IT IS SEMI LESS BLAZING IN TEXAS!
I guess I'm more than a little excited that I can finally dig out my cable knits and cardigans. Being a native Minnesotan, my sweaters are used to seeing daylight late-septemeber, not mid-november. Oh well, they are worth the wait! There's nothing like layering a chunky knit over some boot/legging combo. Top that off with a scarf and there you have my fall wardrobe. Sweater weather is indeed better weather. This season, Ive been leaning towards neutrals with rosy undertones. I think that the less intense colors lend themselves well to the soft textures, and they look good on anyone!

Bloodlust

Oxblood. Not only is the name grungy-cool, this color is unexpectedly awesome and so wearable for fall. The RTW runways were dripping in this deep red accent and of course, I felt like I needed to post about it. Though it seems kind of intense, this color can be easily pulled off by wearing it as either a statement or an accent. If you're intimidated, go for a coat of of polish, or a belt. I recently purchased a blazer in this shade that I think will work well with a pair of dark jeans and a pair of flats or boots. I have yet to see a skin tone this color doesn't flatter and doubt I will. Here are some of my favorite things in oxblood.

Rain Check

This morning I woke up not to an alarm clock, but to the sound of rain against my window. How lovely! Sometimes rainy saturdays are just what I need. Even better--the rain brought the temperature down enough for me to layer up in a thick scarf, a denim button up and my favorite boots. Not surprisingly, Avery was wearing something very similar. Naturally, we had comfy cute on the brain.

Rainy days call for comfort, but it is possible to be comfy sans sweats. All you need is a pair of leggings, a cute scarf and voilà! Comfy cute. 

(also, I will be fully supportive you if you decide to wear variations of this look every day based on the incredibly high levels of comfort it offers--no judgement)

Sheer Thing

Despite wrapping up the second week of classes, this crazy heat has me still in summer-mode. I guess I'll be keeping my jeans and cardigans in the back of my closet a little longer than I'm used to, and getting good use out of this summer's tanks. No matter the heat, it is officially September, also known as TT (transition time). Time for my summer style to emulate fall (hello rolled button-ups)!

 

Avery and I had lots of fun documenting today's outfits after coffee today. 

Sheer tanks and iced coffees go hand in hand (;
