Cloudy Days

First things first, sorry about the lack of posts for the last couple months! Life has been a little crazy recently, and will probably stay a little crazy for the next couple months as well. Anyways, moving on.

So we were up in Santa Barbara for some wine tasting a couple months ago (yes, it took a while to get these up, shhh), and ended up tasting very little wine and mostly wandering around. We came across some train tracks that we thought would be fun for photos (and so did the people in the background). 

Boots and blazers are pretty standard for me, but what I don't normally wear would be this top. My mom bought it for me when we were in London several years ago, and I never really knew what to do with it. Finally decided to put it to use, then immediately got a black smudge on it. This is why I can't wear white things.

In Men's Clothing: Argyle Sweaters

I buy a lot of clothes from the men's sections of stores. Like, a lot. My brother and I actually loan each other clothes occasionally because I enjoy business casual men's wear so much (vests, sweaters, etc). Just because it's men's wear, however, doesn't mean it has to look manly. This is probably one of my more feminine looks involving men's clothing, as I've contrasted the potential manliness of the sweater with tights, heels, and makeup. I stole this particular sweater from my cousin during a white elephant event (and he in return got a flowery yellow blouse and purple leggings, sorry!), and have worn it several times since. Since I don't want to distract from its argyle pattern (I love argyle, it's so... geometric), I usually match it up with plain bottoms. Sometimes I wear it with a collared shirt, sometimes I don't.

Also I'm really excited in the second to last picture because I found a slug.

There's Nothing in Between

Took these on the road somewhere between SoCal and NorCal. There's such a long stretch of nothing going on between the two areas, aside from the occasional smell of cows.

This vest is the puffiest, most comfortable thing. I'm basically wearing a pillow with a super-soft fuzzy hood. The best part is that the hood is removable. And yes, sometimes I walk around with the fuzzy hood on my head without the vest attached. People do that, right?

Fall Colors and Wild Animals

I know it's winter right now, but the seasons don't really behave correctly here. It feels more like fall today. We were cleaning up the yard, so the falling leaves made it even more autumn-y. The color of the sweater is a very neutral shade of green, which gives it that fall feel while making it easy to match with other items. I also love the fit of this sweater because it hides any and all food babies. It's a little long though so sometimes it looks like I'm running around without any shorts on (freedom, baby!).

Anyways, partway through the shoot my dog decided she wanted to photobomb my pictures and make derp faces. She reminds me of me: she spends most of her time making ugly faces and only loves people when they feed her.
