A Forgotten Outfit

I was uploading pics from the weekend and found this stashed away on my camera from a couple weeks ago.

Man, I miss having cool photo locations. You think that's a reason to move back in with my parents?

Thrifted... From My Closet

I was at my parents' house last week looking for Halloween costumes and found this sweater... in a trash bag.... in the back of my old closet. Who does it belong to? Nobody knows.

But I took it home and washed it and claimed it as my own.

Printed trend cloth

I love all the tribal-print stuff that is coming out this fall. In fact, I've got quite a few pieces pinned to 'the list' that I hope Santa brings me. But I've got a question for you...

Do you think it's offensive to call things tribal print? Or Navajo-inspired?

I remember reading a blog post once about how offensive it is equating the prints with a culture... when sometimes they aren't accurate. But what else are you supposed to call them? Is it offensive if we say things are Asian-inspired? Or African? Or what about the whole movement to dress like a French girl?

Oh, and excuse the pile of dirty dishes. That just means I cooked.

Feels Like Autumn

It's officially autumn....

Baseball season is over. I'm wearing a cable-knit sweater. And boots. The heat is on at my house. I wore my winter coat this weekend (and not just because it's Cardinal red). And this morning it was still dark when I woke up.

I like fall, really I do. Halloween, Thanksgiving, tailgating, cozy sweaters, Oktoberfest, pumpkin beer, fires... all great. But I'm not ready to be cold all the time and scraping ice off my car in the morning. Can we please rewind a little bit? Or at least pause before it gets any colder around here?

A New Location (And A Nice Mention!)

It's been so long since I've taken actual outfit photos that, apparently, I've forgotten how to pose... I look awkward. Anyway, I didn't move. I'm just house sitting for my parents and dead set on taking advantage of new locations for my morning photo shoots.

Over the weekend, I saw that Lacey of Oh My Goodness named me one of her favorite style bloggers - specifically for 'the Target lover.' So true. 90% of what I wear is from Target!So in honor of the mention, an all Target outfit for you today.

jeans, flats, tee, scarf, cardigan from Target. assorted bracelets and ring, as usual.
