Grandpa...

I've been dressing like my grandpa a bit lately.  Blazers, button-ups and chords have been on repeat and somehow they make me feel smarter.  As my semester comes to a close, I'll be needing all of the smart energy I can get!!  SO MANY PAPERS DUE AHHH.

Anyway, we've had a few days of snow in Denver lately.  I love the change in weather and I especially love that the sun still shows up, keeping me motivated to stay productive and not sink into my sheets prematurely.

I've had a nice weekend.  I hope y'all did, too.

Put a scarf on it...

PUT A BIRD SCARF ON IT!!!

This was taken on one of the days my mom was in town.

I had a lovely time with her and can't wait to see her and the rest of my fam (hopefully) for Thanksgiving.

I also can't wait to share Halloween photos!!!

Last night was a doozy.

Cheerio.

Turtle!!

TURTLENECK SHA-BOOO-YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

You guys, it's the little things.  I found this Ralph Lauren Cropped (or super shrunk?) Turtleneck for $2.00 at Goodwill.  It's beautiful.  And I tell you what, my neck stays warm.  

I really can't say enough about thrifting and sale shopping.  Not only do I save boatloads of money, but the accumulating and then piecing together of an outfit from two-ish years of thrift/sale finds is so satisfying, so meant to be.

If you're not in on thrifting yet, get after it.  Iowa City folks, get to REVIVAL.  Denver folks, Goodwill on Broadway or that one place on Colfax and Lafayette.  Everyone else, Buffalo is an obvious go-to.

I hope y'all are doing well.  I just started club volleyball at UCD and I'm feeling a bit giddy from the physical exercise.  Bump, Set, Spike!  Just like high school.

Goodnight.

October...

[Scarf&Sweater: F21;  Shirt: Gap (Thrifted);  Jeans: F21;  Shoes: Nine West]

I love October.  I love the build-up to Halloween and the scattered leaves beneath my feet.  I love drinking apple cider and wrapping myself in the coziest of scarves every day.  I love coming home to homemade soup or chili in the crockpot.  Although the days get shorter and the nights a bit more brisk, October has always been my favorite month of the year.
