The Comeback Kid

I'm baaa-aaack!

It's been a long summer. With two trips back home to Alaska (one being a planned two weeks, and the other being a totally spontaneous four weeks due to family stuff), a new apartment, a ten day visit from my best friend, all on top of online classes and various other things... You could say I've been pretty busy. Unfortunately, that meant being too busy to take blog photos, let alone put myself together on most days. (I seriously have a Birkenstock tan line. Seriously.) Those busy summer days are behind me now though, with the only lingering evidence of summer being the ungodly heat here in Portland. Long story short, I'm happy to be "back"; and what better way to make a comeback than in denim overalls and Doc Marten boots?

Different

 I'm so excited to be posting an outfit for you guys! My boyfriend and I haven't been together as much lately (no problems, just busy schedules!) and that means less outfit photos for you guys! My birthday is coming up, and my mom surprised me with giving me my birthday money early, because I'll be back in Alaska on my actual birthday, and there's no shopping centers or anything where I live. Because of my Nordstrom internship coming up this June (SO EXCITED), I thought Nordstrom would be the best place to spend a chunk of my money. They always have great quality pieces that are both on trend yet classic. I'm so excited to be part of a store that I love so much. 

Also, I got a new blog makeover! I decided I wanted something simple and clean, and though I love the watercolor/pastel/pretty look, I just wasn't feeling like it was me any more. And besides that, my favorite thing ever is for things to change and be different from before!  

How have you guys been? What do you guys think of the new blog look?

Uni-Que

 I'm pretty much madly in love with Free People's Voile and Lace Trapeze Slip. I bought it first in the color I'm wearing, blue, this summer. Then in fall, I bought the deep red color. I'm kind of thinking I need another one for spring. Is that excessive? Even if it is, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm thinking of either getting it again in the Lilac or the Ballet colors, just so I have a softer one. The reason I can justify owning more than one of these gorgeous slips is because A. they're so versatile. I can think of so many different ways to style them, and they're great for layering. B. They're not a basic. Having something so fun, funky, and unique that is also super wearable is kind of an amazing thing in my opinion.

Do any of you have unique pieces you could seriously wear every day and be happy?

Transition Period

 It's finally starting to feel like fall! October is my favorite month so this is a pretty big deal for me. I love the smells, the colors, and the fashion of fall. October is my favorite month because it's the first month it really feels like fall usually, and I'm also a pretty huge fan of Halloween. However, this Eskimo isn't feeling chilled to the bone yet, so I decided today would be a good day to take a summer piece and transfer it into a great fall piece! This crop top is one I bought for those hot summer days, but I love the simplicity of it so I'm still really in the mood to wear it. Pairing it with high waist shorts would have been my go to in the summer, so I added thick tights, booties, and a leather jacket for a great fall look.
