Bob Dylan's Shoes

I am pretty obsessed with this jacket. I bought it at Nordstrom for $88, and it's super heavy and warm. It's kind of rare to find a really cute jacket (in my opinion) that's still super warm under $100. Trust me, coming from Alaska, I've given that search a damn good try. I'm definitely wearing this jacket back home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm pretty confident I'll stay toasty warm. Not that I go outside for longer than necessary when I visit home in winter - But still!

Speaking of obsessions, I'm kind of also obsessing over these shoes. Not just these shoes, but any shoes even shaped like this. It's not exactly a new obsession, but it's one that gets a resurgence in fall/winter. Shoes like these always remind me of Bob Dylan. I know I've talked about how much I love his music, but I think it's also pretty plain to see I draw a lot of inspiration from him style wise. When I think about it, most of my style icons are boys. Weird? Maybe. Anyways, it's gotten to the point where, if Matt is over and I ask him to get out my "Bob Dylan shoes" it takes him a few tries because about 50% of she shoes I own are referred to as my "Bob Dylan shoes". Long story short, I love a good pair of shoes I could see a male musician wearing from the 1960s-1970s.

Where do you draw some of your shoe inspiration from?

No Girly Girl

Today has been a pretty great day so fare. Granted, I have only been awake for about 2 1/2 hours, but the fact that I finally got to sleep in is just more validation that today is going to be a good one! I woke up to a text from my friend (Hey Kacie!) that our night class was cancelled, and I am so relieved! I feel like I have done nothing this past week but walk all over town in a hurry, clean up my apartment, and sit in a desk for hours on end listening to lecture! Needless to say, class being cancelled tonight was a very welcomed surprise. As for the rest of my day, it's going to be pretty casual and laid back, and I wanted my outfit to reflect that. I like the effortlessly cool look. Most of the time when people compliment my outfits, they say that I look really "cool", and to me, that has always been a way better compliment then "cute"! I guess you could say I'm no girly girl. That's why on days where I can dress however I want, I go for skinny jeans, androgynous shoes, a basic top, and a jacket with leather somehow incorporated - Perfect outfit for a great day!

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.
