OOTD: Oversized Stripes




Montreal has finally experienced the inevitable drop in temperature (one of many) that signals the beginning of fall.  During the summer, it's not necessarily colder in this city than it is in New York or Boston - but once September rolls around, the temperature takes a nice swan dive into autumn.  Not the dreadful dive it takes in November, though.  That is when Montreal suddenly becomes ten degrees colder than my hometown in Rhode Island and remains that way throughout the winter (unless it's twenty degrees colder, in that case please kill me.)

So, I decided to try out this outfit combination the other day thinking that I wouldn't freeze my legs off.  I mean, they stayed on.  But I was itching to go home and throw on some pants, or like twenty blankets.  I have a low tolerance for these kinds of things - don't ask me why I moved to Canada. Speaking of my legs, were they always that white? (thanks, mom and dad)

Also, can I just say - why is it that when other bloggers or models wear oversized outfits they look dainty and chic (somehow) and I look the size of bear in the big blue house? Just an observation.  Still not sacrificing that comfort, but you know.

    Cute outfit! It's still pretty warm in California so I'm dying to start wearing fall clothes!

    I love this stripe sweater, and it looks so cute with the skirt! I'm also always cold, and I grew up in Burlington, VT. You would think that I'd be use to the temps in Boston, but no. I don't think I could handle Montreal!

      Oh no, Boston is definitely better than Montreal in terms of climate! Thanks for stopping by :)

    Haha you do not look like the bear in the big blue house! This outfit is adorable but I do not know how you survived through this shoot with that skirt on - I would be freezing! I wore a sweater and leggings to work in NYC today and I was cold ahha

Okay okay okay okay so while I skip things like the usual drudgeries about how sorry I feel for neglecting the blog lately, I might as well jump to some updates and things. Dress - LA Hearts / Shoes - Birkenstocks / Halter Bra - Urban Outfitters / Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs I could easily attribute my absence to the fact that yes, I am in university and yes, I did just go through a grueling month sprinkled with term papers and final exams.  I also could add the fact that I just recently moved myself two blocks eastward to a new studio apartment and then started another summer class.  Either way, here I am.  Back to blogging.  Sigh. This past weekend I flew down to the lovely (and warm!) North Carolina to visit my family and get some Vitamin D.  While down there, I did a bit of shopping (hooray for visiting parents) and that's when I saw this adorable dress.  So, these are some photos that were taken yesterday as I traversed around spending a lovel

OOTD: September Sun

It's good to be home.  I'm happy to be back in familiar surroundings and settled into my old apartment that I left for the Summer.  Being back with Isaac is obviously a plus as well.  I've actually been back for a while but unfortunately came down with a terrible cold so the first days here were spent in bed binge watching Netflix and sipping tea.  Anybody else really into the TV show Gotham right now? Today was absolutely gorgeous as well so Isaac and I ran out to do some errands and shot some photos while out.  Also! I've decided to start vlogging (just like...every other blogger out there at this point) so stay tuned for my weekly vlog! It'll be coming out sometime next week.  I'm also spending time rearranging my apartment a bit so I'm hoping to get out some content related to that soon. I'm totally loving this outfit too right now.  This shirt is vintage and needed some major TLC (missing buttons, a few holes) but I was able to fix it up and it
