fall forward

Happy Friday! Today you can find me in two different locations - here you can learn a little bit more about me, blogging, what I looked like as a high schooler, and my closet and here you can learn about the three things I'm hoping to add to my closet this spring.


Other than that, not much to report. Three people told me that I look like fall today - even though these are flowers and not trees! Oh well,  like I've bitched about, it's still winter here so it's only appropriate-ish.

all i wanna do is

A few weeks ago the Midwest Prep wrote a post about what she's learned about layering, and she mentioned that she finds it easiest to wear a silky/thin shirt under a thicker sweater - you may not even have to wear a tank in between! I wanted to try this (obviously) but it wasn't until I saw Bri's post about layering her thin metallic polka dot shirt under a sweater that I kind of remembered that I wanted to try it.

So here I am...trying it. It works pretty well so if you aren't too keen on the tank in between trick, try a thin button up under a thicker sweater.

Also, I apologize for the ish quality of these pictures. This was moments before it started to basically hail, so good lighting was not on my side. Spring, feel free to join us at any time!

German Professor

Chambray: Old Navy  (in tall) 
Blazer: H&M

Walking out of work today, I realized my outfit today is something my favorite German professor used to wear. So either that’s awesome, or incredibly lame.
