fall forward

neutrals and flowers
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.

  1. Dumb winter needs to leave already.

    I'm loving your sweater! And of course I want to go through the screen and run off with your bag.

  2. Love the sweater! It's still winter here (northern Germany) too so I feel your pain. I'm ready for bright colored skirts and dresses!

    1. I did! I've been going gradually back to blond. I think one more process and we'll be all the way there!

  6. That cardigan is amazing! It's getting steadily warmer here, so maybe I can send you some heat to melt off all that snow :P

  11. I AM EXTREMELY JEALOUS of this thrift find! Such a cute cardigan. And fall is the best season, so oh well ;) And yes, what is up with this winter weather? Rain turning to snow here today. I want to fly away and never come back!

    Have a great weekend!

  12. Hahaha, you always amuse me, and I love your hair. I feel like I've commented on it multiple times. Whatever. It never hurts to hear that you're having a good hair day. Right? Oh, and can you please take me thrift shopping? I'll sing "Thrift Shop" to you and everything.

  13. Sounds like people don't want you reminding them that spring isn't really here yet :-) That cardigan looks so good with your coloring, though.

    Also, I like that you shot these at sunset (or sunrise, but I'm guessing sunset). I'm still figuring out how to get good photos at that time of day.

  14. Franish - you look so stunning in this outfit! Of course, I think you look great most days but the cardigan in this post really flatters your coloring and build. Just perfect!

  15. Your hair cut/color is so pretty. Did you even change the color? I don't know. I don't care. You look so pretty. <3

    I read your features, and I am sad that you don't like neon. I mean, I don't like it in large quantities (like J's-Everyday-quantities), but I do love my neon magenta purse and a good little neon detail!

    It's okay though. We can still be Internet friends.

  16. maybe the fall comments are because of the color combo? tan and red remind me of fall. Either way, that sweater is beautiful!

  17. If I didn't hate the heat so much, you might think i was bragging that it hit 90 degrees here yesterday. :-S

    You look fantastic - those warm colors are perfect for your complexion, and I'm loving your hair color!

  18. Cool features! Fun to see high school pictures too, much cuter than mine with big bangs.....

  20. I enjoyed both guest posts - that blond hair makes me wish I could pull it off. As for brown sandals - those are all I wear in the summer, def worth dropping a lil money on...

  21. This colour mix suits your complexion very well, you should wear more orange!:)

  22. Love that sweater (I'm a fan of patterns and burnt oranges, so it's right up my alley). It goes great with your (beautiful, perfect) bag (of my dreams). Lookin' good, as always!

  26. You look so pretty and professional here! I love it! I think my sister has a sweater like that from Target. I used to have several like that from Express in Jr. High in bright pink and purple and blue. Oh how I would not be caught dead in that stuff now. But I love the neutral beauty of this cardi!

  28. YOU DO LOOK LIKE FALL.

    Did I tell you that I saw that WHBM has a cardigan that looks just like this and I immediately thought of you when I saw it in the catalog? I took a pic and was going to text it to you but then thought that it wasn't important enough so I'll just leave it as a comment, LOL here it is.
