weekend wear

We had a long, casual brunch at Oxford Exchange on Sunday, and since I was feeling a bit sick I wanted to be as comfortable as possible, which of course required sneakers and a sweatshirt. I have this habit of living in pieces that I love, and this J. Crew sweatshirt is no exception. It is definitely my go-to weekend piece since it's so comfortable and perfect for throwing on with just about anything. 

dance in the rain

I was a bit under the weather this weekend and really wasn't up for much. My big Saturday night outing was running over to Village Health Market to grab some ingredients for chicken curry soup {recipe coming this week}. Of course, I got caught in the rain and the sun set soon after. But I did get to wear my Hunter boots, which spend most of their time hiding from my husband.

in a blur

 On Sunday we headed to the Farmer's Market then took the pups on a walk. I'm almost embarrassed to admit Tator is much better on the leash than his big sister, Lulu {maybe it's her deafness; it's more likely it's her personality}. It's hard to believe that just three weeks ago this harness didn't even fit him.

celebrate

I think I was more excited for my outfit on New Year's Eve than the festivities. That's normal right?

closet shopping

I have to admit that shopping in my closet is really not one of my favorite activities... however, sometimes I find something I was always pretty whatever about that suddenly seems like a must-have item. I've probably had "boyfriend" jeans in my shopbop cart 12 times and then bailed before hitting "confirm purchase" (something that actually happens more often than my husband would believe). Then I realized I purchased these Joe's Jeans from Anthro literally years ago, and they were always too straight-legged and a bit too big ... in other words, now they're perfect. After a bit of DIY distressing {I've since distressed them a bit more}, they're now being worn on repeat after years of neglect. 

feeling festive

It's that time of year: holiday party season. I spotted this peplum at Anthropologie, and knew it would be perfect for a few of our upcoming holiday festivities. Usually I prefer overdressed rather than under, but during the holidays it feels like almost everyone overdresses... so I like to switch it up a bit. I'll definitely be repeating this slightly shimmery top {especially since I can overindulge given the space provided by the peplum}.
