Second Time's a Charm

Ok, so I know the sheer amount of photos here is kind of insane, but I figured I would show you what happens when a photo-shoot goes horribly wrong. On Saturday, Chris and I went out to breakfast and then out to take some outfit photos. I really wanted to go to the graveyard, to this place where I'd been dying to take pictures but needed a chaperone to keep me safe (it's a bit sketch). Somehow between leaving the breakfast place and getting to our photo locale, the wind picked up. It really picked up:

It was completely impossible to take a normal photo, or to just be able to see for that matter, as my hair was whipping around my head like a whirlwind. So, when these things happen, and I really love my outfit, I just re-take the photos. Sometimes it's for the better too, usually halfway through the day I add or subtract something form an outfit that- i feel- improves it:

Shawl: TjMaxx

Cardigan underneath: Swapped

Top: Swapped

Jean Shorts: Swapped

Tights: WalMart ($6)

Shoes: Matiko ($40 sale)

Necklace c/o Noble Town Vintage

So I added a cozy shawl over my cardigan and switched out necklaces and I like the effect. I've been obsessed (obsessed) with drapey cardigans, shawls, and sweaters lately, I found this one while on a covert gift shopping expedition on Saturday afternoon, it's super warm. I'm still without a winter coat, so I've been layering sweaters like a crazy old lady lately. I mentioned the Downtown Crossing Swap last week, I definitely picked up some gems, including the most perfect jeans-to-shorts which I've been searching for for a long time. These clothing swaps always come at the perfect moments, when I'm feeling uninspired they are the perfect way to jump-start a new season. It's beginning to get very cold here!

Did you have a nice weekend? I feel like the past few weekends have been nice, but I've also spent a good deal of time recovering from my work week. I think I just need to find the right balance. Happy Monday!
