I think the general consensus among my friends right now is that I need more green items in my closet. It's not a color I'm typically drawn to, but ooh, that is a-changing.

I realize it's a little ridiculous to have more than one puffer jacket, but I feel like now, with the three I have, I'm done buying them (face palm). I have one "sport" puffer (Eddie Bauer) and two "fashion" puffers (H&M and Oysho) and that seems to be what I reach for. Today is a bit of a chill outfit, but looking out at the ice and snow I know that just by switching out the boots for a waterproof variety, I'd be ready for pretty much anything.

Today's outfit is a bit of a funny one. When I first pulled all the pieces together I felt a little too "dressed up" for a Sunday, but after a few minutes of thinking about it I realized that if these are just pieces I have in my wardrobe, lying around to be worn, then I'm not dressing up. I'm just dressing as me.

Now this very coordinated approach might be some of the best I can do dressing as me, hahaha, but it's not special just because of that fact.  It's hard sometimes to push back against DC's kind of rigid sense of style, and my own recently developed love of athleisure, but this was a look I felt cool in, and was comfortable to wear, so I'm proud to share it.

Told 'ya you'd be seeing this jeans + booties pairing again. They've taken a bit more effort to break in than I'd like, but: WORTH IT.

The cost of this outfit post is at least $68, since that's the estimated cost to repair the LCD screen that broke when the wind knocked my tripod back (+ shipping). I'm pretty salty about this, but I'm going to try and find joy in the fact that this outfit, which took me longer than I'd like to admit to put together, makes me very happy.

I'm having a hard time with my wardrobe lately, I'm continuing to feel like less and less of it fits the person I want to be while also finding nothing else out there in the stores to replace it with, but today, this sweater/jeans/loafer combo feels very much like me.

You know, despite the f*cking cost I'm going to have to bear to share it.

While I would not call this particular combination "interesting", I wanted to share it because it's also a great example of how I dress day-to-day. A simple button down that's upgraded with a few fun details worn with a comfy pair of jeans and I'm done. And happy. I wouldn't even say that I'd prefer a closer fitted shirt or tucking this one in - both things I have/could do. Really it's just a slightly different version of this look, which works for me haha.
