it's monday. i really tried for it not to be, but somehow it happened anyway. there's something about this time of year that just makes it impossible to get out of bed in the morning. after hitting snooze for the 100th time, i resigned myself to the fact that saturday was 5 days away and stumbled toward my closet to find a way to salvage the disaster that was staring at me in the mirror. seeing that it was 20 below outside, (read: 62 degrees) i made the logical decision to put on about 15 layers of clothes. i like to do this, so that by around 12pm when the temperature rises to 80 degrees, i can immediately start sweating like a camel. it's a fun ritual i have. you should try it.
sweat or no sweat (i'm not gonna lie, there was sweat) i was determined to own today's fall-inspired ensemble. so i braved the indian summer heat in my boots, and my scarf, and my coat, and my sweater. and dammit, i owned it.
