Mother Nature is Confused

day27

Just when I think its fall, it decides to go right back to summer.  I swear, you just never know.  Which is why I haven't officially changed out my wardrobe from summer to fall/winter.  Mother Nature isn't very dependable.

In order to stay cool on an unusually hot day I decided to wear my newly altered blouse (last seen here).  I posed a question to you guys back in July to find out if I should shorten it or not and decided that I'd give it the chop.  I took off about 5 inches from the bottom and then shortened the sleeves about 1 1/2 inches.  I like the way it came out, but it is odd for me to be baring even a fraction of my tummy.  But I like the look!

To go with the blouse I figured I'd just mix it all up with different garments from different decades.  The blouse is from the 80s, the belt is a vintage Jorache from the 90s and the shoes are from the 70s.  It's all over the place as far as vintage goes, but it seemed cohesive in a way.  I kept the look modern with my bell bottoms which were thrifted H&M jeans and then the floppy faux suede hat.

Blush











It's no surprise to anyone who reads this blog that blush pink is one of my favorite
colors. So of course I was instantly obsessed with this cape cardigan! It is the
perfect transition piece into Fall, great for days that are breezy and cool. Anyways,
I wore this on Saturday for adventures around the city with my dear friend
Laura visiting me here in Philly! We had an amazing brunch at this amazing all-
organic place and then did some shopping around the city. It was such a wonderful
weekend spending time with my bestest friend!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!
