taking the long way

hi, friends!

my post this week is all about comfort and style! as much as i love an over-the-top bohemian look, i am overall pretty practical when it comes to my daily style. i wore this look or some variation of it for about 3 days straight because the hat came in the mail and all i wanted to do was dress like a park ranger (stay tuned…one of these variations might appear next week.) to me, an oversized sweater, boots, and jeans is the perfect fall weekend look.

hat – bailey’s of hollywood via free people see also here; lipstick – mac heroine; sweater – rag & bone {old; similar here}; scarf – madewell (on sale!)

it was cold and rainy when delaney and i shot this, but i was actually pretty comfortable overall. sometimes we forget that hats are extremely practical and serve a purpose besides being fashion accessories, and they really are quite useful in winter when the weather is less-than-favorable. this sweater i am wearing was one of those items i just had to have; i got it on sale last year and ended up getting it in a size too big because i couldn’t live without it. fit is very important, but the heart wants what the heart wants. it’s big, and cozy, and perfect, so i stand by my decision. the key with making a big sweater wearable is playing with proportion. the easiest way is to be sure to pair it with skinny jeans on the bottom to balance out the volume on top. i also love to wear my oversized sweaters over a pretty slip for a fun tomboy-meets-girly power play along with some tights, thigh-highs, and boots.
