The Space Between

Lately we have had some "Indian Summer" weather; welcome warmth after the initial cold snap. Even though I appreciate the sunshine I am so ready for cold weather clothes but on warm days, how do you find balance?

Exhibit A: Purple Haze.

Sweater: Old Navy. Belt: Thrifted. Shirt: Converse (Target). Skirt: Old Navy. Knee Socks: Can't Remember. Boots: Macy's.

This was my first time trying boots with knee socks instead of tights. I am a fan but it definitely only works with certain kind of weather.

Exhibit B: Preppy with a Splash of Red.

Shirt: Ralph Lauren (Thrifted for $1!!). Pants: Limited (Hand-me-over from a friend). Shoes: Thrifted for $1!! Purse: Boutique on Chincoteague Island, VA.

I wasn't sure about these shoes with cropped pants but I'd seem this look on a few fashion blogs and decided to give it a try. I LOVE this classic Oxford shirt and it's my new go-to shirt when I want to look sharp and don't have time to be creative. Even though I fought my mother's advice for years, it pays to have more classic then trendy in the closet!
