'Tis the season of the Poncho

Okay, technically this isn't a poncho... but that's what all the non-patternmakers have been calling it these days. It's really just a wrap, which to me makes more sense anyways... 
since yah know, you wrap it around yourself...

But anyways, I LOVE IT. It was another thrift store find a couple weekends ago and its reversible, comfortable, and flat out fashionable!

I threw it on with some jeggings, booties, and a hand-me-down shirt from my older sis. (Funny story, my mom actually mailed me the shirt last week. Along with the shirt, the contents of the care package included 26 crochet hooks, 4 skeins of yarn, 1 bill, and 3 other shirts... this is what my life is becoming :P)

Fall Transitioning



Again, I've been seriously MIA... sorry!

But let's talk about how AMAZING it is that the weather is actually fall temps and we can actually wear fall things... during the fall. Well okay, this outfit isn't totally fall-y. But it's still transitioning from summer, and having clothes that work for both seasons is important anyways.
The scarf was a gift from a friend last christmas and I LOVE it! It's not actually an infinity scarf (I just tied the ends together to make it a loop!). The weaving technique used to make it adds volume and texture to the weave, and the colors are so great. The rest of the outfit was pulled together through the scarf.
Purple tank top underneath the blouse pulls out the scarf's purple. The blue accent necklace brings out the blue/ aqua tones, and the green vest with the green tones in the scarf.
To make it all the more fall-y, I threw on some moccasins. #1 because they're comfy, #2 because I'm lazy and they were the closest shoes to my door.

Fall is coming, and boy am I ready

Can you feel it?? The breezes are coming more frequently and the nights are getting chillier.... AKA fall is coming! My second favorite time of year (next to winter, of course) is autumn. 

I love the changing leaves that everyone takes pictures of, the cold winds blowing my hair everywhere, the layers on layers you can wear everyday, even those people that get pumpkin spice flavored everything! I think it's a wonderful time in general :) But we have a few more weeks before its fully fall, so for now I will just wear autumn-inspired outfits. 
You've all seen this vest before, obviously it is J. Crew and it is wonderful... look at all the pockets!
My blouse, bracelet, and jeans are consignment store finds, totally a whooping $12 together. 
The bag has been a favorite of mine, its from JustFab.com and it is pretty fab! Honestly I signed up for the website because it has 'fab' in the title, and I'm pretty much drawn to that word... But anyways the shoes are good quality for a season or two worth of wearing, and relatively inexpensive. Along with shoes, they sell accessories like this bag. It is HUGE on the inside and has many times held 5-6 textbooks and my laptop for my classes. Plus, it's cute! My sandals are from Target, and also really comfortable. They will be a good transition to my fall wardrobe.
      
My necklace is another 'Eva original'. I made it a few years back and was inspired by my Grandmother. She used to have a necklace with a clock on it. I'm not sure if it was because she didn't like watches, or figured it was stylish. Personally, I think its quite fabulous! What do you think??
