I loved this outfit, sadly the pictures do not do it justice. This is nothing against my amazing photographer, I just remember being super uncomfortable and in a rush when taking these because we were near a busy street.  (people kept walking in front of me and starring, as non-bloggers do, ha ha. Luckily no one was walking directly on the street behind me.) We had just finished checking out the Annual Scarecrows Along Main in Historic Wethersfield and it was fairly crowded because it was the last weekend before Halloween. 

As many of you know, I have social anxiety so taking photos in public is always a huge ordeal for me. Normally we try to do photos away from people, but I really wanted pictures in this outfit and it was getting too dark to go somewhere secluded (plus we went with my Aunt and Uncle and didn't want to take too long for them.)

Just imagine me looking happier and less awkward.

 

 

P.S. Did you know cheesy landscape sweaters like this are in style again this year! So glad I bought this a couple years ago when it wasn't as in, even though people said it was weird, ha ha! Goes to show - buy what you love even if other's don't agree, one day they'll be hunting for something just like it! Who wants to buy me this fun Sea New York sweater with sheep!? So cute. Shop some more below!

Christian decided to do some experimenting with these photos and I love the way they turned out! This Autumn Cashmere landscape sweater remains one of my favorite pieces in my closet. It's super soft and the print makes it fun! Perfect for an afternoon walk in the park. Right after we finished these photos the clouds rolled in so we caught the lighting at the perfect time! 

 

I brought my new Phillip Lim Pashli bag even though I didn't need it because it hasn't been worn yet (I bought it in September!) and I thought it deserved a proper blog debut! 

 

Sadly I can't find this sweater anywhere for resale BUT I was able to find a ton of similar styles on etsy and ebay!

The day after the wedding there was a gathering at a local winery for some chatting (and sampling for those that wanted to.) I decided to wear my Autumn Cashmere landscape sweater...AGAIN...because I thought it would be perfect for the location! I matched the burgundy in the print with my new rag & bone jeans from Santa. It was a lot colder this day and windy so we took these photos very quickly! My eyes were watering under my sunglasses and poor Christian was tearing up too. 

This was the perfect, laid-back end to the weekend. We got to chat with the bride and groom a bit more and relax. Sadly we had an 7.5 hour drive home after this, haha. Why can't we teleport?! Would make having a best friend so far away much easier! For now I guess we'll settle for meeting up a Disney or going on International trips together. ;)

I have such a backup of outfit posts that this one is from almost 5 weeks ago, wowza! Anyway, this is what I wore for a food blogger dinner at First & Last Tavern in Plainville! As was becoming tradition for these blogger nights out it was threatening rain so Lydia and I had to take our photos super quick. It was also pretty dark at 6pm so we were battling fading light as well.

I wanted to wear my Autumn Cashmere sweater with one of my favorite pairs of boots by Alexander Wang so that meant wearing super skinny jeans, which probably wasn't the smartest idea for a dinner event, but I was able to squeeze the food in! I've had these boots for 8 years now and my love for them has not faded. The color is amazing and I love all the small details from the open toe to the laces and ability to fold the top down.

Note: There was a version of the boots made for an H&M collaboration a few years after this so make sure you're getting actual high end ones if you want to recreate this look in the same quality. Or if you want a budget version, go for the H&M pair, just make sure you don't overpay for those! (I noticed The RealReal has the H&M boots listed for almost $400)

This Autumn Cashmere sweater is still a closet favorite. I wore it three times within two weeks and had to stop myself from wearing it to the pumpkin patch so I could get outfit pictures of something different. People think printed sweaters are hard to wear but I find them much easier because you can wear them with almost anything. This sweater has so many colors that it goes with many pieces in my closet depending on what color I want to coordinate with. I will probably try wearing this landscape printed sweater with a skirt next time!

When it comes to printed pieces I find that if I pick out one (or more) colors from the print to match that I can find a great outfit. In this case I matched the bit of burgundy with my purse and finished off with some grays.  I've also paired this sweater with a dusty blue and will probably try a pair of green-ish pants soon as well. You also can't go wrong with plain denim or black.

Told you you'd be seeing this Autumn Cashmere landscape sweater again soon! I wish I could wear it every day, but that would be a little much don't you think? This time I wore it with my patchwork boots because the colors all match. Might be a little odd but I think it's fun! Also decided to use my fun orange Louis Vuitton bag to pull out the orange in the sweater.
