20121107-180713.jpgThe time change and shortened days are really confusing me and messing with my photo-taking time! Now I end up staring at my own shadow on the wall. I really want to make up an imaginary conversation between me and my shadow, but (a) I am not Peter Pan, and (b) it’s late and I don’t feel like being clever.

Instead, I’ll tell you a trick that probably everyone else already knew except me: To keep my jeans from riding up when I slid on these boots, I put snug-fitting socks over my jeans first. It’s like I can see clearly for the first time…with my feet.

20121031-171514.jpgIt was really windy when we took these photos, so you’re looking at the select few pictures where I don’t have an insane-looking face with hair strewn across it.

Anyway, now that I’ve discovered how much I like layering button-down shirts and sweaters, I’ve found I don’t know what else to wear. I mean I have 6 or 7 button-down shirts and a couple dozen sweaters…there are so many permutations I can do! It’s so fun! But I’ve never been the type to have a go-to outfit or uniform, so I’m going to try to spread out all the options over the next few months. You guys have to keep me honest on this. If you notice me sporting this combo more than twice in a week, you have to call me out. But as long as it’s sporadic, you can go ahead and tell me I look awesome. And…go!
