Slouchy beanies aren’t really the type of hat I normally buy myself, but every once in a while I’m getting dressed and realize that’s exactly what I need to complete my outfit. Luckily, my other half happens to have quite the collection of beanies. I can go into pretty much any room of our apartment and find a colorful knit hat lying around. (We don’t clean up much. We’re too busy being awesome.) On this particular day, I didn’t ask her permission because she wasn’t home yet, but I was wearing this on a date so I figured she should have no complaints that I stole her hat in order to look more adorable. (She didn’t.)

Have a good week, everyone!

As usual, this fall I got a fun new coat to ease the transition into chilly temperatures. My cold-weather wardrobe needed more pastels in it for sure. I’m totally happy with this purchase, although I did learn one thing the hard way: this lovely minty number is more of an above freezing coat. Not that it’s completely ineffective, it’s just more of a structured thick sweater than a coat. This fact became very apparent when I wore this outfit in 14-degree wind chills. Like Alanis Morissette told us: you live, you lerrrrn.
