I don’t know exactly when it happened, but I’ve become a loafers person. The rest of my style hasn’t changed a whole lot – a couple years ago, I would have worn this same outfit from head to ankle, but with 3″ heels. Now I wear it with adorably nerdy penny loafers. I feel like classic menswear loafers with a feminine outfit is a very Parisian look, which is peut être why I’m drawn to it.

Or maybe it’s my bad back and the unstoppable train to old age and death we’re all on that makes me crave anything to make this painful thing called life more bearable.

Nah, probably just the cute French thing.

I was going to call this “1 Dress, 2 Seasons,” but that’s not really accurate. Both outfits were technically worn in the fall, it’s just that Key West’s “fall” is still 80+ degrees. And let me tell you, this 4-day excursion to paradise was just the short and sweet vacation I needed!

I mean, sure, I was a little bummed to miss the peak of fall foliage at home in Indiana. But it turns out it’s pretty easy to get over that when there’s a daiquiri in your hand.

If you’re interested in seeing more of what I was up to in the Keys, you can see a few photos on my Instagram. But highlights included: a kick-ass resort, a drag show, petting cats at the Hemingway home, gorgeous sunsets, and lots of fresh Mahi-Mahi.

Look, there’s me, letting loose on vacation. I’m such a party animal.
