Today the wind was frosty, more leaves followed their friends in colors of red, orange, and yellow. I love seeing all the different shades beginning to appear when I ride the bus each morning and watch the sun's rising. Really autumn has barely begun, but today was one of its stronger bursts of beauty. I loved walking around outside for only a few minutes and feeling my nose turn red as the cold wind blew through my hair.
This outfit was so cozy and perfect for a day like today. It made me feel like Cassandra Mortmain from I Capture the Castle, which definitely added to my rather dreamy mood. (I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith, is, by the way, a really wonderful book. I highly recommend it!) I wore this shirt of my dad's as a dress here, and I talked about layering sweaters over it, but little did I think that the opportunity to do so would be just a week later!
Here's to fall and feeling like you jumped out of your favorite book,
xo,
