Nonsense

Thrifted skirt & cardigan, H&M top, Handmade scarf, Steve Madden booties, French Connection bag

This past weekend was great. I went thrifting, finally made some Halloween decorations (DIY coming up), and baked burned some pumpkin chai cookies. Most importantly - temperatures finally dropped!

I packed away my summer clothes and said goodbye to my pasty legs. I love dressing for the colder months but hate cold weather, which makes about as much sense as reading fitness magazines while eating cookies and drinking wine... which is how I spent my Sunday night. 

Pin It!

  18. You always make me laugh! Get this- I set out my outfits for the week- all cute and comfy, and the damn weather is going back up to the 80s. WTH?!

    I agree with both sentiments at the end of your blog. I hate cold weather, but love the clothes, and I have been known to read healthy cookbooks or diet books while eating terribly delicious foods. We are awesome!

  19. Love the booties and maxi skirt. For some reason combining those two pieces makes me think of Stevie Nicks, in a good way!

  20. I LOVE your scarf :) :) :) Handmade, jealous, it is so cute!!!!! Your bag is amazing as well!

  21. I like how you spent your Sunday night! Sounds good to me! Bummer about the cookies, they sound like they would be good! I love your cowl neck scarf, I really want one for this winter, I just have to decide on a color! And I also love your bag!

  25. Like you I too dislike cold weather, but I adore dressing for a colder climate, especially gloves and scarves are my favourite! Love this outfit, it's cosy, yet polished.

    Man, I completely understand. I love fall clothes, but I hate being cold :) On another note, I've been trying to figure out how to "winterize" my gray maxi skirt and your post just gave me some great ideas - thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I loove this look!! That grey maxi skirt is amazing and perfect with the striped top and mustard scarf. Fall dressing is definitely my favourite, I just hate how insanely cold it gets where I live

    ReplyDelete
  28. LOL Indeed. I hate cold weather, but you know in the summer I'm whining about when it's going to get cooler and the second that the temperatures reach mildly uncomfortable I'm missing summer. Love your stripes and scarf!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I just got a maxi skirt this past weekend. Thanks for the inspiration on how to wear it!

  37. Haha I feel the same way about winter and winter dressing! A favorite pastime of mine is eating a large burrito while watching America's Next Top Model, which I am pretty sure tops your fitness magazine in terms of not making much sense! Love this cozy scarf!

  56. I can't wait to see your Halloween DIYs--I've been really lazy in the Halloween decorating department this year! You must have sent the warm weather my way, because it's going to be in the 80s all week. I THOUGHT I was done with my summer clothes!

    Haha sounds like a great Sunday night to me! I am the same way, fall and winter fashion is my favorite but I hate the cold weather that comes along with it. I love your skirt, this outfit is great inspiration for me as I've had a tough time outfitting my jersey knit maxi for fall.

  65. Those cookies sound delicious and I love the pop of yellow.

  66. I'm SO with you! I love all the aspects that come with fall but I hate being cold! I love the layers and the hot chocolate and the warm showers... Everything that lessens Fall if you think about it but I still love it! There's nothing like that damn crisp air. And everyone is more cheerful. And warm snuggles. I love your outfit (as always). I haven't seen a chunky cowel scarf before! Or, if I have, it hasn't registered. They've always been weeny. Yours is like, BAM. LOVE ME.

  67. I have a black maxi skirt that I'm wondering how to style, so I'm definitely going to steal this outfit from you!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Lucky you. I'm jealous of the bloggers who's been posting about gorgeous layers and fall weather... The closest we get to that would be in December. :(

  76. I really love your scarf. The color pops out so nicely against the black & white color scheme in the rest of your outfit.
    Also, pumpkin chai cookies sound so tasty. Too bad they were burnt! I'm sure they'll turn out perfectly next time!
