Army Green & Florals

jacket: the gap, dress & moccasins: thrifted, purse: vintage, thrifted, pin: rivertown revival fest

Staples: this army green coat and my wonderfully reliable vintage market bag. Oh, and let's throw in a floral dress and that basically makes this outfit. A comfortable one at that! I wore this a few days ago and I want to replicate it every day now! Unfortunately, It's been nice and warm lately, so wearing this jacket isn't exactly necessary. So I'll be saving it for Seattle. ;) I've been attempting to build my wardrobe up for the change in climate that I will be facing. I still haven't decided what all I'm bringing of my clothes, but I know it's going to be about layers layers layers. 

I have some exciting news! Next Thursday I will be hopping onboard an 8 hour flight across the United States to New York City! My second time ever being on the east coast, and my first time to the city! I will be flying there by myself and meeting Nicole with whom I'll be spending the weekend! I'm so thrilled to be able to have this experience in a city as famous as New York with a fantastic friend. :) I love that blogging has lead me to this! I would never have met Nicole or had this opportunity if I didn't blog and build the relationships I did through it. Life can be pretty extraordinary, don't you think? xx

  1. Beautiful! I always love combinations like that. Sweet, but with a bit of an edge:)

    And that is great news! Blogging is so much more than just posting a picture with a few words, it really leads to special friendships and all sorts of unexpected, but wonderful, things! Have fun:D

  13. Oh wow, I am so excited that you get to go to NYC! My mother and I are working on plans for a trip so that we can see the Broadway version of Big Fish as it is our all time favorite movie. Anyways, a light army jacket is absolutely essential for my transitional wardrobe, but recently I picked up a wool one that I hope to wear this winter! You look darling and I adore your lip color! This might be way off, but it looks like the color Rendezvous from the new Revlon balm stains.
