7:30am and dark


i cant believe how dark it is this morning! today i am so thankful for my husband because he brought me coffee in bed to help me get up. and today we are celebrating 7 months of being married, im so thankful!

my outfit today is very simple.

|basic black dress with ruffles from target| $19.99
|long cozy sweater from anthro-2 years ago| ?
|belt from anthro again from 2 years ago when i didnt have bills to pay| ?
|keen boots :)| free

today i decided to accessorize with my hair. keepin it simple.

i wanted to say that i am thinking about not purchasing anything and seeing what i can come up with from my closet only. maybe setting a time limit on it! i know that would make dan happy. :) there are so many ways to switch up your wardrobe, like finding a local consignment shop! there is one on my street, hawthorne, that i absolutely love. when i get bored, i just take a few items from my closet and either get store credit or cash.
the only place i am totally ok with going all out at is anthro! maybe i will get a seasonal job there...

love ya!

  1. is that the screen door sweater from anthro? i think i have the same one in beige... i wear it all the time.
    a year ago i decided to only shop used or handmade for a whole year... i've had to get a lot more creative with my outfits but it's fun! however, i did accept a lot of gifts/gift cards from anthro (i've been an anthro addict for over ten years... it's NOT good).
    anyway, you can do it... it's fun - i look forward to seeing the different outfits you come up with :)

    love the boots by the way

  3. I really like this look Katie. So you can tie in the brown belt and brown shoes with the black dress. Does that always work? Love your hair too.
    I need help finding some brown boots for this fall. Any ideas? chan
