outfit post: sometimes simple is best

Sometimes simple is best.

I feel like this outfit is a combo of my absolute favorite basics in my closet right now.  There's my insanely comfy and soft chambray shirt, a cream lace top, and my fave skinnies at the moment.  And of course a pair of oxfords.  Kind of in love with them.

Also, if you think you see a bit of a sunburn on my chest...the answer is yes.  Our pumpkin and apple farm is crazy busy during the Fall, and I'm working outside everyday.  I'm learning the hard way that you can get burned even when on a cloudy, coolish day!  Blurgh.

Also, it's raining in these photos.  I know you can't really tell, except that's what those little flecks in my hair are (not dandruff...haha).  Hello Fall in the Fraser Valley I guess?  We've been alternating hot sunny days (today hit 24 degrees!), with overcast drizzly days....and it will likely just get colder and wetter as the weeks go by.  One nice thing about it is the lighting is nice all day!  Look on the brightside, right?

Hope you all had wonderful weeks!

outfit post: oxfords and elbow patches

So I found these gems amongst many a pair of scary second hand runners at Value Village.

Now they cost me a whole $8, which is a bit more than I like to spend while thrifting, but I can honestly say they were worth it!

I absolutely love the look of oxfords.  They are such a perfect fall shoe, paired with a lace dress, a cute skirt, or in this case cuffed pants!

Again, Kelsey helped me pick out this outfit.  I would never think to do cute things like layer a button up and a cardigan.

You may recognize this cardigan from Kelsey's post "fall transitions: mustard capris to pants".

Yet another matching sister outfit!!  We really need to stop shopping together, or not, since we are totally adorable when we match!

Once I went to the train station to pick Kelsey up, and we were both wearing: black skinny jeans, converse, the same shirt in different colours, the same necklace and a grey cardigan.

And no, we hadn't called each other that morning to coordinate...

I am absolutely in love with these shoes.  They are one of my new favourite fall items!

What's yours?
