Into the Mystic

Sweater:  TJ Maxx (similar here ~ under $20!!!), Shirt:  Madewell (similar here), Trouser Jeans:  Joe's (very old, similar here), Shoes:  J.Crew (old, similar here), Bag:  Marc by Marc Jacobs

I love mornings like this ~ the fog so thick on the lake that the rising sun appears hazy and mysterious.  Makes you wonder what the day will bring.  This kind of sunrise brings to mind one of my favorite Van Morrison songs:

"I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic"

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Sepia

Jacket:  Anthropologie (old, similar here), Sweater:  Forever 21 (very old, similar here), Pants:  Madewell, Shoes:  Tory Burch (old, similar here), Bag:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (LOVE LOVE LOVE this newer version)

I'm kinda obsessed with these printed cords that my mother-in-law got me for my birthday.  They are neutral, yet they make quite the statement. 

The different shades of brown remind me of the sepia filter on a camera.  I paired them with other neutral pieces here but I'm excited to wear them with some pops of color too!

This past weekend marked a major landmark in my life.  I turned 30!!!

My friends teased me for wearing all black saying I was mourning the passing of my twenties, but I'm actually excited to begin this new decade.  

I vow to make it even more exciting than the last!

Something Borrowed

Yes, a lot of what I'm wearing these days is borrowed from my in-laws.  We are still without power so my husband and I grabbed a few things and headed down to their house.  Lucky for me, the ladies in our family have FABULOUS taste!

What We Wore: Fall Remix Challenge

Hello readers!  Sorry for the hiatus ~ still no power/internet/cable/gas for my husband and me.  BUT our spirits are still high.  We are extremely fortunate that we had no major property damage.  Our hearts and helping hands go out to those who were not so fortunate.  

I'm hoping to go back to regular scheduled blogging starting on Monday.  Until then, please enjoy Jessica's Fall Remix Challenge that I participated in over on her fabulous blog, What I Wore.  Thank you Jessica for hosting the challenge and to Crystalin {author of another fantastic blog, In the City with Crystalin} for editing my photos.

Hope everyone is at least {somewhat} warm and safe!
