Hi strangers! I am back from my Italian adventure, and it sure is bittersweet. The pros are: my bed and my closet. The cons are: everything else.
Outfit Details:
Sweater - c/o Oasap
Boots - c/o Oasap
Bracelet - Mitla Moda
Scarf - Target
Shorts - Vintage
Glasses - c/o Sunglass Warehouse
One of the best parts of coming back from a trip however, is opening all the mail and packages that arrived while you were gone. I was super excited to have this tribal sweater and these boots waiting for me, especially since I had been living out of a backpack for my two weeks in Italy! I loved how well the sweater matched my beaded bracelet from Mitla Moda too! I wore this when R and I grabbed lunch on a beautiful unseasonably warm day yesterday, which was the perfect welcome home before the FREEZING cold sets in later (I'm talking 72 yesterday, 16 degrees tomorrow!)
As for my trip, I absolutely loved Italy and would go back in a heartbeat! We saw so many beautiful places I can hardly even fathom how we did so much in such a short amount of time. Also the food. Wine and pasta. Wine and pizza. Pizza with pasta. Wine with more wine. I plan to do multiple posts on my trip after I get done going through all of my photos, but I thought I would start back up with a regular outfit posts because its been FOREVER! I also want to say a huge thanks to the lovely ladies who guest posted for my travel series while I was gone. It really helped me enjoy my vacation more not having to carry around a laptop or worry about putting posts up!
p.s. If anyone is currently doing a good cleanse, eating, or exercise challenge right now, please do share! Let's just say eating pasta and pizza almost exclusively in Italy catches up with you and I would love some motivation to be a bit healthier!
Oh Hannah, I love this outfit! Those boots are amazing, and that sweater is the perfect piece for fall. I actually started on Weight Watchers again a week ago!

Thank you Sammi! You definitely have to let me know how you like WW, I have never tried it but am definitely open to it! :)
DeleteWelcome back, lady! Coming home is definitely bittersweet, but at least you had those fun packages waiting for you! I love this color combo and I bet that sweater and those boots will get a lot of wear this winter. I've actually been obsessed with Zumba for a few months :) I tried it after Dus talking about it and it's so much fun. I've never been one to enjoy exercise but since this is more like dancing up a sweat I'm in- haha. I've definitely noticed I have so much more energy and don't need as many naps too, so that's a win!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa! Rob's mom actually just gave me some sort of dance video so I am going to try that out!!
DeleteThis is so good in soo many levels!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! :)
DeleteThat sweater is so fantastic! It's always fun to come home to packages (or just get packages in general.) I can't wait to see your travel pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to embark on a Whole30, which is REALLY amazing for clearing your body of cravings and getting rid of all those bad effects from eating junk food -- you can read all about what the Whole30 is here: http://whole30.com/step-two/ -- it sounds hard (you give up dairy, grains, legumes, alcohol, and sugar for 30 days and only eat meats/veggies/fruits/nuts/seeds/fats...) but seriously, at the end of the thirty days you feel so much better!
Welcome back!

Thank you Kristina! I actually did the whole 30 (or something very similar) last year and the year before, and was definitely thinking of trying it again! Let me know how it goes for you! :)
DeleteThose boots are amazing! And the christmas jumper looks so cosy :)

Thank you Jenna!
DeleteOh wow I love how quirky this look is! I love the combination of patterns and bright/toned colors! You really have so much personal style! Also, I agree--getting to go through all the packages waiting for you at home is such a great feeling!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! xx

Aw thanks Hoda! :)
Deletewelcome back Hannah!! I totally know that bittersweet feeling and think you summed it up pretty well on the pros : ). Haha pizza w/ pasta sounds like my worst nightmare in terms of weight, but I also have realized the past few months that I sure do gain weight easily from the carbs! And now you're getting me thinking about it a little bit, so thank you! Maybe I'll plan something out for myself to start being more intentional about my eating lately. If you want a motivational buddy to do something with let me know! that weather is just totally bizarre to me, but glad you could enjoy the nice weather while it lasted; I'm absolutely loving the print of that sweater w/ the fun vintage shorts & of course love that you included our beaded bracelet! Oh and yep, as Lisa said, Zumba/dancing is the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dus! If I figure out what kind of cleanse I want to do, or just a more general "healthy eating" thing, I would love a motivational buddy!
DeleteGlad to read that you enjoyed Italy! It's one of my favorite places to visit :) specially food-wise every restaurant is a good place! Can't wait to see more of your adventures. This cute sweater was waiting in the mail for you? What a nice welcome home :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that bracelet; I checked out Mitla Moda's shop, and everything is stunning. Your trip sounds like it was lovely; I've always wanted to go to Italy, in no small part because of all the pizza and pasta :)
ReplyDeleteAs much fun as vacations are, there is something super exciting about coming home to mail! Welcome back to US soil. This outfit is adorbs!
ReplyDeleteAH, glad you had packages to come back to, to cushion the blow of returning to "regular" life. Italia is so fantastic! Can't wait for your travel posts :)
ReplyDeleteNothing beats coming back home after a trip, I love the feeling when you first walk in the door. Love this look too! Everything about it screams autumn.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is SO awesome! I'm totally in love with each piece, including the tights :) Glad you had a happy travel, can't wait to see your photos from the trip!

I'm so excited to hear more about your trip!! This outfit is cute! I looked for some nice higher waisted shorts all summer but never found any :P
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, glad that you enjoyed your trip! How nice that you had those goodies waiting at home for you. I love how you've paired them up and such a sweet bracelet!
ReplyDeleteThis jumper is perfect, really love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your tribal sweater! Goes perfectly with the boots, and the shorts are a lovely color. So perfect for the season. It's pretty cool that you visited Italy! I'd love to visit someday and have some authentic pizza and pasta :).
