Fall Festivities

Let me tell you, it only takes approximately one week of cold rainy or snowy weather to make you long for warmth again.  Yesterday provided a gloriously warm and sunny fall day that was much needed and appreciated. It is easy to take the sun for granted in Colorado, as usually even if it is cold, the sun is still shining bright; but not this past week.  However, if the weather could stay like it was yesterday forever, I would so be okay with that!
Outfit Details:
Shoes & Scarf: Vintage / thrifted
Tights: Marshalls
Jacket: J. Jill / thrifted
     So, here is my obligatory blogger post at the pumpkin patch!  It was a madhouse there, as are most pumpkin patches on a beautiful Sunday in mid October I assume.  I am still glad we went, but it was missing the treats, like apple cider donuts, that I miss from the East coast. Or maybe that would be at an apple orchard, not a pumpkins patch...hmmm, that would make sense now that I'm thinking about it...  There was a dinky little corn maze we wandered through, some farm animals to oggle (including a white miniature pony that looked EXACTLY like unicorn missing its horn), oh yes, and kittens! I am not quite sure what they had to do with anything, but there was a large play cage with two adorable pumpkin-hued kittens with a sign saying they had been adopted, hooray!
     I donned a comfy vintage rust colored dress (available in the shop) and a some polka dot tights for the occasion, and realized I didn't even need a jacket after a few minutes.  Also, I am not sure these shoes I thrifted last weekend are ever going to leave my feet ever again.  They are the perfect orangey-brown that you can pair with pretty much any color. Swoon. This week is going to be super busy for me because I am working my full time schedule in four days instead of five.  The reward will be a long weekend with R, my parents, and some awesome family friends spent in a beautiful cabin in Breckenridge!  It is also R's birthday weekend and I could not be looking forward to this little getaway any more!
      I am also excited to announce that today is my very first post over on the Flock Together style blog.  If you would like to know a little bit more about me, or just want to see some pretty Colorado scenery, I would love if you stopped by to say hi!
Hope you're week is off to a great start!

  4. The shoes are great, but my favorite part of this look are the tights! Fun!

    PS Its been unusually grey where too and makes me sad! Come back sun! (also the reason I could never live in Oregon; I love the sunshine too much.)

  8. Ah, amazing tights! You surely know I am adoring those beauties :) I love your pumpkin picking outfit lady. I'm going apple picking tomorrow and I have no clue what I am going to wear! Your boots are quite the find I must say though...and I'm thinking I shall go the boot route as well.

    Anyhow, lovely Flock Together post today. Sounds like your weekend is going to be a great one - going to a cabin sounds so quaint and charming! Have one lovely week! xo Marisa

  10. I need some fun tights! What a cute look- it's hard for me to imagine so many layers right now, we've cooled to the 80s in AZ :) I used to want to move to Denver so bad and we're seriously giving the idea of Colorado another thought (in a year or 2). I love when the weather is chilly and sunny but it may be a hard adjustment from 60-70 degree winters... Hope your week is off to a good start!

  12. Oh my! I love this color on you and your pumpkin patch looks so awesome! Ours look so much different. Our pumpkin patch had treats and candy and even hot dogs. But the apple orchard had the cider, caramel apples, kennel corn, little shops, and more of a festival vibe. So maybe, they are different from coast-to-coast?

  13. I wondered HOW and WHY you could be working a 10 hour day, but that makes sense! Still, yikes! Sounds like it'll be totally worth it come this weekend though. Can't wait to hear what cute plans you have for R's bday!

    Loved seeing your pumpkin patch post too! I mean, this is a mandatory fall activity. You have a leg up on me for sure with kittens though! Agh how adorable!! Can't wait to see your post on Flock Together too!
