So, apparently in Illinois it gets dark before five. Crazy? I think so. Especially since it's still over a month until winter solstice. It's going to be a dark winter, I think. Both literally and metaphorically. I'm trying to remain optimistic about the eternal snow, though. That's a lie. I'm freaking out. Maybe it will end up being not so bad.
I loved this outfit! The pictures didn't turn out epic, though, because of the aforementioned darkness. I didn't want to waste my Halloween outfit that I had refashioned, so I cut the sleeves off the jacket, hemmed the armholes, and wore it for a vest. Chase told me I looked semi-hipster, which I took for a compliment. :)

We lived in Illinois for three years, yes it was as cold and dark as you are imagining. Now we live in Pennsylvania, it is still dark and cold!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit too! I like the green paired with the black and white instead of brown like most would think to do :) great look today!

That outfit is adorable, and I totally hear you about the getting dark before five: I live in Michigan and I hate fall-back because it gets SO dark here now! But luckily I love the winter (just not the darkness!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, winter is a long, dark time. And then it snows in April. But it's not 110 for three straight months so it's a trade-off.
ReplyDeleteI love snow during the winter but don't like short days! Great casual look!
