    The weather has been much cooler than usual here in California and it’s been difficult finding things to wear. Since this type of weather only last for a month or two, every year I forget to buy appropriate clothing. In order to survive the cold, every day I end up wearing the same 3 sweaters, and about 5 layers of my warm weather clothes. However, since I’m thinking about moving to a state where you can actually notice the changes in the season, I’m slowly trying to build up my cold-weather wardrobe. Luckily for me, my sister gifted me this beautiful plaid flannel for Christmas. It’s really comfortable, and it definitely does a great job at keeping me warm without the need of any additional layers. Another thing that I love about this plaid flannel is that it has a cool, casual and outdoorsy lumberjack vibe to it.
    I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and happy holidays, if you happen to participate in the festivities during this time of year. I had 4 days off of work, including the weekend, and I’m not ready to go back today. Many of my friends are in the area during this time of year, and all I want to do is hang out with them and drink coffee all day long. Luckily for me, I only have to work two days out of the week and then I get another short vacation.

    If you’ve been reading some of my previous posts, you might remember me complaining about how the weather was over 100 degrees. Well, I’m happy to say that weather finally cooled down a bit this weekend, and I quickly jumped at opportunity to put on an outfit that seemed somewhat appropriate for fall. One of my favorite parts about this outfit has to be this boxy crop top from Forever 21. It’s made out of comfortable terry material, and it has a really cool geometric pattern that reminds me of one of those mazes you find inside a coloring book. Just looking at the pattern almost makes me want to take a pen, and start tracing out a path.

     

    Life has been pretty busy for me lately, but in a good way. I really love having so many fun and creative projects to keep me busy. I’ve been working on learning how to sew, and making items to sell on my Etsy shop. I know that I’ve been talking about opening up an Etsy shop for a while, but I kind of underestimated how much work it would be. I also feel like I’m making all these random items, but really don’t know how to piece them together. I really want to make it a goal to get my shop up and running by the end of next month. On that note, I really wish I had more hours in the day to dedicate to all of my hobbies, but I guess that I’ll just have to take advantage of my free time on the weekends.
    I hope your week is off to a great start!

    P.S. I have to confess that my favorite thing about this outfit has to be the light blue socks that I’m wearing, because they have donuts and sprinkles on them. My sister Ale got them for me because she knows how obsessed I am with quirky things like that. If you look closely enough, you’ll see them peeking through in between my boots and the hem of my jeans.

    Although I love how fun and lively summer usually is, I’m ready for a change in season. L.A. is experiencing an intense heat wave, and it has been over one hundred degrees all week. It’s supposed to start cooling down in the next few days, and I never thought that I’d be as excited as I am about ninety-degree weather.
    Over the weekend, I found these outfit photos that I took earlier this year, but never got around to posting for some reason.  When looking at them, I can’t help but to think about how much I like this outfit and how I would like to wear it again once the weather cools down. It also makes me think of all of the other pieces in my wardrobe that have been collecting dust because it’s just too hot to wear anything at all. I’m really ready for fall to arrive so that I can bring out all my sweaters and boots, and so that I can have some time to recover from this intense heat wave until the next one arrives.
