I’m sure I’ve posted this outfit before, or at least something similar, but it’s one of my favorites, so it deserves repeating! I wear this or some version of this, to walk to breakfast or coffee with the family, or occasionally by myself to read a good book (I’m currently halfway through this one which I’m liking, but not loving, hoping it gets better– read a good review of it here).
Inspiration: the beautiful colors of the leaves changing around us — my favorites right now are rust, bright red, and maroon, all of which I feel look amazing with cream and beige (my wardrobe staples). Taking cues from nature all the way. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Fall is the best isn’t it? Also quick question, where do you get your lovely hats? Do you knit them yourself? I’ve been trying to find the perfect Fall/Winter beanie but no such luck, I may have to resort to knitting (which is not so bad but often leads to half finished projects)…
Kay, this hat was a Christmas present from Andrew last year, hand knit from Everything Golden:

I’m sure if you email Maria (who runs the shop) she can point you in the right direction (either to the maker, or to the pattern). She’s very helpful and maybe will restock them soon! I would love mine in another color as well! It is super soft and fits very well.
I’m maybe 3/4 of the way through Purity and it hasn’t grabbed me like Freedom and The Corrections. But I’m afraid it may have been the interview I heard with him and Terry Gross that made me like him a whole lot less. Now Franzen the person is ruining Franzen novels for me, I’m afraid.
Interesting, Rachel! I haven’t heard anything about Franzen, but that doesn’t sound promising. I find it really hard to enjoy someone’s work if he/she turns out to be a huge jerk. 🙂
Thanks for the suggestions! I will keep my eyes out for similar hats. On the topic of books, I just finished Lydia Millet’s Magnificence, it is a relatively quick read but not without beautiful prose. I’m waiting on my library’s copy of The Heart Goes Last (Margaret Atwood) and some works by Joy Williams. As for the above comment, my husband got about 10 pages into Franzen’s Freedom and lost interest. Oh well…
I just read The Turner House and loved it (east side Detroit family story). I also just got turned onto Christopher Moore. He has a new one, but I am reading A Dirty Job from 10 years ago. I am really digging it (dark, funny, fantastical).
Great ensemble, esp the peekabo rust tights!
