I was so excited when this popped up on my Vinted feed, because I had been wanting one for so long! A knit sweater from JW Anderson's 2012 collaboration with Topshop, with the cat eyes graphic. Obviously perfect for me since I love cats, Jonathan Anderson, and old Topshop. I had been searching for one of these sweaters on every secondhand site, but they're pretty hard to find and when I do find one, it's usually listed for at least $100. So when I saw this one on Vinted for only $27.25 ($34.45 after shipping and fees), it was an instant purchase. I will still keep an eye out for the other sweaters from this collab, which had other fun and spooky motifs: a ghost and a bat! I especially want the ghost. Alexa Chung was also a fan, seen wearing the bat sweater multiple times. Unfortunately, it is almost May now, which means I will have to wait about 5 months for the temperature to allow me to wear my new sweater. Just another reason to look forward to fall.

Self portraits that I had taken late one night about 6 months ago and have been living on my memory card ever since. Shot on my Canon Powershot on the floor behind my dining table, for no reason more than I just wanted to show some appreciation for this Wildfox star print Lennon sweater.

  As the title suggests, this OOTD is from about a month ago. When it comes to the warmer half of the year, I am the opposite of most people. It makes me miserable. I always dread the day the clocks jump forward an hour. It affects my mood so negatively, exactly how others might feel during a cold, dark winter. I prefer that cold, dark winter so much more than warm sunny days. When spring comes around, I mourn the coziness I felt since the early sunsets began that past September. As an attempt to make myself feel better about the end of my favorite half of the year, I decided to put on a cute outfit and take the bus into Philadelphia for the day.  I wanted to make sure I wore something simple but still stylish and cool. Ripped Alexa Chung for AG skinny jeans, striped long sleeve, and a black blazer. No matter what I wear, this Alexander Wang Rocco bag will make sure that I look stylish and cool. It's definitely my go-to bag, you can just never go wrong with a leather stud...
