Serotonin

derp

Lately, the marine layer has not been burning off by the beach, which has enabled the "sweater weather" ensemble. As a southern california native, I am very conflicted with "cold" weather. Although I love the year round sun, I also get bummed when I am unable to dress all cozy in layers. 

I know there is not much to this outfit, but it was a gloomy afternoon in Santa Monica and I thought it was appropriate. Ok, maybe booties aren't beach appropriate but it wasn't beach weather anyway. This outfit consists of a bright coral chunky knit sweater I snagged at the Topshop sale a while ago. The color of this sweater is a little overwhelming, so I kept the look sweet and simple with my go-to Sam Edelman booties and some old ripped up jeans. The bright color was definitely a pop on such a gloomy  day. 

As for the title, I am really content with my life recently. I've really learned this week that everything does happen for a reason and you may not know it now, but there is good in everything. I think you should also listen to the song Serotonin by the Mystery Jets.

Hope you enjoy!!

Lately

Spring semester is in full swing and once again, I have severely lagged on posts lately. So I thought I would include a brief update along with this outfit post.

As for the outfit, I have finally been able to dress for "cold" weather again! I live in Los Angeles, so when I say cold I mean mid sixties; I know, brutal. I started off with an asymmetrical striped sweater from Urban Outfitters (thrifted) under my favorite studded military jacket. I picked up the pants at the Zara sale and I love the dark wash with the zipper pockets. I topped off the look with thee Stuart Weitzman 5050 boots and some simple gold jewelry. 

I have been having such an amazing semester so far just hanging out with friends and exploring more of the city. If you would like to get a glimpse of these wondrous activities, my instagram is linked to the left. I did include some photos of my recent trip to the DVF Journey of a Dress exhibit, just for you.
