Perfectly Grey

(this face was requested by Chris, who is currently, at this very moment, serenading me with the Gilmore Girls theme song)

It's not much of a secret how much I love these grey November days. Diffused skies, cold air, soft light, a cozy sweater. A hat that has clearly -- judging by the hole and extra furs -- been enjoyed by a cat.

My Monday through Fridays are so busy that I rarely dress up these days (also, I'm lazy and take too long to get ready in the morning), so when the weekend rolls around I'll take any excuse to actually utilize the other 90% of my closet. And I just love these colors together... black, olive, and the perfect marled grey sweater. Soft and diffused, just like those skies, and the perfect length for cute mini skirts.

A Walk Around The Wissahicken

Our hiking plans for the past few weekends have been thwarted by one thing or another. Car trouble, waking up late. General unpreparedness. We had big plans to drive further North, but ended up on a low-key ramble around the woods of the Wissahicken. Not exactly the all-day hike I was looking for, but gorgeous in the late-autumn sun nonetheless. My Amazon cart is now brimming with hiking and outdoor guides for Eastern Pennsylvania, because there is always next weekend.

I'm happy it's finally hat weather. Makes covering up the mess on my head all the easier, and thanks to Lyndsay from The Seam Designs, I can finally stop stealing Chris' red beanie. Because I'm in complete and total love with this one. Red hats, they're the best, right? Even better with a pom pom. I have another outfit post for this week featuring it, proving that red is far more versatile than one might think.
