Friday Favorites

Ahh, I'm so happy it's Friday! This week has been great, but now that we're a little more settled, I'm excited to maybe do some exploring this weekend. These photos are some of my favorites from last weekend. While the early snow was strange for us, I think Zebby and Zephyr we're a little more confused. We have a lovely window in our new dining nook, and Zeb took some time to admire the snowfall from the kitchen table on Saturday morning. The kitties are very much enjoying their new home, with new stairs to zip up and down, and new wildlife to obsess over through the window (a wide variety of wild rabbits, one enormous groundhog, and some excessively friendly squirrels). We're all settling in nicely.

Thank you all so much for your incredibly kind and supportive words on my post last friday! I'm so excited to be working where I am, and so excited to see where Orchid Grey will go in the future. Hanna asked me what exactly my job entails, and basically my job is split in two: half my time is spent dreaming up blog posts for the ModCloth blog, and the other half is spent composing product descriptions (like this one). Any more questions? Feel free to ask!

ModCloth Rhythm & Boot: A little folk music

Yes, No, Navy Tunic c/o ModCloth

Today I Met The Perfect Boots c/o ModCloth

Hat, Belt, Necklace, Bracelets: Vintage

When ModCloth contacted me about styling an outfit around their very own "Today I Met The Perfect Boots", I was so excited. And then when I heard the details, that I would be styling a folk music themed outfit, I did a little dance. I love folk! Just like Maria, I was a little worried at first that my outfit wouldn't be "folk" enough, but then I realized that my fall wardrobe already is folk-inspired: it's warm, cozy, and a little bit vintage, just like the best folk music. So I went with that I loved: a blue tunic-dress, my favorite vintage belt, some cozy thigh-highs, and a vintage felt topper.

I also loved the challenge of styling an outfit around these boots, at first glance they don't scream "folk-sy" but I made it work. I balanced the black boots with a black cardigan, and everything just came together.
