How Many Times.


This pin is my best friend. He is my little fox friend, and he hangs out with me on adventures and not-adventures. I suppose it's not very interesting to keep posting the same bits and bobs over and over, but it's a bit more honest in terms of chronicling a personal style. I don't want to say my little fox is my favorite one, because I don't want the others to feel bad about it, but I usually reach for him before anyone else. And are you sick of this scarf yet, or the chambray? 

Pin: Vintage, Bag: fieldguided 43rd parallel tote, Everything else: J. Crew throughout the years


This is also pretty typical of a non-blog outfit outfit. The kind I end up in on days when I don't feel like dressing up, but it feels wrong to throw on a pair of jeans and shirt by themselves. I've also found that I'm really interested in this vaguely borrowed-from-the-boys kind of outfit. The sad thing is that soon we'll all be swathed up in coats and things, but for now the weather is nice enough that a good blazer works wonders.

I love your scarves and chambray! I'm not the biggest bow-tie wearer... but you are pushing me to reconsider!

Joy Garofalo said...

I love this tom-boyish look you've had going on. I had every intention of wearing more skirts and dresses this fall, but lo and behold, the weather's gotten terrible, so I've been going for outfits more like these.

And I don't think anyone would blame you for favoring the fox brooch...he's adorable!

Chloe Trayner said...

This is such a great autumn outfit, I love the blazer on you especially paired with the chambray. The pin is the cutest touch, I love foxes and I don't blame you for picking up that little fella first every time!

Jessicat said...

i like your duck friend. and your outfit of course. but the ducks what gets me. and the fact that you say fox numerous times.

I think that part of the appeal of your blog is that you do repeat pieces often, but in different way. It makes me want to get rid of half my clothes and just wear the things I really love over and over, since you see to do it so well. I say wave the tried-and-true scarf with pride!

Celynne said...

I never get bored with anything you post. It's just an opportunity to see awesome items and outfits over again. The boyish look is cute on you, too. This is still way more stylish and dressed up than a lot of people so there's totally no shame in this!

Amber Rose, Laughing With Broken Eyes said...

I think this outfit is superb; there's so much visual interest. Hell, if I could dress this smashingly, it would be THE blog outfit.

And that little fox is absolutely adorable.

Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeys said...

I'm not at all sick of these outfits, especially not with the wonderful corduroy blazer!

I've definitely felt bad for seeming to play favourites among my animal shaped objects...

Clare said...

Great outfit, I love the colour combo and the fox is a cutie!

Dylana Suarez said...

Super chic outfit!

The brooch may have served as your lucky charm that's why you love it. There's nothing bad in wearing the same outfit. :)

i have a friendcrush on your little fox friend!

Kellie W. said...

Awwww, I love that brooch! I have a fox bag and ring that I've been wearing constantly lately.

Lauren said...

I just discovered your blog via Wayward Daughter. I've had a really great look here and appreciate your style, appreciation of colour, vintage and writing. The scarf is a really cute touch and your dress in the other post definitely has a cool
70s vibe to it, I think.

If you have some time, I'd really love you to check out my blog

Enjoy the autumn days designed for blazers.

Isn't the point of personal style to find things you love? Your little fox friend is perfect. and totally emblematic of your style. Don't put him away in a box!
