Well, it must officially be fall in Seattle because it is damn blustery! Katie Marie V and I set out to Discovery Park on Sunday and thought we would be totally fine to do a photoshoot there since it had been a pretty dry morning. We were there for all of 15 minutes when the wind picked up, the rain started pouring down, and we realized we had perhaps been a bit too optimistic! We essentially ended up being blown away and were soaking wet by the time we were done. My skirt kept flying up, too, so there were lots of free peeks for my fellow park goers. Sigh. At least I was wearing tights!
Well, we powered through, and then bundled the hell up and took ourselves out for pumpkin spice lattes and some sale shopping at J. Crew! I found a super sweet, cozy wool sweater that I'm in totally love with for like, $30 (I love J. Crew sales!). I'm sure you'll be seeing it soon!
I'm trying to really enjoy the fall season while I can. Fall and winter in Seattle tend to be very similar weather-wise, but our days get incredibly short in the winter, so I'm trying to drink in all the daylight I can during this lovely season.
As crazy as it may sound, I love these blustery days. I think there's something about just having to let go and laugh as your hair is flying 8 different directions, you're soaked to the bone, and your umbrella has turned inside out 5 separate times. Why fight it?
Blustery days also make me think of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, which was hands down one of my favorite things to watch (and read) as a kid. I even made a diorama of it for school when I was 8 or 9! It was real cute.
Are you guys enjoying the fall weather in your neck of the woods?

You are so adorable! I love this photos! It puts me in that fall/windy day mood! In Michigan we are still enjoying the temperate weather in the 70s and the leaves are just beginning to change!
ReplyDeleteThis Lovely Little Day
Aw, shucks, thank you! The leaves are just starting to change here, too, but the rest weather is already trying to push for it to be winter! Enjoy it while you can!
Deletethis outfit is insanely flattering! i LOVE that shot of the blustery wind getting the best of your skirt. should be in a magazine. seattle weather sounds so wonderful at first and then pretty miserable. you're definitely invited to austin anytime you need a break from the cold and gloom!

Make a girl blush, why don't ya! It's pretty great for a while, then it gets a bit old, but I like it pretty well over all! I'll definitely take you up on that offer one of these days. I'd love to visit Austin!
DeleteOh wow, that skirt is just to die for adorable! I love that rich rich color.

Thanks, Chantilly!
DeleteThat skirt is absolutely perfect--I love the billowy pockets and lipstick shade of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! The pockets are the best. I love wearing it when I'm going to a concert or something and don't want to carry a purse. I can fit a purse worth of stuff in those pockets!
Deletewinnie the pooh! I love that, everything about it is so, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteRight? So adorable. I always think of piglet using an umbrella as a boat!
DeleteLove this outfit, Becca! And love discovery park. When I saw your Instagram photo I knew the yellow building looked familiar! I am also always reminded of Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day whenever the winds pick up, ha!

Thanks, Jess! Disovery park is the best!!! It's so giant that I'll never get tired of it.
DeleteOh, that skirt is so fun!! I love how puffy it is! And I was just saying I need to buy some plaid and figure out how to wear it.. this is such cute inspiration!

Thank, Jessi! I'm glad my outfit inspired you. I hope you'll be rocking some plaid on your blog soon!
DeleteOh my that skirt! What a fantastic shape and a fantastic colour! It looks so great on you and this whole set of photos is so wonderfully autumnal XX
ReplyDeleteWell, golly! Thank you so much!
DeleteBlustery, is right! We had lots of wind today with strong rain. Haha, missing summer already! ;) And this outfit couldn't be prettier, love the pairing of skirt + top! SO beautiful!!

It's been nuts! Fall is coming on strong this year! I'm looking forward to the infrequent, but lovely, cool crisp days we get from time to time. Also, thank you so much!
DeleteThat skirt.. I loves it so! It's really flattering on you, and I love the color.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I absolutely adore the photo where you're looking away, it perfectly personifies a blustery day! :)
Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad my friend captured that! The next second my skirt had completely flipped up. Yikes!
DeleteBecca you have the most adorable outfits, ever. Like seriously. You need a "shop my closet" section on your blog so I can buy all the stuff you don't want anymore lol :D

Aw, thank you so much, Brittney! I did a super serious clean-out of my closet before I started blogging, but if I ever do it again, I'll definitely consider that!
DeleteI love this outfit on you!! So cute. And brunette hair is looking fab!! Xx

Thank you!!!
DeleteThese pictures turned out great-you look cute as ever (even with that nasty wind and rain!!)
ReplyDeleteNext weekend maybe we will have better weather! :)
Thanks, lady! That was the worst. I'm still laughing about our walk back to the car where we practically blew away! I sure hope we'll have better weather!
DeleteJ Crew is the best. If I had all the money I would shop there all the time! Oof, they did pick a bad time to visit! This rain is normal, but the wind is not! I'm hoping it'll clear up soon.
ReplyDeleteI love blustery weather! When it's not too cold that is. It always feels kind of exciting, and is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to warm drinks as you did. :) This outfit is so cute! As always!
ReplyDeleteI like it too, just not for photoshoots! Thanks, Marlene!
DeleteThese are such great photos! I love how your skirt got so billowy with the wind, and I'm super jealous of your Anthro wardrobe :) I'm not a fan of short days- I just want to shut down and do nothing once it's dark and that's not very productive at 4PM... You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! What can I say, I love their clothes! Most of the stuff I've picked up the past few years has been from the sale rack. Ah, that glorious, glorious sale rack!
DeleteThis outfit is perfection! Now ... how to copy it ... ~__^
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you, Lisa!!!
DeleteOne day I will find out where you live, I will sneak into your closet, and I will steal this entire outfit.
ReplyDeleteOne day when I'm not pregnant, anyway. Because it. Is. Adorable. And I love it SO MUCH!
Yes! Every time there's a really windy day, I think of Winnie The Pooh! Hehe, so fun!
I love the fall days (even the rain) except that it makes it harder for me to take pictures outside. Oh well! I'll just have to get more creative. But the cold is SO nice for just cuddling up inside, warm and toasty with a cup of tea. That, and it means I have to stay inside and clean my house... ;)
Happy Thursday!

Hahaha! Thanks, Kristina! I'll make sure to tell Buddy and Hank to not let any strangers into the closet, just in case! Photos are wayyyy harder. You have to take advantages of the windows of time where there's no rain! That, or load up on photos on nice days (which is what I did today....).
DeleteI. Love. Your. Skirt. :)

Thanks, lady!
DeleteKatie got some amazing pictures! That skirt is just lovely! I don't think my hands would ever leave those large pockets. Like seriously.

Isn't she the best? They're the best pockets ever!
DeleteBig POCKETS! My favorite! I just did a post talking about how hard it is to find good pockets in women's clothing. Lucky duck. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's great! This is the only skirt I own with pockets big enough to replace my purse. I love it!
