sweater weather

Planet Gold sweater, Madewell jeans, Urban Outfitters loafers, Free People bag, Bauble Bar bracelet + Fossil watch

I could easily live in California. The whole time I was visiting, I was completely obsessed with palm trees and could definitely handle taking daily outfit pictures in front of them.

Los Angeles was expecting rain while I was in town, so before I left I stopped at the mall to pick up some last-minute layers and found way too many sweaters than I needed...seriously, I've never said no to stripes. Paired with these perfect velvet loafers I found at Urban in Ventura, I was set for an afternoon stroll through the neighborhood before watching the sunset over the ocean.

Enjoy the weekend! I'm hopping on a plane back to Minnesota tomorrow, but trying not to think about it. I miss Washington more than ever already.
