Autumn Dreaming

I am a well documented autumn enthusiast. So much so that it is barely summer and I'm already planning my fall wardrobe. I can't help it! Autumn has SO MUCH going for it! For example:

• many tasty flavors, such as apple & pumpkin
• the BEST weather - so cozy!

To me, autumn - September especially - always feels like a new beginning. New school year, new clothes, new chances.. I love it! And, despite it being barely July, I am 100% obsessed with this outfit. Maybe I'll land a job in an over-air-conditioned building with a Casual Friday tradition and be able to make this dream a reality before November. Fingers crossed!

brb!

The weather is beautiful and I'm restless and pale, so I'm packing up an adventure bag (contents: water bottle, book, Luna bar, cell phone, camera, wallet, sunglasses) and heading out with my picnic blanket. No Things I Love Thursday this week, but hopefully I'll be back with some sweet pictures and in a better mood. Happy Thursday! ♡

Don't Call It a Comeback

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG, FRIENDS.

Between wrapping up student teaching, finishing the semester, graduating, and moving, things have been cray-cray around here. But I've been in St. Louis for a few weeks now and things are pretty settled... or they will be, until I get a job and my lazy day routine is thrown out the window. (Crossing my fingers that'll be SOON!)

I'll be back tomorrow with some fresh things that I love on a Thursday.. and trust me, there are lotttttttts. Hope everything's been fabulous, dear Internet! ♥

Begin at the Beginning

Student teaching ends in 3 days. I am officially a Master of the Arts in Teaching in 5 days. Boyfriend & I are reunited in 12 days. Life is good! Recommend a book. Tell me your favorite snack. Give me packing/moving tips. Suggest a song. Talk to me!
