Founding Fathers

One of my favorite parts of fall is layering. Sweaters, flannels, button downs, it all goes together. I layered this sheer, lace, white button down with a tie under a burgundy sweater hoping to achieve a prep-school look. Ultimately it ended up going a little more John Hancock than Ralph Lauren but I still like the intellectual vibe it gives off.

I love this shot of my book, coffee, and Emily Gallardo bookmark. All the essentials of a successful nerd.IMG_7999

I think it was the sleeves that took this look from girlish to 18th century. Still, I like the idea of mixing textures like the soft sweater and lace.IMG_7982

Accordingly with the somber color scheme I was re-reading The Bell Jar.IMG_7970Sweater: Primark, Shirt: Primark, Skirt: Forever21, Tights: TJ Maxx, Shoes: Tahari, Rings: Forever21
