Romantic Burnt Sienna

 Last week when I went to my group supervision, my supervisor told me that I looked 18.  She had a point, I mean I was wearing a faux fur headband with my hair in a top knot and nerd glasses as well as a Ramones T-shirt with tribal print leggings and leather biker boots...I may have looked like a trendy teenager with minimal make-up.  Of course I said thank you because looking young is valued in our society, but I definitely want to be taken seriously and professionally.  I dressed my age today.  The side bangs with a piece pulled back off of my face helped me add a mature factor to my look. 

 My rust colored jeans are from Christmas last year.  My sister Katie Rose got them for me.  Literally every time I wear them someone makes a comment somewhere along the lines of, "Wow, your pants match your hair."  I think they are dumb for saying that because it is similar to commenting on the color of the sky.  Maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe they are just utterly observant, but I don't think so.  I think that complimenting one or the other would suffice.  Ok fine.  They are like the exact same color of my hair.  My hair is burnt sienna and so are my pants.  Ok fine.  I'm sensitive.  The pants are from a boutique in the Bay Area but they can also be found in Anthropology.  My hair is done by Chelsea- she is an amazing colorist.  I've been tempted to cut it all off lately.  My top is by CI - of course another hand me down from the bestie- Stevie.  I'll be wearing clothes from her a lot lately because I do that when I get new or new to me clothes.  I like to initiate them into my wardrobe right away.  They feel more like mine that way. 

The gold accessories are from all over.  The tree bracelet is from Crossroads, the flower gem bracelet was a gift for my 21st birthday from my cousin in England, the chain bracelet is from goodwill, and the 70's looking bracelet was my mom's when she was a teenager.

I changed my purse today for the first time perhaps all year.  Yeah...I'm a slacker.  I do wear fancy purses from time to time for special occasions, but ordinarily I like to have a purse that I can just grab and go with no fuss or muss.  The black quilted one from Urban has been my go to.  I have had this leopard one since the summer time- my mom got it from a fundraiser that she organized.  It's pretty flashy with the patent leather, satin leopard print and silver bling all over it, and I figured that the holiday season is the perfect time for everything sparkly.  I like how it added a focal point to my otherwise muted, neutral-toned outfit.  This morning at boot camp I was admiring the fall colored trees at the park and it inspired me to express myself the way fall does with all of its wonderful color.  Speaking of color...my lip color is from Cover Girl.  You're never going to guess how much my shoes were.  Ok I'll tell you: 7 dollars.  I got them in the Urban post x-mas sale last year and I love the fun polka dots on them.  Last but not least, with a chill in the air, I needed a jacket.  My army green military inspired jacket was gifted to me by my husband- he used to wear it and now its mine.  Being married has its perks!
