Continuing the Beginning

This evening was just one of those good, good evenings. My day didn't start out wonderfully, as my car was frozen over with ice (yay!) and I was running late because I had to run inside and get more layers of clothing (double yay!) and missed my train by about a good minute (dare we say triple yay?). But the rest of the day went pretty well, I'd say, and it culminated in me heading to the climbing gym, which I love to go to! (I think I'll talk about that more in another post). I go there 2-3 times per week if I can, and tonight I did some bouldering and some top-roping, and I did some routes that I didn't think I'd be able to finish because I was just so damn tired. I'm really trying to take charge of things in my life, though, so I made myself finish, and I'm pretty proud :)

This past weekend my friend Tiffany and I did a fun little amateur photo shoot in her backyard. She's got this nifty bridge over a koi pond -- perfect for pictures and perfect if you feel like having some zen time. It was kinda cold outside, and more than a bit windy, but we managed ;)

Sans white peacoat!

I opted for cozy-cute on this particular day. It was about 60-65 degrees F, and with these clothes on I was still a little cold!

I'm wearing:

  • Cropped white peacoat: H&M
  • Warm grey cardigan: Charlotte Russe
  • Inner navy/grey cardigan: Nordstrom
  • Top: American Eagle
  • Jeans: Gap
  • Shoes: comfy comfy comfy Minnetonka moccasins :D

There's something really interesting going on over there, I swurr

The cropped white peacoat is one of my favorite pieces of clothing! I got it on sale at a grand opening of H&M for the ridonkulous price of $10 (!!!) and I later saw it going for something like $40. I'll take my deal and leave, thanks!

The Minnetonkas are total win. They were a bit of a pain to break in, as they were really stiff suede, but now they feel so dang good on my feet. It's too bad I can't really wear them year-round -- these would be a no-no in the rain.
Wait for it....

Because when are jumping pictures NOT fun? :D

Check my mad (mini) hops. Ish. Sorta. 

Hee!

I look like I'm being beamed up into a spaceship. For real.
It's getting to be about that time of the night for me to (ideally) go to bed. Over and out and until next time :)
