Some days,
I don't feel like being cool.
And some days, I feel like being cool, but I just can't find the energy.
Take Saturday, for example, when knew I wanted to hit the farmer's market in the AM , but I also knew that I didn't feel like wearing real clothes.
WHAT? Miss an opportunity to gain attention through my questionable sartorial decisions?
Yes. Most definitely.
Because when it comes to long walks and frigid temps, those cute pair of fall booties are fun for a whole 3 minutes - until the nearest thrift store gets 15 of my hard-earned dollars and I get a new pair of I'll-pretend-these-are-real-leather-for-my-own-sanity's-sake-unstylish-by-even-my-standards slip ons.
So even though I wanted to be the chic supa fly girl who "just can't seem to fit into" her midwestern hometown
- this time, I decided to opt for comfort over cool.
And then I bought the weirdest hat ever.
No, seriously. I have no idea what happened. It may have been the undeniable allure of anything labelled "$5 bin", or the branches-which-later-morphed-into-antlers (??) printed across the fabric, but something about this uncharacteristically bright skull cap suddenly appealed to my strange aesthetic, and I snatched (read: gently plucked and paid for) the hat to wear home.
Help me.
I am becoming that which I mock.
The midwestern hick within is taking shape in the form hunting-inspired accessories and a northern accent that I just can't seem to quit.
ooo hay der .
uh oh.
buh bye fer now
nice photos!

Hahaha similar experience yesterday except I went the opposite direction and wore baroque leggings to the farmers market, let's just say no one was looking at the food haha. Love the new hat......maybe branches/antlers will become a winter trend haha!

ahhaha that hat is FABULOUS. This looks like the ideal day to me, I absolutely love walking through farmers markets. I then end up buying way to much food that i don't end up eating, but hey thats the fun of it all

Um, I have like 8.5 lbs of grape tomatoes in my fridge. My skin is going to change colors.
DeleteThis is not a joke.
dude this pretty much captures every weekend for me. sometimes it's really nice to take a break from perfecting an effortless cool and just go with the effortless thing. gotta say though, for not wanting to look cool you look pretty great with that riding boot lime green hat combo! proof that you can take the midwestern girl outta new york but you can't take the new york outta the midwestern girl!
