This is one of those outfits where you are bound and determined to wear an outfit that you haven't worn before, but decided to put it together at midnight. 
I feel like I am a mix of grandmother meets lumberjack meets pigtails. Actually all three of these words were how my nephew described my outfit when he saw it. "Nice Grandma shoes you got there Alissa" was his exact quote. There is something that is so grandma like about these shoes that they make me nostalgic for when both of my grandmothers were alive and lived within 30 minutes of me. I never really appreciated that when I was young, but now I realize how lucky I was to see both of them at least once a week. 

 I got super excited when I realized it was raining when we were taking these photos, I have a serious problem with taking photos in the rain and jumping.

  1. These are the cutest pictures! I love the jumping picture and I LOVE the first picture. You are adorable! And I love this outfit, it doesn't scream grandma or lumberjack to me at all. It screams, "hi I'm a fashionista and this is my outfit."

  2. your expression in the first shot is just the funniest! I actually really like how the button down looks layered under a v-neck, something I've always been hesitant to do.
