Hello, friends!
I hope you all had an exciting and safe Halloween! Alex and I have had a relaxing but fairly uneventful week so today we decided to immerse ourselves in nature to make up for it. Just about a half hour drive away, we went to this gorgeous park and walked along (and also strayed away from) the path down a mountain. Colorado's weather this past week has been rather sporadic, but today was a fairly warm day, at least that was the case until we went up into the mountains.
I'm glad I have someone to adventure with. I've really been enjoying spending the time out and about, spending time with nature. Growing up in New Jersey, it's really hard to get away from all the hustle and bustle because everything is just so... crowded. Moving out here and having access to so much space is still so surreal to me. As much as I miss the company of my friends back on the east coast, there is something so satisfying about this taste of seclusion. I mean after all, we spent the afternoon surrounded by mountains. I really don't think I could ever get tired of living like this.

Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year and I cannot get enough of layering. When it comes to clothes, I like–first and foremost–to be comfortable. When I came across this fuzzy sweater, I knew it had to be mine immediately. This thing is so damn cozy, it's like wearing a big warm hug in the form of an olive green cardigan. I'm in love. Doesn't hurt that it's in one of my favorite fall colors, either!
I picked up these denim shorts from there over the summer and true to form, I refuse to retire my shorts just yet. I tend to keep a small portion of my shorts and mini skirts in my wardrobe for fall/winter because it expands my outfit options. I simply pair them with tights or a pair of thigh-highs and viola! Instant warm. I have these exact socks in multiple colors and if you haven't purchased a pair of knee-high/thigh-high socks from American Apparel yet, I highly recommend you do so–especially if you're into layering like I am. They're super thick and warm, I swear these could protect you in a blizzard! I have worn these with a mini dress and a jacket and have been comfortable and toasty warm. You have my word. They're a staple in my wardrobe and a very good investment, in my opinion.
This hat is something I thrifted back when I was about 14 or 15 years old and I can't believe I still even have it! My mom recently sent me a backpack of things she found at home that she thought I might want, and to my surprise, this hat was somehow in the mix. I wore a lot of hats like these in high school, I had five or six of them at the time. This one stole my heart because it's not only open-knit, but it's also mustard yellow (which is probably my ultimate favorite fall color). I'm always tempted to pair mustard yellow with a bold red, and so I went to my go-to: Mac Russian Red.
