Running Late

Well, we had a lovely vacation to California, where it was not warm in the slightest, and we are now back at home where it is also not warm in the slightest, but while I’m sorting through all of my vacation photos, here are a few very belated pictures from earlier in the spring.

Seriously. Very belated. I told you!

I’ve been investing in quite a few cardigans now that I work in one of those indoor office-type spaces, and it has made the seasonal transition so much less painful. Of course, it’s difficult to find cardigans that are a significant weight — I know lots of ladies who love MAK cardigans, but they’re mostly much more transparent than I prefer for outer layers.

I’m a big fan of the Collectif Orchid cardigan I’m wearing here, but I do wish it came in a few more creative colors!

Also, how fun is this absurd fish brooch? It’s kind of hard to wear on account of being semi-transparent, but I love it all the same.
