Out of practice
We are now on the beach in the outer banks of NC but, before we left WV, we went to our little friend Willa’s 2nd birthday party and let me tell you guys something…. it was cold!!
We were in WV for a month and the weather totally changed from late summer to early fall.
Even though fall is my favorite season, after living in Miami for 10 years, I am so out of practice of how to dress for colder weather.
I mean, I knew by the time we would be leaving WV the weather was going to be much cooler (30 at night) but, I totally packed WAY more summer clothes than I did fall clothes.
I did manage to pack a pair of knee socks and knee high boots and luckily enough I had something to go with them.
I always thought I was a pretty good packer but from now on I need to pay more attention and perhaps actually plan outfits. For me and for Lily. 😉
Linking up to Mandy for Steppin’ Out and Morgan for Small Style.
on Lily: dress- Old Navy. leggings- Old Navy. moccasins- Minnetonka
on me: knitted beret- UO. earrings- Anthropologie. cardigan- Zara. striped shirt- Zara. tank- Gap. bag- Anthropologie. skirt- Gap. knee socks- Anthropologie. boots- Boutique9
the leaves have changed
some party guests horsing around and Willa the birthday girl

Okay, you guys look totally adorable! Oh yes!
I hear you, it’s hard to pack for a season which you are not currently experiencing. It’s like your mind cant wrap itself around the concept of cold when what you’re dealing with is hot hot hot! I find that every time I go back to North America I bring too much of the wrong thing.

Oh my, I love your outfits! Love loving your knee socks! I need those!
Lily looks gorgeous, as always! I am totally loving her dress and seeing these pictures reminds me that I still need a pair of Minnetonka’s for Finley. I ordered myself a pair! I am horrible at buying shoes online for Finley- I always buy the wrong size, so I need to find somewhere local that sells them.

relieved to hear that someone else had issues packing this fall… i failed miserably for our last trip… somehow everything we had was too warm for the one warm day and not warm enough for the rest of the freezing days… i completely failed… but it looks like you did quite well – you both look adorable….
