Autumn's Eve

Sweater: H&M Pants: Forever 21 Shoes: Target

Autumn is here!! Not that I've been counting down or anything ;) ...and not like we have a huge seasonal shift here in Southern California, but it's still exciting. Crisp air and crunchy leaves are in reach, I can feel it. 

A couple months ago, in an attempt to save closet space, I finally bought some under bed storage to store all my winter clothes. Which was great, it freed up a lot of space in my closet not having sweaters and jackets in there. The downside though, is when I started to see fall and winter clothes pop up all over the internet, my immediate reaction was, "oh that's cute, I don't think I have one of those" even though I probably do, it's just out of sight out of mind. So I'm trying to not buy any winter clothes until I take what I already have out of storage (which won't happen until I know for sure we're out of the 90 degree weather for good) so I don't end up buying more of what I already have, defeating the purpose of saving room. One thing I did cave in on and buy though was this sweater from H&M. It's casual yet stylish, perfect for an everyday capsule wardrobe, and only $25! It's been the only winter-y thing hanging in my closet for weeks (I couldn't get myself to put it away in storage). I've looked at it every day anticipating the day it would finally cool enough to wear it, and finally, this week the day arrived. It was everything I imagined it would be. And even though the weather got a little warm in the afternoon, the sweater's light enough that it didn't bother me. It just made me all the more excited for colder weather, and when I can finally excavate all the warm, cozy things from under my bed and be reunited with the treasures I forgot I had.
