Black Magic

Black lace kimono, Nasty Gal. Imogene + Willie Imogene Slims  Necklace and tank top, American Eagle. Cowboy boots, vintage. Madewell bag. Nail color, FormulaX for Sephora in Obsessed. NARS satin lip pencil in Palais Royal.

     I haven't always embraced cold weather to the extent that I do now. After finding a few coats that I really like, I realize how a brisk walk in cold weather can make the senses come alive. It's almost as if Jack Frost is my muse once winter rolls around. However, on one of the last days over seventy that we will probably see this autumn, I was pleased to be able to break out this beautiful black kimono jacket as a light layer. 

     There are some items in my wardrobe that truly do infuse my day with a sense of magic. I love how it seems impossible to have a bad day when you are wearing a favorite outfit, or even just a favorite pair of jeans. The way this particular outfit came together made me feel completely on top of the world the day I wore it. Despite not really being able to figure out what to pair my cowboy boots with up until this point, I was pleased with the slight Western vibe that they gave my outfit. I already know that my imogene + willie jeans are a go-to if I want to feel my best, but I have a feeling I'll be incorporating the lacy jacket and boots into outfits more often as well.

      I was even confident enough to take my pictures in a pretty open spot on campus. I just couldn't resist the beautiful autumn leaves. If I had waited much longer, the pretty yellow leaves on the tree would have joined their friends on the ground as we had a storm not long after I took these pictures. It was one of those days where everything just turned out how it should!
