I love going out on adventures during the summer and autumn months because I always end up finding new nooks around town that I’ve never discovered before. This outfit has been perfect for those low-key days where I just want to do a little adventuring! For a while, I really hated going out of my way to explore new places. As someone who is a major homebody, introvert, and gets anxious on top of it all, it’s not something that comes naturally to me. It’s only with some self-awareness and self-acceptance that I’ve come to the point where I can embrace my own version of adventure. 

When I think of an “adventurous” person, things like skydiving, backpacking, surfing, or bungee jumping come to mind. These aren’t activities I’m comfortable with - nor do I think I’ll ever be comfortable enough to do them - but that doesn’t mean I can’t embrace adventure in other ways! For me, being adventurous means trying new things, visiting places I’ve never been, thinking outside of the box, exploring town without an agenda, and even being brave enough to do all of these things alone. Embracing this form of adventure has helped introduce me to new experiences and is something I hope to continue in the future! How do you embrace adventure in your own life?

There aren’t many outfits I could wear every single day but when fall rolls around, scarves and denim become my automatic go-to outfit ♥ I’m one of those people who gets too cold and too hot really easily so layers are an absolute must! Denim jackets are perfect because they give me that extra layer of warmth without resorting to the schlubby crewneck sweatshirts of my college days 😃  What are your favorite fall style staples?

I know we all get super bummed when it's the middle of fall, it's 80 degrees and we can't drink our pumpkin spice lattes or wear our ginormous blanket scarves because it's too darn hot, right? Well, not this girl! As much as I love my city, living in Wisconsin is not always the ideal situation for someone who can’t stand the cold! These past couple of weekends have been all kinds of sunny and warm and I have been relishing these extra couple of weeks of summer. We spent the weekend in downtown Madison eating good food and enjoying the lake and I couldn’t be happier 😃 ♥ What have you been up to this weekend?
