We had an Indian
summer in San Francisco and have been enjoying beautiful sunny weather until
this week. I feel a little unprepared for fall and feel ambushed by this chilly
weather! When I leave my apartment during the evenings, I can see my breath and
feel the crisp air cut into my skin. I have lived in SF for most of my life,
but I have to say I just never got adjusted to the cold. I know, I know, I do
complain about the cold all the time. If you’ve ever been into my apartment,
you would know how much I like the heat. I was told by a recent visitor that
her bf almost fainted due to the extreme heat in my apartment. I guess I just like my apartment to feel like
a tropical beach! Hopefully in the near future, I could move to somewhere where
the weather is a constant 80 degrees so I could turn off the heat and save
money on my electricity bill. Until then, I’ll just embrace the cold with a few
cozy items that will keep me stylish and warm.
I’ve always liked the
idea of a sweatshirt dress because it’s sporty and girly – sounds like an
oxymoron. Haha!
I’ve owned one before,
but thought the fabric was too thick and made me look bulky so I eventually got
rid of it. I really like this
sweatshirt dress made of fleece because it fits close to
the body and looks quite slimming at the same time. I added a no fuss
faux fur vest for extra warmth and feel that this piece can
be easily transitioned into SF winter and spring as well. I’ve been wanting a
faux fur vest for the longest time, but my bf always gives me the thumbs down
when I try it on. He says it reminds him of a sachsquatch! To keep my legs
warm, I picked out these
Reef winter moon boots with faux shearling. They kind of remind
of a more refined version of the Ugg boots that I used to wear during college
years. I know a lot of people think they’re ugly, but I still rock them…in my apartment
(that is!) because I’m too embarrassed to wear them in public. Haha! I finished
off the look with a
satchel and
arrowhead necklace because the colors in those two items
really add pop to the outfit. And I just love the
drop earrings
because of the chevrons and think they would be cute with any outfit!
