Nineties Autumn

So, since I've officially declared the "actual" name of the blog to be Minnesota Weather and Occasional Personal Style Blog I will start off with commentary on the weather: On Wednesday, it was 82°F - sunny t-shirt weather! On Thursday (when these photos were taken) and today, it was 36°F and we're-not-in-Kansas-anymore windy. It's amazing how it can go from t-shirt weather to multiple layers, coat, and scarf weather in a single day.   I think my face in some of these photos represents my feelings about the weather. I look extremely concerned and sad in some of them, simply because I was terrified that a giant gust would knock over my tripod and break my precious camera. On several occasions I ran over to the tripod and grabbed it, crying out to the wind, "Why God, why?! I just want to get my blog photos over with!" (Okay, well the first part was true.)   This outfit was originally inspired by Sally Albright from When Harry Met Sally. I'm addicted to all of her outfits in that movie. There're definitely high-waisted jeans (reference: here) and red sweaters (reference: here) in that movie. I had meant to wear my bowler hat (reference: here), but due to the wind I decided not to risk it. Oh well, I still felt like some super cool early-nineties rom-com movie star anyways! The crisp fallen leaves helped too - I love that When Harry Met Sally takes place almost entirely in the autumn and winter. It's so romantic!   (Also, wasn't it cool how I cited all of my sources? College is really paying off!)   Despite referencing When Harry Met Sally and crediting it as the central inspiration for this entire outfit, I am about to settle in with some hot chocolate and biscuits to watch Home Alone. I had an incredibley bad day at work and an equally rough week at school (three midterms!) so I deserve a nice break.   Oh, I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who wrote to me about study abroad! It was so interesting to read all of the input. I'd still love to hear about everyone's own experiences (go ahead, write me a novel in the comments section, seriously). I'm almost sure that I've chosen Copenhagen. I stumbled upon this website and fell in love, particularly when I searched for Christmas in Copenhagen - how beautiful!   Anyways, since you've sat through me rambling about a number of boring topics, you are now rewarded with a photo of everyone's favourite blog pooch, Moses! I also posted the utmost adorable photo of him to the blog's Facebook page yesterday. It is a must see!    xx
