Fallen leaves

So right before all the snow hit… November was pretty darn dreamy! Not to say I don’t like snow, I really do. I mean you sort of have to like it at least a little bit to live in Michigan and be sane, hahaha. But I just wish it’d hold off until after Thanksgiving. Ah well, can’t control the weather! All you can do is enjoy the beautiful fallen leaves while they’re here, and before they’re covered with snow! Those gray days though, with all the leaves falling down, rustling in the street, the sound they make, the smell, agh, it’s just all so perfect. I love autumn so much! I wish it’d stick around a bit longer. But hopefully we’ll get a few more nice days before the season ends! 🍂

Madewell queen over here, but can you blame me? I scooped up this adorable bobble sweater from them during their grand opening event in Grand Rapids, along with these straight jeans. I tried on a 28 in store though… and so I ordered them online in a petite (shorty 5’3 legs over here) and when I got them in person, they’re just like… a little baggier than the fit in store? Unless I lost a couple pounds and that really made a big difference? Haha. Going to try and wash them and see if they shrink down, but I’m kind of wondering if maybe you size down in these jeans… just by one size if you’re interested in buying them. Otherwise, this sweater has been on repeat, these Carina boots have definitely been on repeat. I love Madewell; I just can’t help myself.

I just got back from a quick weekend trip to Bloomington, Indiana… so I’ll have two blog posts coming your way there! Otherwise, not much else is new. Just trying to take in the slow of November before the holidays begin, but honestly, this month has felt kind of busy… and it’s also going very fast. I cancelled my workout tonight because I just need a night to catch up — run to get groceries, get the apartment into a decent state, knock a few things off my to-do list, catch up on my inbox. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to stay sane! I try to always reschedule my workouts though so I can hit 3x a week; because working out definitely is one of the things that helps me stay sane. Alright, I’m off! I’ll be back this week!
