apricot’s closet: it’s raining & pouring.
Black boyfriend cardigan (literally speaking, because it’s from the men’s collection) from Forever21; gray scarf & white t-shirt from Gap; this darling little skirt & tights are from H&M; shoes from Target; jewelry is miscellaneous.
The gray scarf is one of my most prized possessions. Lover gave it to me on one of our first dates together. No matter how grungy or frayed this scarf may become, no matter whether or not gray scarves are still in style, I will always wear this.
Both necklaces are also very near to my heart, but the one I treasure most is the shorter one; the one with the whale & safety pin as the charms. The whale charm was given to me by my father a long, long time ago, on our very first family trip to Monterey Bay. I was 7 years old, I think; maybe 8. The chain broke & I strung it on a [very tarnished] silver chain I received from my grandmother. The safety pin has been apart of this ensemble for quite sometime; matter of fact, it’s probably rusted shut at this point. When people ask me what the safety pin is for, I simply reply: “To keep me safe.”
Might I also add that I am dumbfounded that I have to bundle up this much when we’re nearing June. Imagine that.

That outfit is adorable, and you pull it off very well. I could never pull off that skirt, sigh.

Hi there! British weather leaves a lot to be desired-we are lucky today it’s really nice, but everyday can be either really hot or really cold-and wet!! Very cute outfit-the skirt rocks!!

I’ve been quite a fan of the cooler weather we’ve had for the last few days. I’m not going to lie. And really, it’s mostly just because I’ve been wanting to wear scarves, too.
I adore that skirt. Seriously, I want one. But I would look twelve in it, because I can’t for the life of me pull off a skirt without looking like a middle-schooler. It’s quite upsetting.
And I love all the stories behind what you wear. Brings so much more meaning to it all. :)

@ Sharon Rose: thank you; I quite enjoy this weather, more than what is normal…
@ wishcake: aw, thank you love! & I am so sure you could pull off this skirt. How could you not?
