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.
