friday's fancies #47: to sit around the bonfire.

friday's fancies #47: bonfire!



when we were back in college at louisiana tech university, justin's fraternity often had bonfires once the weather turned cold. admittedly, my outfits were never quite this refined or well-put-together, but this look reminds me of something i may have worn around the fire pit, drinking beer & telling stories.

the weekend justin & i have in store, however, won't be much like the college days of yesteryear. to kick off the to-do-list-driven couple of days we'll grapple with this weekend, tomorrow i'll be heading in to the social security office to begin the process of changing my name [which i'm actually really excited about!]. next off, we'll be unpacking the remainder of our things & arranging them in our apartment. we were so thoughtfully given many gift certificates to bed, bath, & beyond for our wedding, so a trip over there to make some exchanges & pick up a few items is also in order. and then, there's the grocery shopping. like i said, not exactly the refreshment-&-party-driven weekends we used to enjoy in undergrad. but, still i find myself excited! [a sure sign i've grown up a bit.]

Love your picks, especially the red sweater. Sounds like you'll have a very eventful weekend (changing names will be so exciting!)!

In SoCal we only do bonfires in the summer but now I want to attend one in cold weather! Especially if I get to wear a cute outfit like this!

What a cozy outfit... I used to go to bonfires all the time in HS but we never dressed up either. I wish my clothes were this cute back then haha! Have a great weekend!

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
