Blushing while reading

I have been shopping my closet recently. I have nothing on the wishlist, despite it being a wishlist season. I have not been to the store for a couple of weeks and I have only received a couple of packages, including the Everly shoes and Macalister wedges. I don't even check the sale section and I feel much calmer because of that. Instead I have been wearing many of my old favorites. This should be the goal of all that shopping after all, enjoying the clothes you have, rather than stressing out due to the constant hunting for the newest and greatest. 

Another thing that calms me down is reading. When I read more, I shop less and feel more at peace. My current read is The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. I just started, but it looks good. Have you read it?

This Blush Tweed pencil skirt is one of my reliable outfit makers. It goes with many colors because of the multicolor tweed but I love it best with black. That seems to be one of my outfit formulas. Wear a colorful skirt or shirt and everything else black, it never fails. Add some pearls to bring the reflect some light on the face.

My blouse is one of the very oldest items in my closet and I am always looking for worthy replacement. It was a cheap buy from Style & Co many years ago and one of very few items that I actually regret not getting a back up.

My shoes are a similarly old buy from Nine West, I like them for their slightly vintage vibe even if they are not the most flattering or sexy but somehow the slightly clumsy effect adds to their charm, at least in my mind. 

We got some snow here yesterday, but today it is back to beautiful fall weather. I actually don't mind the cold at all, as long as it is sunny. How about you?
