Indian Summer 

10/21/2012

What a gorgeous Sunday! It was 67 degrees and sunny with a cloudless, blue sky. Yes, in the middle of October!
It was a true Indian Summer, today. I hear it will get up to the 70's later on in the week. I am happy to enjoy this little respite while it lasts! I hopped on my bike and (yep, you guessed it) headed straight for a coffee shop. No better way to enjoy the great weather than to sip a pumpkin
spice latte in a Halloween-decorated indie coffee joint, am I right? Haha! =P

So, I'm super proud of how well these photos turned out AND of the fact that I took them on my own! Yes, that's right. I packed my tripod and camera along with the usual coffee shop survival kit (iGrado headphones, iPod, dauntingly thick fantasy novel - The Wheel of Time: Part Four!, netbook, cell phone and trusty, eco-friendly Star Trek wallet) and somehow managed not to drop anything on the way.


There's a convenient bike path that goes straight to my favorite coffee place, so I took it at a leisurely pace, enjoying the sunshine and cool breeze. I enjoyed the ride so much that I passed my turn off, by mistake. However, in so doing, I discovered an isolated area with an awesome two-toned brick wall, and I thought, 'Perfect! I'll take my photos there and then congratulate myself with coffee.'
=D

Until now, I wasn't confident about taking photos outdoors by myself. It seems so odd to set up a tripod in public and start posing. Haha. It seems more natural when someone is behind the camera. Still, I noticed a certain freedom and confidence that I hadn't felt before. It was actually a lot of fun!

Here's to not getting kidnapped in the process! Haha!

By the way, I should mention that I'm wearing my brand new zipper boots and I love them to death! They're adjustable so they can be worn calf-length, mid-calf or at the ankle, and they have grey plaid lining. I love the bright blue exposed zippers at the back, too! Really interesting and fun! :D

it's my favorite cold weather cardigan, right now! i'd love to get it in black. it's a bit pricey, though. the only reason why i was able to get this one is because it was on sale for half off (i.e. $35). o_O O_o

thanks, my dear! <3

I love the sweater and leggings! I've never taken outfit photos on my own with a tripod, but I can imagine how strange it must feel at first.
Anyway, I'm your newest follower on Bloglovin'. Can't wait to see more great outfits in the future!
