These photos are from last month when I visited my mom. I seem to wear this sweater every weekend because it’s so comfortable and a variation of this look has become my staple weekend attire.
Usually when I visit home, I get roped into going to the barn with my mom to see all the critters. And sometimes there’s a small window when I miss the company of these furry animals. Ever since I moved away at 18 for college, I wanted nothing to do with them. I love to cuddle and squeeze any dog or cat and whenever I walk pass a horse, I go out of my way to pet their nuzzle and admire their beauty. I just know how much work they are! And me being 25 and single, I recognize and acknowledge how selfish I am. Maybe when I get older I’ll be ready for a dog or cat. Right now, I’m still trying to keep my plants alive.

This used to be my winter staple outfit too, but for some reason I haven't busted it out this year. Must remember to wear this outfit lol! I love your boots a lotttt

Such a comfy looking casual and chic outfit. Seriously loving those boots, the colour is gorgeous! I know what you mean not feeling ready for a pet, but a friend just got the most adorable little pup and it has me thinking… but I know i'm not ready for that kind of responsibility. Not yet!

horses are such beautiful creatures! my family will never let me live down the fact that when i was small and someone asked what i wanted to be when i grow up, i would say, "a horse trainer!". ive always loved them! but hard work and expensive they are indeed.
i seem to keep my dog well cared for….but plants always die on me. maybe we're just not ladies with green thumbs 😉

I feel the same way! I *adore* any four-legged creature and I'm that annoying person who talks to strangers' dogs, but being 24 and single as well, I just need to focus on me right now! If anything, I've been thinking about a cat…they're pretty self sufficient I think…
Super comfy looking sweater, and I'm sure you've heard this a zillion times before but your hair is amazing!!

Lovely outfit! I really cannot even keep a plant alive either and my mom has the most talent for growing things, I am quite jealous.

can i come home to your mom's house with you one weekend? i'm totally serious. i think you'd probably have to drag me away from those animals.

I love this look. The shorts, sweater,tights/boots/socks combo is perfection. I love horses and used to ride a lot when I was younger, but I have to admit I am totally jealous you had them in your backyard 🙂
