home is wherever i'm with you.


some moments are for cherishing. i like to compartmentalize my life into important life-changing days when you think to yourself "hm, things are really never going to be the same." i've had lots of these, like the last day of high school, or the moment right before i walked on stage to receive my college diploma, or even as our cab pulled away from the hotel we lived at in nicaragua and i knew everything would be different. this day was one of those. matt and i picked our move-in date to our second apartment together :) we are moving downtown. i know it isn't out-of-state, or drastic but my whole world is about to change. i am going to have to say goodbye to my postal worker friends, my local coffee shops, and all of the little places matt and i frequent because we are "locals." i don't see myself visiting our current town (the gables) too often, and i am more than ecstatic to explore a whole new neighborhood and to create new memories in a brand new space.

here's to fun and fresh memories! i will make sure to post more photos of the inside when we move in at the end of the month and decorate a bit. i was so excited on this day that i just had to wear this cow top. isn't it precious?! do you all have any stories about moving? share them with me!!

p.s. adding lots of amazing vintage to my store today!

blouse: for sale in my store
skirt: c/o chicwish

I love this outfit. That skirt is soo lush!

And ah moving to new environments is always a little bittersweet. You're excited, but kinda nostalgic too. But I wish you two the best!

Such a cute outfit! I love your skirt.

Moving seems like such an adventure, even if it isn't too far! It makes me a bit afraid for college.

Congrats on the move! It looks really pretty like the setting for a romantic movie or something.
Best moving story I have: I move in and start cleaning and realize its not paint on the walls, its exterior latex. Gross. The other one: The night my family moved into our house when I was 8 my mom opened the oven and the potatoes flew out of the oven across the floor and exploded on the wall. I still think its funny.

Hope all the moving goes well and you get settled in quickly!! xo

love this outfit, laid back but fun! I've been considering getting a velvet skirt for a month now, and this post has convinced me! I love velvet so much and it's great for the approaching winter (in Australia)

congrats, steffy! So excited for you--- moving is always a huge change, even if it is in the same state! The building looks lovely though! My bf and I are moving to LA in August... I've always been a Bay Area girl, so I'm definitely nervous to move to a completely different city!!! I'm sure I will have more to share on it in a few months :)

Jamie Rose said...

Yes I definitely have those moments too! I'm sure I'd feel more like life is changing after graduating if I wasn't going to grad school. But when I finish that it'll be a super life-changing moment, I'm sure.

Also your cow print top is the most fun ever! I love your patterned tights and your pretty velvet skirt too.

Kaitlin said...

omg that's so huge, but yay for finding a new home i'm sure it will end up being just as great as your last place!
