Autumn Orange

Sweater: Thrifted
Jacket: Modcloth
Jeans: Target
Boots: Tory Burch

No matter how enticing it seems to live in beautiful California or sunny Florida (where you get perfect warm weather every single day of the year), I still prefer to be in the Midwest. I can’t imagine not being able to experience all four seasons, especially Autumn. I think my brain would be so confused, particularly when Christmas comes around and… wait, what? Why is it so humid out? Plus, going through four seasons just means you get to have more variety of coats and footwear J

In other news and updates, since I’ve been such a blog slacker (I give myself a D- )
1. I’m starting a new job in December! Yay! All that training finally has come to an end. I’m also scared out of my mind to be taking care of patients all by myself, but that’s where Google and Wikipedia come in very handy, right? 

2. Got in a pretty bad car accident last Saturday L It was a head-on collision on the freeway and my car is completely totaled. Although I’m sad about the car, I’m extremely grateful to have walked away from the accident with only some minor bruising. Life is precious

3. Grace is now saying a few more words in Chinese! She can also squirm up one stair and pull herself to her knees. She’s not walking yet, but she sure has come a long way. Just a year ago around this time, she had her last brain surgery. I continue to be amazed how much kids can progress in just one year

Hope you guys are doing well! Will be catching up on all your blog posts soon!

    This is such a beautiful fall color combination. I love the sweater - from what I can see, the neckline is especially lovely.

    So glad that you're OK from the accident!

    Wow, the car accident sounds scary... glad you are OK. Love the fall colors of your outfit! We used to live in Michigan and the fall foliage was pretty amazing. Best of luck to you on your new job! I hope your December start date means that you are taking some time off before hand to enjoy. :D Your daughter looks so cute in that red jacket!

    Hello gorgeous! Love those beautiful Fall colors on you!! As a Californian, I agree with you completely. I don't understand why it's forecasted to be 81 degrees tomorrow?! Just when I had my coats ready to go. I'm so so glad to hear you are okay after the accident - life really is precious. Yay to Grace starting to speak Chinese and her determination to start walking!! Such a strong little girl :) Have a wonderful rest of the week/weekend!!! <3

    omg'd christy! God was with you! I'm so glad you're ok. A car can be replaced, but not you doll. I love your jacket and the black underneath. It's so pretty. A lady today had an orangey color jacket with brown underneath. Both works. Congratulations on your new job! You will be just fine.Can I be your wiki, google, mozilla firefox, dogpile and yahoo assistant? I have a phD in it! HAHAHA happy halloween.

    I love Grace's Burberry quilted jacket! She's so stylish :) And of course, you look fantastic!

    On another note, it can get cold in North Florida... if you count low 40s cold :)
