personal style

Over the course of the past 4 years, my personal style has evolved and stayed the same. I would describe it best as incredibly confused.

Part of me pulls towards color. I love summer dresses with prints, bright colors, fun shoes... that part of me crave these:

Another part just wants to be homey. Chunky sweaters, flannel, leggings and tights.

Those two sides of my wardrobe definitely adapt with the seasons, and maybe once I leave dreary Maine winters, my homey, warm, winter style will disappear.

However, a completely different part of me wants to explore a more minimalist style. I love the idea of having a few versatile staples that I can interchange daily. The more I explore everlane the more I just want that to fill my whole wardrobe with some A.P.C. jeans and my desert boots.

Comfort Foods

One of my favorite comfort foods I definitely can't go without is grilled cheese and tomato soup. A couple weeks ago one of my favorite bloggers, Joanna Goddard, wrote about a Barefoot Contessa recipe for tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons. Yum!

This recipe from New York Times sparked my interest this weekend. Hopefully I can make some soon!
