Fiance said he liked this Alternative look…I don’t necessarily think it falls under alternative, but maybe he thinks so because I wasn’t wearing heels. Regardless, I think it’s funny when guys “name” outfits. I like to think of it as more comfy cozy, which is exactly what it was on the cold day these shots were taken.
I always used to see women pulling these beenie’s off, but never suspected I too could get away with one. Then, Reenie’s Crochet contacted me about reviewing one of her hats and I jumped at the opportunity to prove my subconscious wrong. She has tons of colors and designs, but Ive been loving eggplant lately (and its one of our wedding colors), so I had her send me this one. The craftsmanship on them is amazing, I wish I could make something that cute!

Hahaha i hear alternative and think of Offspring or Green Day T-shirts, ripped jeans and Doc Marten boots. Maybe he meant alternative to what you normally wear? Either way it IS a cute outfit!

Oh geez, my boyfriend is constantly naming/making fun of my outfits. I have a red and white striped dress that when I wore it he said "Found you!" and then proceeded to call me Waldo all day. I don't wear that dress much now! Love the beanie though, I'm a little afraid of hats, but it looks great on ya! Might need to try one out!

I love this outfit! Comfy-casual is how I aim to dress every single day. I would wear that sweater, bag, and necklace to the point of overkill! And you look so cute in the hat – thank you for giving me an example of a girl with straight, blonde hair pulling off a beanie. I truly didn't think it was possible – I stand corrected!
great casual look π
