    1 Item 2 Ways: Leopard Print T-shirt

    June 13, 2022 /

    When it comes to my wardrobe, I treat Leopard print as a neutral. I haven’t featured it that much here on the blog but in my first ever Weekday Wardrobe post I featured the print on 3 different occasions! So, in an effort to shop my closet and make the most of what I have I thought it would be fun to pick an item and style it 2 different ways! 1 Item 2 Ways: Leopard Print T-shirt My closet is full of clothes but a lot of times I have that classic case of feeling like I have NOTHING to wear. My drawers are brimming too and when I…

    If you’ve been here for other weekday wardrobe posts or over on my Instagram (follow me @learning.to.bloom if you don’t already!) you’ll know that this is my winter uniform. I live in cozy sweaters, jeans, and sneakers during the fall and winter and this outfit is made up of some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. Believe it or not, I got this sweater at a Zara in Barcelona of all places and it was on that trip that Jacob proposed to me on so this sweater brings back many fond memories. I don’t care what anyone says, I will wear skinny jeans for the rest of forever. They…

Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that m Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that my dad used to take him to forage for chantrelle mushrooms. It was a beautiful Fall day and we were able to get a glut of mushrooms! It was so peaceful out there and I could tell why my dad liked to go out there.

I loved getting out into the woods and spending time with Jake. It helped calm some of the anxiety I've been feeling.

**Warning** My dad taught Jake how to find the chantrelle mushrooms but also always taught me what to look for when foraging for them. Forage at your own risk. Its always best to go out with someone who knows what they're doing and knows what to look for. Only forage what you are 100% sure of!***
