Small Town America

The area between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh is sometimes rudely referred to as "Pennsyltucky" which is pretty much meant to insult both small towns and Kentucky. Of course, there are a lot of farms and fields and quiet roads, but I don't really understand how people consider this a bad thing ("oh no there's no traffic!"). Small towns also dot the area and many are filled with pretty parks with fountains and quaint restaurants with outdoor seating lit by twinkle lights and have a charm cities will never be able to offer. I don't visit other towns in my area enough, but it's nice on a weekend or warm afternoon to explore a bit with friends taking advantage of the good weather to eat ice cream and window-shop. I don't know how much longer I'll be living in Pennsylvania so it seems to me that I should spend my final months visiting more of these underrated small towns.

Sunday Remix

Previous outfit posts: one, two, three, four, and five.
I've mentioned this before, but I'll repeat myself: when I stock up on sweaters I usually buy from the children's section at J Crew (preferably when those are on sale too!). In addition to being a high quality sweater at a lower price point than the adult section, I really like the fit of these since I am quite petite. They're boxier than sweaters cut for women, but I love the length and overall fit, so I have a number of these in a variety of colors. For reference I'm 5'1" and this sweater is a children's boy's size 10. My basic black Crew Cuts sweater still gets worn to death but I only remembered I owned this light grey/almost blue one when I was pulling together the top outfit with my new Alexandra Grecco skirt.
