A Comfortable Morning

Last Saturday I got dressed in the most comfortable morning outfit. I found this sweater in the back of my Dad's closet. I've been looking for a cream cable knit sweater for autumn, it was perfect timing. I knew I wanted to wear my big gray scarf because it's so soft. I thought I'd add more color so I put on my blue-green plaid scarf as well. Two soft scarves and an oversized sweater, makes for a wonderfully huggable morning. 

I made breakfast and some tea and was relaxing on the deck with Lua when I decided to take some pictures at my parents house. I usually venture out to find locations but I thought it was fitting to take pictures at home since this was such a morning with tea, shuffle about the house outfit. 

I mentioned a while ago that my Mom had found her old clogs in her closet. I think she started looking a little bit after I let the cat out of the bag about having a blog. I've been wearing a lot of her things recently. I'm actually wearing almost all my parents clothes here. It's a good thing they're ok with sharing. 

It's interesting to think about the fact that these things my parents have had for such a long time are possibly more in style now then when they first bought them years ago. I've seen so many classic cable knit sweaters popping up as well as olive tones and of course clogs have been everywhere. So without buying anything new I'm able to come up with something that is pretty current from used items found in the back of my parents closet.

Beyond that, I can imagine my mom wearing this when the clogs were new. A fall morning in the early 70's, my Mom walking around the house getting ready to go to beach to watch my Dad surf. That seems about right. This day I wore them around the house in the morning making tea and eating pumpkin bread then in the afternoon when I headed to the beach with Lua.

This outfit wasn't just comfortable to wear, it was comforting to be in. The fact that I had on things that belong to my parents made me feel very relaxed and cozy wearing them. Sometimes a certain piece can feel warm and homey. Do you have any outfits or items of clothing that feel just like home to you? Outfits that feel like a laid back morning with tea and puppy kisses?

I did a little redesign on Friday, which is why I was unable to post these pictures then. It took all day, 9am until the wee hours of the morning spent googling and testing. There are still a few things I'd like to rework a bit, but I'm trying to give my brain a coding break. I hope you like it so far!
