Cupcakes and Cashmere

A Walk in the Woods

October 17th, 2012

Club Monaco Sweater, Vince Tank Top, Vince Leggings, See by Chloe Boots, J.Crew Bag

Mornings in Mill Valley are notoriously overcast and misty. I usually can’t be bothered to leave the house (or bed, for that matter), but this past weekend we ventured out to take a long walk through the wooded area downtown. It’s one of my favorite spots, and has been since I was a child, right along the little creek behind the library that’s tucked among the redwood trees. I wore an oversized cardigan that’s become an instant favorite – since it feels like a menswear-inspired-coat-meets-comfy-knit and I’ve been tempted to wear it every time the temperatures dip below 60°.

    Gorgeous sweater. I have an absolute weakness for all things cozy and knit. I just wish this So Cal weather would cooperate!

    Emily, I adore your blog and am absolutely thrilled about the success of your book, but I do miss seeing some outfits that include more affordable items. $195 leggings will just never, ever be a reality for me, unless they legitimately have tiny angels floating around in them that alter the shape of my butt in a very nice way.

    Love an oversized sweater. I posted my oversized sweater dress from Seed recently. It’s what I wore over and over during our winter, it’s just so comfortable, warm yet stylish. So many ways to wear it! http://theempressclothes.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/the-perfect-knit.html

    The white tee is a tad too short.

    I miss the days when you featured affordable clothing on this blog. I would love to see more of a mix of affordable pieces and expensive designer pieces. Very few people in this world can afford to spend $195 on any article of clothing, much less a pair of plain black leggings. I still love reading your blog and love seeing the outfits you put together, but it’d be nice to see a few more things on here that I can actually afford! :)

    Cardigan looks great! But my hubby hates leggings so I won’t be wearing those anytime soon…

    Gosh, I love Mill Valley. Remember last year when I emailed you and you gave me all those recommendations of where to go and what to see? Downtown was my absolute favorite spot. We walked around, had coffee, took pics in front of the redwoods and it was just one of the most beautiful vacations I’ve ever had.

    People, stop complaining about the prices of the clothes. You don’t have to get the exact same items. You don’t need to copy Emily, just be inspired. There are plenty of affordable leggings, tees and oversized cardigans available. Relax.

    Those boots and sweater really get us in the mood for fall, even though the weather hasn’t quite shifted into fall yet we’re still dressing as it is.

    Such a great inspiration piece we’re going to attempt to recreate!

    You are fat. Diet and leave the cupcakes alone. You also don’t have that much of a good taste.
    A new hobby perhaps?

    Thnx for violating my eyes today.
    You may take that as constructive criticism.
