Fried Green Tomatoes

I just love elbow patches, don’t you? So preppy, so random, so cute. It seems this season they are taking new shape! I just ordered this sweater from ASOS (extra 20% off, too!). I can’t wait to wear it this fall with my indigo pants.

I am getting very excited that someone is turning ONE exactly 2 months from today.
