Yesterday was one of those days I realized why I like living in the Midwest so much. My next door neighbor saw me struggling with my self timer in my backyard trying to take outfit pictures for LPF. She was raking big piles of leaves while her kids played. She offered to take some for me, and before I knew it she was directing my photo shoot and even had her 8-year old pointing the leaf blower at me!
Needless to say, I love Wisconsin. I'm grateful for all the nice Midwesterners that have helped me settle into life 1000 miles away from where I grew up!
J. C. Penney also featured me on their Chictopia page in my shearling collar denim jacket from I Heart Ronson which was incredibly exciting.
Can you believe I've never jumped into a pile of leaves before? I've got a lot to catch up on!
xoxo, lauren
