oh hello. just hangin out on the roof, dude. the weather took a turn for the cold and blustery this week, so i decided to pull out my trusty jeans and boots and cashmere and whatnot. when the weather turned all warm and springlike, i instantly forgot that winter ever existed and i imagined my entire life ahead of me, filled with bbqs every weekend, drinking ice cold mint juleps and fanning myself with some sort of fancy… fan. so yeah, i’m cold right now. trying to keep warm in this 55 degree weather. i’m from the desert, alright!
anyway, i felt concerned that i looked a little costumey in this outfit, so i asked my boyfriend what he thought. apparently this look made him thinking of flying? like in airplanes. what, do i look like a stewardess? i think not. that boy is downright silly if he can’t recognize that this is clearly a chic riding ensemble. duh!

Good costumey! You look a little bit like the girl from Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis's girlfriend not Uma!
It's a very good thing :)

Very English countryside riding- on the way to tea.
Lovely! Hope you get warm soon.

Looooove.
I really really really love this outfit. I think I may like your looks with pants the best!
(Oh, and how appropriate is it that my word verification is "rides"??)
If only I ever looked this chic when actually going riding!
LOVE the slight rolled collar on the cardigan and the slight look of a tie
i think you look cute haha
so in love with your jeans! i am on a mad hunt for high waisted skinny jeans. i found a pair at uo and i really like them , but these are fabulous! i like that they don't have any fading and are all one color. very good look.
this is adorable!
I can kinda see where your bf is coming from; if you were wearing one of those old-fashioned hat with goggles things, you'd be like amelia earhart at her chicest ;]
cute outfit, jealous of the weather!

haha, i love dressing up like an english horseback rider. The more costumey the better!
It's so cool that you get to take your pics on top of a roof, Erin!
I love the outfit too, especially the little top underneath the sweater. xox
Lovely outfit, right here is warm, but I really miss those winter days.
Well there is a certain touch of "Amelia Earhart" about the outfit, still, it's a cool ensemble.
Girl, I so hear you about the recent weather-tease! I get all excited about wearing sleeveless tops and open-toed shoes… to make matters worse I went down to LA this past weekend, which just made my weather-optimism even BRIGHTER! Then I come back to cold windy cloudiness… not fair :(
PS… Maybe b/f meant you look like an old school pilot? Like Amelia Eirheart!
Definitely a chic riding outfit! Love the boots :)
you look great! i love the equestrian influence. i can totally see it. i don't know WHAT your boyfriend's talking about. :)
so cute. you would look right at home on horse. definitely costumey in a good way :)
what a silly boyfriend! i like the equestrian look a lot.
I agree with what others have been saying–it's costumey, but in a GOOD way! Like, the best way.
I don't think its costumey at all! It has a sort of equestrian/school girl vibe to it! :)
Its funny, I'm a Cali girl too, but I go to school in New England–so 55 degrees over here is actually pretty warm! I suppose its the frame of reference…
I don't think it's too costumey at all. I also love your pants–skin tight. I usually wear BDG cigarette from UO, but I'm thinking about something skinnier.
Your outfit is super cute!
I'm in Atlanta and our weather is gorgeous…however we did have 55 degree weather last week. Seems like we have your temps now.
You look amazing..love those jeans on you and those boots. You can rock high-anything!
flight attendant haha
you look great like always :)
love the cardigan!
OMG jeans!
If I could wear this outfit everyday, I would!
Lovely! All the pieces look so great together. I agree about the "riding" look – which I love! Very classic and chic.
This is so perfect. Those skinnies are just amazing.
I like this look quite a bit – classic and chic! Riding boots always do that for me!
I love this look on you! It is not to costumy really but this is coming from one who quite frequently will wear jodhpurs and riding boots just for the fun of it!
Whoops, this is really good! Everyone should actually looked like this for riding!
I though of Tim Burton when I saw you in those photots :)
very good look. very much a riding outfit and the jeans are my fave!

I love the riding boot and snug pant look. It reminds me of early 80's Ralph Lauren.
A cold front came through on the east coast too. I love the boots.
Not so much flight attendent as one of those Vintage pilot style, however I agree it looks more horse riding chic. Love the outfit!
love yout boots!!! great jeans and tops!
tally ho, this is cute! love your boots. xo
great blue combinations. i love you rock your jcrew sweaters.
