OOTD: Mountain Wear

Last month, when I wrote about my love of Great Barrington’s T.P. Saddleblanket, I had mentioned purchasing a Southwestern-inspired top during one of my recent stops while on my way back from lunch at the nearby Bistro Box.

I had received a notification in May that an absolutely beautiful and picturesque farm in Connecticut (that I’d seen all over social media last Spring!) was opening it’s doors for the season once again.
