Basic Girl Gone Apple Picking

I’m not really into pumpkin spice lattes (I much prefer a hot cocoa), I didn’t rush out to get an iPhone 6, and I definitely don’t plan on doing any Black Friday shopping (hello, Cyber Monday!).

However, I did go to a local orchard (Milburn Orchards in Elkton, MD) this weekend and go apple picking.  I also snagged some fresh apple cider, apple cider donuts and a gorgeous white pumpkin that I may decorate later in the week.

I went a little overboard and ended up getting about 35 lb. of apples.  Luckily I was splitting them with my friend, Dave, so I wasn’t left with more than would feed a family of about 12 for a few days.  We also got to pick Fuji, so delicious for eating and applesauce, and Granny Smith, which meant we had to have pie!  I just use the basic Betty Crocker recipe.  Sometimes there’s a reason something’s a classic!

As for my attire, I definitely wore the basic girl fall outfit, often chosen for outings like apple picking.  I’m not going to lie though, I spent a lot of time debating between a chambray shirt and the plaid I ended up wearing.  Ah, the life of a basic girl in the fall, so many choices.

As for Dave, he opted he opted for a lumberjack look, jeans with a plaid shirt and a mountain man beard.  Although maybe he should have been dressed more like a Tibetan sherpa since he ended up carrying all my apples…

After finding out what it’s like to see a blogger in the wild he decided that he wanted to do a “fashion pose.”

Have you been apple picking this fall?  Did you opt for a “basic girl” outfit or did you choose something else?  And, the thing I want to know: Does Dave have what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model?

Shop my outfit (or similar – sunglasses, vest, leggings, purse):

My sunglasses were a BR factory purchase over the summer, the vest and leggings are many years old and the purse was an end of summer sale purchase from Express, so these are no longer available.
