Winter beach

While I'm usually at the beach a few times a week for outfit photos during the summer, I don't typically frequent it in the winter.

The beach is a totally different place in the winter. The energy is different, it's somber, desolate. Though it's not without it's beauty, and as a bonus, I have no problem finding a parking space.

In other news, it's snowing/icing again, so I'm home from work. I suppose I should be happy for a snow day, but it would probably be in my best interest to do something more productive than camp out on the couch again...

  1. I love a pop of gingham during any season. I especially love it during the winter when I feel like it gives us some hope of spring!

  3. I'm home again today too! That's two Mondays in a row lol. I love seeing the beach in the winter, it is such a different feeling from the summer....it is so cold, but the beauty is worth it. Your layering here is gorgeous!

  4. I have always preferred the beach in winter to the beach in summer. I know I am virtually alone in that, but nonetheless, it's true - there's something about the cold and vast emptiness that I find very haunting and beautiful. Plus, it's always easy to find parking ;) And I think winter beach days can lead to much more creative outfits than summer ones. Throwing on a sundress is easy. Perfectly layering a sweater, blouse, jeans and boots is more challenging - although you're making it look pretty darn effortless here.

  22. I live by a lake and the mood is so different in the winter but it does have it's own beauty. I definitely take lots of pictures there with warmer weather as well.

  33. When it snows down here, it's so pointless. Especially if said snow lasts more than a day. Living on campus it's easy to get around and do art thangs, but then all the other buildings shut down so you can't even walk over to get a Starbucks break or go to the Rec. I ramble!

    Love the gingham peeking out and the subtle nautical color scheme, Lydia!
