Photos while it's blizzarding

Blizzarding is a word. Okay? I feel like these photos don't accurately capture the onslaught of snow I was dealing with, which is disappointing. When a person drives to the beach to take photos with a timer during a snow storm, that should be quite evident.

At least I had a coat with a nice hood to keep me warm; a coat I thought was gone, until I found it in a garbage bag while sorting through some of my sister's things.

I got this coat in 2009... I even did a blog post on it, though this was before I was taking outfit photos. When my sister went away to school three years ago she took it with her and I hadn't seen it since.

Once rediscovered, I revived the wrinkled mess of a coat with my new clothing steamer, brushed out the fur trim, removed the pills with a sweater comb, and finally went over it with a lint roller. Good as new.

Snowed in

Last week I was so diligent about taking outfit photos, and just when I thought I was getting back on track, or even ahead, Mother Nature decides to dump a blizzard on me.

These photos are from Saturday, with the baby storm preview of the massive one currently accumulating outside my window.

What to do while snowed in? Watch movies and shop online of course!

On Those Days When the Mere Thought of Going Outside Makes You Cold

I find myself spending hours pouring over the clearance sections of various web sites, and I'll go around, picking out various things, then searching for any coupon codes I can find, and should any good ones turn up (particularly free shipping) I might indulge a little.

I might have also indulged a lot today at American Eagle. It started out innocently enough - I've been wanting some stacking rings and they had a set of three for $15.50.

Then, my feet were feeling particularly chilly, and some cute fair isle print slipper booties were on clearance for $10.

And just for the hell of it, I stuck this super cute coat in my shopping cart - something that buttons straight up to the top and has a fur trimmed hood -- something that would likely keep me much warmer than my pea coat.

After a bit of poking around, I found a nice %20 off coupon code which made the coat only $48 - such a steal! And that in turn lead to the discovery that there would be free shipping on an order over $100. So at that point it only seemed like the logical thing to do, I mean really, waste $8 on shipping? It would simply be crazy.

So that is what happens to me, on the days when I decide to stay in and not go shopping.
