Winter Green

My positive attitude promises a coming year of great happiness and success.

Monday has a way of sneaking up on me, but I can't say I didn't have a lovely weekend. I met up with Meg on Saturday for some outfit photos, lunch, and coffee - nothing is more crucial for the blog on these short winter days than being able to get in a few outfits over the weekend, and getting to do it with another blogger always makes it enjoyable and efficient!

We got another dose of snow, a bit more than the 'dusting' predicted, but I suspect it will disappear like the last bout just as quickly.

On Sunday I baked an apple pie, Sean roasted a chicken, and it was the perfect low-key day to wrap up the weekend.

Is it strange to plan an outfit around a coat? Because while I wouldn't typically opt to wear head to toe black, I knew I wanted something minimal to just let the coat shine.

Spot of leopard

Life brings me only good experiences. I am open to new and wonderful changes.

When it's 18° out, I try to build my outfits around my outerwear. I have an abundance of cold weather accessories that probably don't get as much wear as they should, so I dug out these cute furry leopard mittens and fur scarf. 

I'll admit to being fixated on having a pair of furry mittens that I featured in one of my gift guides, even though I knew I had these, (which I hardly ever wear) I had to talk myself out of clicking purchase probably a dozen times. I know it's going to be hard to get out of my bad shopping habits, but I'm hopeful that I will be successful with my shopping ban and then I can work on having a closet full of items which get constantly appreciated and worn.
