A brighter alternative

Since I've been wearing so much denim lately, I thought it was time to switch things up a bit and opt for this bright red pair. No gloves today either, I have a fresh manni (which always puts me in a good mood) to show off, and since temps are in the mid 30's, I'll deal with the cold for a few minutes.

A week from now the sun will be setting at 5 pm! That might sound like a strange thing to be excited about, but longer days mean more opportunities to take outfit photos after work, and in general. I'm really hoping I can soon regain my backlog of outfit photos and get back into my routine of having my posts done over the weekend, rather than the night before.

Winter blues

This winter is getting me down. I realize I probably sound like a broken record, these past few weeks I've discussed little else than the weather, but for some reason this one is hitting me hard. Outfit photos have become a struggle, and this weekend I didn't take any; hence I have no outfit to share today.

Perhaps it really has been colder this year, perhaps it's Seasonal Affective Disorder, perhaps I've just lost touch with the joy of getting dressed. I'm in a horrible denim rut that I can't seem to find my way out of, and I'm sad I never managed to share any of my holiday outfits here. I keep hoping I will have a chance to put them back on and take some photos.

Hopefully my winter blues won't last too much longer, and while I know shopping is only a temporary pick-me-up, there is something pretty satisfying about clicking 'add to cart', and thinking about warmer days.

Another simple combo of denim and a sweater to get me through the cold. Hope you are all staying warm this weekend!
