On the Dot

Boden Nancy skirt | J.Crew top (similar) | Nine West wedges  Target bag, wedges + watch | Charlotte Russe headwrap

Spring Snow

Land's End Canvas Dress (similar) (similar) | J.Crew Cardi (similar) | HM coat 

Tommy Hilfiger boots | Steve Madden satchel (similar) | LOFT tights + belt (similar)

Last time I wore this dress was about forever ago. Back when the air was warm, the highlights were blond and about 100 other pleasant, summery memories that make me cry to think about now. The thought of putting heels on today made me cringe, plus, we've been hit with snow...AGAIN, so I'm trying to lay off on shoes that could very likely get me killed if I stepped outside the house in them. I'm pretty sure I should get fashion points for smiling though, considering the circumstances. Cuz' like, there's absolutely nothing absurd about shopping for plastic Easter eggs while wearing winter rain boots. Nothing at all.

Snow Prep

J.Crew Buffalo Check peacoat | Target sweatshirt + skirt | AE shirt + socks

Tommy Hilfiger boots (discount) | HUE tights | HM shades | Kristina J. hair pin

I've lost all track of time. The landscape around here has been nothing but grays and whites and pale yellows for weeks. Had the blah nothingness not clouded my internal schedule, this would have been my Valentine's Day outfit. (I may or may not plan holiday outfits in advance.) I'm giving it the recognition it deserves today. So far, so good. I might also give Studhubs the recognition he deserves today as well. Just for good measure. HA. 

YOUR TURN:

Are you a "holiday outfit planner"?

Snow Ready

Anthropologie dress | Target cardigan | J.Crew coat | Tommy Hilfiger boots 

LOFT tights + socks | Claire's headwrap | c/o Red Envelope watch

Four things I learned this week:

1)   Snow will blind you, if you drive in it long enough.

2)   It's awesome to have big snow-covered hills for the kiddos to slide down (now if only we owned some sled-like thingy for them to slide down the hills with).

3)   Snow + freezing temps + no school boredom = lots of hot chocolate and games of ROOK (oh, and baby lions).

4)   When you can't beat the weather, embrace it. The embracing thing is what I prefer, if you were wondering.

Wearing: A Multitude of Stripes

LOFT skirt (tutorial) and Top |  Forever21 Pumps  | H/M Clutch |  Target Watch

I'm a little obsessive-compulsive and tend to think if a little bit of something is good, a whole lot might be better. Pretty sure that's not how it actually works, but I'm totally gonna roll with that philosophy on this outfit. HA.
