The Formula

Faux Leather Lapel Coat (similar here) / Joe’s Jeans Skinny Ankle Jeans / L.L. Bean Boots / Forever 21 Shadow Stripe Scarf / The Sak Iris Satchel / Handmade Beanie

Scarves, coats, jeans, boots. It’s a little hard to break out of that formula these days. Luckily I have a decent amount of all four of those things to keep me going (hopefully) through til spring. Surprisingly, I didn’t have a grey scarf in my arsenal, so I snatched up this pretty striped one with one of my Christmas gift cards. This year I tried really hard to hold off on using those cards. I’d say mid-January is probably a personal best! And hey, I still have a few left. Baby steps!

This weekend we got dumped on with some snow yet again. Though it was the first storm we had where the weather was only just barely freezing, resulting in some mean snowman-making snow. James and I spent a good amount of time rolling snowballs the size of me down the driveway (check instagram for photographic evidence) on Saturday. Only to realize we had wasted a whole bunch of time doing that and still needed to grocery shop and actually shovel the driveway before some of my friends came over. Poor James got left doing the latter. Wet snow: good for snowmen, bad for shoveling. I’m thinking James may be recovered by next weekend. ;)
