snow day (almost)

We’ve been pretty much drowning in snow here in Ohio, so lately I’ve been condemned to my high leather boots and jeans. The wind is just so brutal when I’m walking home at night that I haven’t been brave enough to go with just tights. Although I questioned my purchases of both the hat and the boots at one time, ever since we’ve had all this snow I have been definitely changed my mind.

The only bummer about this hat is that you cannot hear anything when you’re wearing it.

On this particular day the real snowstorm started while I was at work, so when I got out downtown was all but deserted.

I had a good time watching the snowball fight that some kids began while I was waiting for the bus though.

Jeans? Again? I know, I know. But I like this whole ensemble a lot, I really love the color palate. This was also a bit of a special occasion because I can fit into my high-waisted jeans again! I always gain a bit of weight in the winter (who doesn’t) but I had sadly gotten to the point where I couldn’t really wear these guys comfortably. Although due to the giant pile of laundry I have yet to do, I didn’t have any other clean jeans so I tried them on and VOILA!

RETROactive posting- part 5

Well, I believe this will be my final retroactive post! I finally got up all the pictures that I somehow lost in the cracks of blogging. This little number was something simple I wore out to dinner with my Dad. I love this dress, but I tend to forget that I own it sometimes. I’m just starting to play with mixing colors in a less conventional way, and this was one of my first tries. I think I did pretty well! Normally I’d have gone for some really light color tights, but I really like how this turned out.
