Calm Before the Storm

I came down with a bit of a cold this weekend, but it seems that I feel much better if I get myself up and dressed (and drink copious amounts of hot chocolate of course). A trench, cardigan, jeggings, and oxfords was about as comfy as I could get for a few errands on a 40 degree day! Yes, the temperatures got up to the forties today and it was blissful. Made me feel like spring is on it's way, although I know that tomorrow we (along with many other places in the country) are due for a massive blizzard making its way in. Maybe I'll get some snowy pictures tomorrow? :)

 

I pinned this photo the other day and that was the inspiration for my double collar ensemble.  I love the way it adds some interest to the look, and the denim collar on this blouse is so fun.

I'm going to try to wear a lot of pink and red this coming week in preparation for Valentine's Day. I want it to look like cotton candy threw up on me or something! I get really into dressing for the coming holiday's because let's face it-I love to get into character, no matter what the occasion!

These magenta oxfords were a thrift find from last week and I couldn't be more in love with them. They are soft leather and the most comfortable things I have put on my feet. Not to mention I'm planning to have so much fun with this vibrant color, pairing them with everything from sundresses to shorts (can you tell I've got spring on the brain?)!

I hope you stay safe if the blizzard comes your way tomorrow! Drink lots of cocoa and make sure to snuggle up with a good book :)

God Bless!
