It's Wednesday already!?! The three-day weekend (we celebrated as Abe Lincoln and George Washington would have wanted: skiing the powder-filled slopes of Winter Park) has me scrambling to catch up this week. And yes, there are about 1,567 other things I should be doing besides blogging about clothes. But I've always been excellent about ignoring the "should-dos" in the interest of the "want-tos." It's a gift, really.
So let's talk about outfits, shall we?!
I am one who firmly espouses the belief that leggings are not pants. Unless you've been featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, I do not really want to view your butt covered in lycra. But admittedly, I can see the lure of the stretchy, warm and undeniably comfy legging. Especially when winter temps are frigid and that red velvet cake you might have eaten for breakfast is preventing you from buttoning your favorite jeans.
So I offer this slight modification to the my rule: Leggings are still not pants. But if you can pair them with with a top that adequately covers your red-velvet enhanced tush, then go with it.
Along with the leggings, this new scarf is helping me stay warm and cozy. It was a birthday gift from my Aunt Kansas and I adore the jewel-toned pattern against the neutral sweater dress.
To keep the look from being too top-heavy, I added my chunky Frye boots, which are currently my absolute favorite footwear. I've got two pairs of Frye boots and they are SO worth the investment. I swear they get better with every wear. Every girl needs a pair!
Something else every girl needs? A purple purse with a big ol' bow. You'll get fewer weird looks carrying this purse than wearing big purple bows in your hair. I speak from experience.
And with that, I'm off to tackle the other 1,566 things on my list. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
