Snow Day

Sweater - Old Navy / Skirt - JCrew / Booties - Kelly & Katie (old) / Necklace - Loft (old) / Bracelet - Baublebar

These pictures are from last week, when the snow was only just starting to fall.  Now there's at least a foot out there.  So it doesn't look that bad in the pictures, but it practically a blizzard at the time.  If our neighbors didn't think I was crazy before, they definitely do now.  While I was out there, our front gate blew shut and locked me out, so I had to crawl through my neighbor's yard to get back in.  Luckily, it turns out this skirt (that I was lusting after all winter) and sweater (a Christmas gift from my sister) are surprisingly warm so I didn't suffer from hypothermia.  Although they're certainly not the best for creeping through the snow...

Ensemble: Pastels

I'm really into pastels right now, they're so soft and pretty.  I got this sweater and wasn't too sure about it until I tried it with these pink jeans I bought last near and never really wore.  I love when I'm able to rediscover something in my closet!

My sister got me this pretty pressed leaf necklace for my birthday.  She thinks I don't like it so I had to prove her wrong.  

On a sidebar, I have some obnoxiously long legs.  My boyfriend is six inches taller than me yet we have the same inseam.  These jeans are supposed to be ankle length.  Ummmm, incorrect!

Ensemble: Dots & Chambray

Good Monday readers!  This outfit is actually from a couple of weeks ago.  I had some stitches in my leg, so I had to rock my flare jeans for a couple of days while they were healing.  I realized that I haven't worn them on a regular basis in six or seven years.  Oh, the joy of pants just slipping off instead of fighting to unstick them from my calves!

My brain actually had a hardish time coming up with ways to wear flared jeans after all of these years, but I ultimately decided most of my regular combos worked just fine, hence chambray and a sweater.  

Of course, once the stitches came out I went right back to my trusted skinnies, because really, they're much easier to wear with boots.  And boots in the winter in Chicago are important for ensuring you don't end up with little feet popsicles.  But perhaps my comfy flare jeans will come back into play once Spring decides to roll around.  Have you found any older pieces in your wardrobe you want to start rocking again?
