Warm & Cozy in Navy, Army Green, & Leopard Fur...



dressing for the snow

What I'm Wearing...

* Navy Grandad sweater from Asos on sale for $26!!! {still a favorite!!} I wish it came in 20 colors, I'd buy them all. Actually I kind of love Asos for sweaters... they have a wide selection, are nice looking and relatively affordable {& go on sale frequently}. See me wearing it here with floral pants and sneakers
* Vintage Eddie Bauer jacket
* DIY Faux Fur Scarf... find the tutorial here
* DL 1961 Jeans via Shopbop... find the closest style here
* Crocs Wellington Boots {light weight and very comfortable - though their snow boots are better at keeping my toes warm. These aren't lined but are more comfy than Hunters}
* 3.1 Phillip Lim ~ Pashli bag in black
* Lumete sunglasses in Seafoam

Apologies for over-posting this week... it's a combination of trying to catch up from moving week and trying to fit all my last-minute Christmas posts in before Christmas has come and gone! So I hope you don't mind, next week I'm sure will be a bit slower, as we will be celebrating and relaxing with family and friends.

I'm having the best time getting dressed up here. It's really so different to have to think about dressing for the weather. I can't just throw a sweater on without a few layers under and a few layers over as well... and it's really really fun! While it does kind of get ridiculously chilly in LA, getting overly dressed for cold just seemed silly there, but it's a must here! The first week while we were unpacking and I was still living out of a suitcase wearing mostly leggings and sweats and sweatshirts {like in my last post} but now that I have my clothes available -- which are more visible thanks to a new walk-in closet, I'm having such a fun time putting outfits together again. It's like I have an entirely new wardrobe, when in fact, I do not.

I wore this last week and it was the first time I got dressed for going out in the actual snow. I was still a bit unsure how to go about dressing for the snow, so it's pretty basic, but since then my creative juices have been flowing.
