No Pants

Lately, despite my sheer love for them, I’ve been wearing very few dresses. The fault I believe lies in the discomfort while I was ill that has carried over subconsciously, and the general Winter malaise that tends to set in this time of year.

Plus, it’s damn cold! That alone is enough to chase a girl away from tights to the double layers of tights and pants. Plus, the abundance f cute pants and rompers in my closet doesn’t hurt.

No worries, the dresses will reappear shortly. I promise.

Merci

Trying But Not Too Much: Events That Aren’t Too Fancy

I had the pleasure of meeting up with a girlfriend for an exclusive fashion show preview. Quelle beautiful fun! It was a fairly intimate event that didn’t call for the most glamorous of get-ups, but still required a bit more effort. So skinny jeans, thigh high boots, and a sequined top seemed like the perfect way to say that I tried, but not too much.

As much as I love the fact that my daily life calls for super casual, I love to dress up. So when given the chance I’m all over it. I would’ve worn a freakin’ ball gown if not for the fact that it’s Winter, and therefore freezing.

Merci.

Now that we’re in the deep throes of Winter, I’m drawn to simple, monochromatic, and cozy. Layers, layers, layers – that’s the name of the game. Chunky knits and things that pile on to add warmth.

Basically, I’m turning myself into a big marshmallow puff ball, if possible.

This day I was on my way to assist at a shoot all day. So the mantra of the day was comfortable, movable *to lift and adjust gear etc* and no jewelry *you don’t want it getting caught on some lever*

Since I couldn’t use accessories to brighten my wardrobe, I went for what Andrew calls ‘loud’ pants. I love a good paisley. Much more so than a floral, and this grey and cream pant was perfect. They’re a bit big *they were on sale and the size left was a touch bigger than mine* so once I break them in it’ll need a good belt, but I kind of like the baggy boyfriend cord look once in a while.

It’s That Time of Year

That time where it gets so cold that I can barely stand leaving my house. That time where I literally run outside for two minutes to grab outfit photos because that’s all I can bare. Yup, it’s that time. Where I laugh and shake my head at my own stupidity for going outside at all.

Happy Winter!

There’s A Grumpy-Pants Pattern

I notice that in the last few posts there’s a distinct trend. It’s because when travelling *grandparents on both sides for Christmas* and when I feel a bit sleepy/grumpy *which I have been* I tend to go for the uniform that I mentioned on Monday.

Yup, that’s the explanation. Even with tights, it’s just really hard to get dressed in dresses when it’s cold. Plus somehow, pants are easier when you’re a grumpy-pants.

What do you go for as grumpy-pants clothes?

No Hats In Bed

A few nights ago, my girl was crying in her sleep. I went into her room to investigate why:

“Shhhh, why are you crying,” I asked as I stroked her hair.
In her sleep she answered, “I don’t want to wear a hat!”
“You don’t want to wear a hat?”
“No”
“Well, you’re in bed, so you don’t have to wear a hat, okay?”
She nodded and nuzzled into her blankie.

This whole conversation in her sleep.

Just before the huge snowfall I managed to grab two outfits that I haven’t yet shared with you. I know, I know. I should do things chronologically, but hey, I really wanted to show that pretty pretty dress, and then I wanted to ~~complain~~ talk about snow; so, I just bumped this a bit.

Hey, I always said I share my daily outfits, just may not be in the exact order I wore them in. That’s fair right? Sometimes, I’m just plain lazy *read: pooped from working and mothering* to edit pics and post them in the exact order they came in.

So shoot me. Or just send coffee…that might be the less murdery option.

There was a snowstorm.
There. Was. A. Snowstorm.
There was a SNOWSTORM.

And it was cold.

I decided not to leave the house.

And tea. I decided to drink a lot of tea.

Spiritual Boost?

With the cold I’ve retreated to the comfort of sweaters and jeans. My health is still not super great, so staying comfortable and cozy is a must needed boost to the spirits. And super soft, jersey sweaters are kind of awesome for that.

You guys have any favorite go-to things for comfort and spiritual healing? Things that make the soul feel good? I love tea, but would love some more tips.
