Layers of Warmth

The temperatures are dropping very close to freezing, and so fast this year! I don’t know about you but I feel like it generally doesn’t get that cold until December, though this year winter is rearing it’s ugly head a little sooner that I was expecting. Lucky for me, a brand new Uniqlo opened up right by my work! If you haven’t heard me wax poetic about the wonders of HeatTech before, well, you’re clearly new here. Every winter I stock up on the Japanese made basics with their built-in warming technology in preparation for the North Eastern weather. With the opening of their newest mid-atlantic stores meant good shopping (admittedly, twice during the Grand Opening weekend). And with everything under $50 the prices truly can’t be beat. I mean, $10 tees and socks? YES PLEASE.  I stocked up on gifts for my family in New England, cozy socks for Z, and some beautiful layers for myself, including this shawl and turtleneck; the perfect layers for our first frigid weekend.

Chilly Daze

March is here and although the Groundhog told us we’d have an early spring there’s still a wintery chill in the air. As much as I’m looking forward to lighter jackets and less layers I’ll miss my cozy winter accessories. Especially after such a gorgeous weekend (3 days + of 60 degree days) it’s hard to pack back on the layers and prepare for what looks like a snowy end of the week.

It Still Takes Two to Make a House a Home

You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattlin your chains
Well back then baby, it didn’t seem so strange

An outfit post at last! This winter, much like last year’s, has been brutal. My last outfit posts were rough enough to get shot and then I did a lookbook photoshoot, also cold. So basically I’ve been avoiding standing outside in near freezing temps. Yesterday’s snow storm was so pretty, though, it was hard to not want to go out and shoot a quick casual look, amidst walking the dog and letting him eat all the snow his little heart desires.

A silk-cashmere turtleneck sweater layered with a Canadian Tuxedo seemed like the perfect winter layers, lest we not forget the Uniqlo HeatTech socks (I will never stop raving about them). I have always been an Ugg gal in the winter, but this year Z bought me these limited edition Sperry x  J.Crew boots, which I love. Lined with shearling they’re as cozy as my uggs, but the rubber and leather gives it a more utilitarian look, while also being mountain-girl-chic (or so I keep trying to tell myself).

You Led Me to the Slaughter, But I’m Someone’s Daughter

A. Wang told me neon was still a ‘thing’, so one dreary day I dug up this lacey summer favorite and added some weather appropriate layers. Nothing says winter like Uniqlo HeatTech (turtleneck and tights) and suede knee high booties.

Are you doing anything to wear your summer dresses this winter?
