Cloudy, gloomy, grey and cold.

So what do you wear on a cold, cloudy, gloomy and grey day? I would say you "wear white or white and something..:-). " It's been cold and dreary over here for days with occasional peaks of sun and it wasn't "blogging weather" in my book especially because I take my pictures with my iPad. I'm thinking of buying a very good camera soon though **yes, I know I have been saying this for ages...:-).** and this means I'll have to break out my tripod again because my young photographers (my kids) would not know how to operate a complicated camera. I love what I do so I'm not complaining...:-). I know these pictures are very blurry but you can still recognize me from the pictures; right? Maybe, I'll just wear these same pieces again some other time.

I threw on this outfit to beat the winter blues and it's a very simple look to pull off; a faux fur vest over denim and a pair of booties; easily the default outfit for this cold dreary weather. The bag is from Cold water creek and it can be worn hand held or as a back pack. The forecast for this weekend looks very good; upper thirties and sunny and the kids have a birthday invitation for tomorrow so we are going to wear bright and warm outfits to celebrate the nice weather. I hope you are keeping warm too if you are currently experiencing the chill and winter weather.

Striped blazer and denim

Hi Friends, thanks so much for stopping by here today. I hope the weather is beautiful wherever you are. We are experiencing some calm in the twin cities right now although there has been some snow flurries here and there but nothing major compared to the storm that we experienced earlier on in the week. There is about two to three inches expected tomorrow though and that means the winter is officially here in MN. **Yep!!**

Jeans: Citizen of humanity Emmanuelle
Blazer: Venus
Hobo Bag: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Booties: Aldo
Ribbed Henly top: VS (old)
Bracelet: old

There is so much sunshine now that sun glasses might be needed through out the whole day. I apologize for the shadows in the pic; I couldn't do much editing with my iPad which I used to take the pics; thanks to my three year old daughter.

I was wearing old and trusted items from my closet again...:-).  I have had this stripped blazer for a while now and I'm surprised that it is virtually sold out everywhere. It is such a cool piece that it can go with anything. The old henly ribbed long sleeve tee is from Victorias secret and I have it in a couple other colors; wore a different color in this post here. They are warm and comfy and come in handy during the cold season. 

Luke 8: 22-23

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he (Jesus) went into a ship with his disciples; and he said unto them, let us go over unto the other side of the lake and they launched forth. But as they sailed, he fell asleep; and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water and were in jeopardy.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Before the Storm

Now this was Minnesota a few days ago before we got the snow storm and accumulated almost a foot of snow. These pictures were taken sometime last week and fast forward to now (a week after) and everything is different. We're still plowing the snow and cleaning up after the storm. I have started driving like a 90 year old lady again; it will take a few more snow falls to get back to the winter rhythm but I hope we never have any more storms. Let's take it nice and easy; a little bit at a time..:-). I know God is listening...:-).

Plaid Jacket: thrifted
Tee and Denim: Loft
Bag: random (old)
Shoes: VS

Did you notice that I took a break from those pointed toe shoes? Well, this is almond toe and pretty old. I purchased it from Victorias secret over eight years ago; old, I know...:-). I don't think they make this style anymore. It's kind of like pointed toe with platforms and a middleman between round toes and pointed toe shoes. I'm not a shoe designer so, I'll leave the rambling at that...:-). I love the color though; that's why I'm still holding unto them.

Plaid is definitely a cool print for fall. Do you know that I thrifted this jacket for $5.99? Well, you know now...:-). I went in to some of my favorite consignment/thrift store recently to look for a leather skirt and I ended up scoring some good pieces. I'll show you what I got soon. I hope everyone is doing great and well?

Thanks so much for stopping by

Bundled up in Plaid and Grey

Yeah, the first snow storm of the season in Minnesota is happening right now and it's also the first snow fall in the twin cities; Minneapolis-St. Paul for the season. There was so much talk about it over the weekend by the Weather forecasters and at midnight, it started pouring down and there are huge snow flakes still flying around now as I type. The temperature dropped a bit too and it's definitely obvious that old man Winter is here.

Well, I thought it was time to start bundling up and I made sure the kids were dressed up nice and warm when I sent them off to the bus-stop too. This Plaid midi skirt and grey sweater seem to be a perfect combination for a snowy, windy and cold day like this. I threw a belt over my old jacket too to achieve a military look; one of the currents trends in jackets and I must say it made me more warm. I'm thinking now of investing in a quality belted jacket. I got to keep an eye out for the end of season sales.

I Played and goofed around in the snow as my three year old daughter took the pictures with her ipad but we didn't stay outside for too long because it was still quite cold...:-). The pictures are blurry too but hey, it was windy, cloudy and snowy..

Did you get the first snow fall yet over at your end? Snow can be so pretty to look at but very messy to drive in. I wish everyone a safe Winter season with God's protection and mercy. Stay warm too.
