When Life Gives You More Winter, You Wear a Cozy Sweater



Will I never learn?!?  Honestly (insert sigh).  Just as I was getting excited at the end of February and ready to pack up some of those favorite winter pieces, what happens?!?  We get a HUGE dump of snow.  HUGE!  This is the most snow we've had all winter.  The good news!  It's the beautiful, fluffy, sparkly, white stuff that people dream of at Christmas time, but not so much in March.  Haha.  Anyway, the good news is it's warmed up and I love being outdoors.  We took the opportunity to shoot these pictures early Saturday morning before mom/dad life took over, and I was excited to pair this statement sweater, also worn here,  I received for Christmas with my suede skirt.  My mom had to fix up my skirt seam so I haven't had a chance to wear it for a while but I love the texture and the color goes with everything.  My suede skirt is like a good jean skirt for fall/winter.  






This weekend our plan is to get outside in the warm weather and do some tobogganing with the kids and friends before it all melts away.  Also it was International Women's Day yesterday, so I am taking my mom out for a lunch and shopping date on Saturday.   What are your plans?

    1. So I had to search up 'wellies'. Haha. If I am playing in the snow with the kids, I have real waterproof and super warm boots that are not pretty but totally functional. :)

  2. Same here. We got so much snow this week and I just heard we might be getting more. That sweater looks so cozy and I love the embroidered detail. I hope you have a nice weekend! Sierra~Beautifully Candid

    1. Sierra, I saw all of your snow on your blog and you were so good about making the best of it. It's tough being cooped up with little ones during the long winter months. Hang in there!

  3. Such a cute outfit. The embroidery on your sweater is so pretty and love how it looks paired with your skirt.

    1. I am with you girl! Rain is just a dreary as snow. As much as I love my rain boots, I am ready for open-toe shoe season.

    1. Thanks Ruth. I guess if you can't escape the snow, you might as well embrace it.

    1. Thanks Lana. We really never should be surprised because we always get either a snow dump or a cold snap one more time in March, and sometimes in April. Haha. Life in Saskatchewan! I bet your flowers are starting to bloom in Seattle.

    1. Thanks Sheree. I do love how the snow glistens in the sunlight but I am ready to see it melt away. :)
