Here in Saskatchewan we are now really in the winter phase of the year. Our winters are long, lasting usually into April and sometimes even May. Although I love all the sweaters and cozy feels that come with late fall/early winter, it wears off rather quickly but yet the weather holds on to us. There is much mental health that declines with the short days and numbing cold that prevents many from getting outdoors. Each year I am reminded to be thankful for the warmth of my home, the stability of my job, the love of my family and the ability to buy all the winter things that get and keep us outdoors in the winter months.
These pants are SO warm and perfect for the season. They were a bit of an investment when I purchased them at the beginning of winter but are currently on sale, linked up below. They are made up of 15 % wool and the heavy material keeps the legs nice and warm on a mild winter day. I love the wide leg and this year I am trying to branch out from my regular fitted outfits, see the oversized blazer look here. At first I wasn't sure that I could pull these off but when your teen gushes over the pants at the store and asks if she can borrow them, well that's a mom win! I often bring items home that I am unsure of and style them with a bunch of different items from my closet to make sure that I will get enough wear out of them. I am very careful and selective what I bring into my closet, as I am really trying to keep my options limited for each season. Usually I do spring/summer and fall/winter rotation and at the beginning and end of each, I look through to donate or consign any items that haven't been worn. I don't want too many choices that I never reach for and I don't like the idea of putting so much stuff into the landfill, although I am NOT AT ALL PEREFECT when it comes to this! The cropped sweater I paired up the pants for this outfit is several years old, I'll link up similar options below, but I love all the embroidery details on it and I'll probably wear it until it has holes in it. I love the rich colors used in the embroidery detail and how they pop against the black background. I paired it up with the simple gold chain that was a gift for Christmas and is currently in heavy rotation. It's a statement on it own but looks great layered with a long necklace as well.
Happy Friday!!!!! What's on the agenda?
