Black and White (and Neon)

 

Take One, Pass It On Item:  booties from Friday's post (and boyfriend shirt, which I didn't even realize!  I should get some bonus points for that!)

**I'm also linking up with Marion for the trend of the month!

I very rarely wear all neutrals, but I was really going to try for this link-up.  I put this outfit together and it just felt a little boring, so I had to add the neon belt.  It's still mostly black and white, right?

Since it wasn't quite pitch black outside when I got home, I braved the frigid temperatures and wind to take some pictures outside.  I was not brave enough to take my coat off.  I shouldn't be complaining about the weather, because we are supposed to get about 8-12 inches of snow, with blizzard-like winds on Thursday.   Is it spring yet??

Winter is Coming

As I mentioned on Saturday, Nebraska can't really decide on a season.  I almost wore shorts to run errands on Saturday, but it just didn't feel right for November.  Then Sunday morning I had to bust out my big winter coat.  The rest of this week is supposed to be more fall-like, so I am hoping for some more moderate days before the cold months set in.

I keep seeing "Winter is Coming" in random places and I'm never sure if people mean for it to be a Game of Thrones reference or not.  I also don't like how the TV show (which I haven't seen) is called "Game of Thrones," but the book series is really "A Song of Ice and Fire."  I just finished book three, and will likely finish four and five in the next few weeks and then I will have to be patient, because I suspect book six won't be out for a few years.  I should really wait to start a series until all the books are out!

Any recommendations for good books I should add to my list?

Circle Skirt

It was really windy the day I wore this.  I went to Target after work and totally pulled a Marilyn Monroe in the parking lot, only I didn't look glamorous and flirty.  I looked ridiculous trying to keep my skirt down.  I keep accidentally wearing flowy skirts on windy days.  I need to remember to look at the wind forecast when I check the weather each morning.

Winter Wonderland

We got our first real snow of the winter over the weekend!  It pretty much snowed all day on Saturday, so we thought it was the perfect night to try out our fireplace for the first time.  It was so cozy!!  The only problem is that we are out of Hot Chocolate mix!  I'll have to remedy that next time I'm at the store.   

Here's my outfit from Sunday.  It was pretty cold outside, so we took 2 pictures before running inside to warm up.  This is the picture where my eyes are open and my hands aren't flailing around.
