What I'm Wearing: Snow!

Sweater: JC Penney
Dress: Thrifted (originally J. Crew)
Leggings: Tulle
Necklace: The Black Apple
Ridiculous Purple Snowboots: LL Bean

In the midst of a winter that's been surprisingly light in snowfall, we finally have a respectable winter storm. Nothing near as dramatic as what's going on in NYC, and Philadelphia, and Baltimore right now, but still, it's snow. And it's just not a proper upstate winter without snow, is it?
I felt pretty cozy in this get-up, even while dashing out into the elements. The leggings are a recent addition to my wardrobe--I bought two pairs just after Christmas--and I'm really loving them. We taller girls have to be wary of shorter dresses. I have a few that, like this one, rise a mile above my knee and shouldn't be chanced with just tights. You know what I'm sayin. With a little more opacity between my upper leg and the public view, well, I can be a bit braver.

And that's a good thing, because I love this dress.

Alright, in that one I look a little cold. C'mon now, it is snowing.

Ooo, you're lucky! Round these parts, our snow isn't enough to cancel anything. Phoo.

Thanks! I'm seriously considering buying about ten more pairs of leggings, they're so versatile!

Lately I've been into layering two button-down things over one another-- I like the dress buttons, too!
