Frumpy Sweater

Oversized Sweater and Cream Oxford,Wolfe Street//Head Scarf, Goodwill//Upcycled Ceramic Brooch, Gift//
Patterned Leggings, ZARA in Spain//Knee-Highs, Burlington//Boots, Ebay//Earrings, Mid-Towne

 Considering today is officially a snow day (which was announced yesterday around 9pm),

this is by no means what I'm currently wearing. However, I thought I'd share yesterday's outfit.

A friend commented that I looked "cozy." I understood that to mean that I looked frumpy.

Thus, I'll probably be turning this sweater into an oversized "snood."

Eh, at least I tried to make it work.

 Last weekend wasn't all that fruitful in terms of thrift scores, but I did manage to snag this scarf.

I dare say it may just be my new favorite scarf.

The color scheme. The floral. The tapestry design. Pure bliss!

It embodies everything I'm into at the moment.

I finally got around to wearing this brooch Mango bought for me.

She gave me all sorts of goodies whenever I came back from Spain this past summer.

I believe this brooch was once a ceramic plate that was then upcycled into this gem.

I wouldn't mind making my own in the future. Hmmm...

Anyways, my snow day will be spent getting caught up on school work, Etsy listings, and maybe a few crafts?
I do have a Valentine's Day gift that I need to create! Oh dear.

How's everyone spending their snowpocalypse?

Until next time, ♥.

A Cure for the Dreadful Shniffles Treasure Trove

I woke up Sunday not feeling so hot, I even had to cancel a brunch date with a friend.

I immediately began to fight back with the usual OTC meds, but I'm still a bit shniffly today.

I decided an Etsy Treasury reflecting this theme was in order!

By the comments already being made on this treasury, 

it's apparent that I'm not the only one suffering from the dreadful wintertime sniffles. 

I hate being snot-nosed and just yucky in general. Sigh.

However, I do like this collection of remedies that are sourced straight from Etsy!

Shop the actual Etsy treasury online here: A Cure for the Dreadful Shniffles

Let's hope everyone begins to feel better!

Until next time, ♥.

Snow Dazed.

 What's up with the recent lack of posts? What's up with that snarl? Hey. what's all that white stuff?

Silly little me went to my parents for Sunday breakfast and failed to pack anything, including my netbook.

The weatherman was actually right for once.

It was only about five inches, but it snowed! It really, truly snowed!

I was holed up, watching tv, receiving the occasional visit. Cabin fever, anyone?

Here I am attempting to free my poor car so I can venture out for some fun elsewhere.

I bundled up with what I could find in my sister's closet. Nothing fancy, simply warm.

I defied the (un)daunting roads so I could find myself once again with The Boy.

We trekked across the frozen tundra--ahem, golf course--looking for adventure.

Actually, I couldn't be that adventurous because I was clutching onto my dear DSLR, Cammy.

I didn't even take that many photographs! Shame on me.

The boy. 

He's all sorts of wonderful!

And we'll just leave it at that. For now.

Until next time, ♥.
