Last year I finally ordered a true winter coat. For several winters I had gone without a warm winter coat, only ever wearing my dressier coats. I know that isn't the end of the world, clearly I survived just fine. But now that have a true winter coat, Nebraska's harsh winters are much more bearable. I … Continue reading The Perfect Winter Coat: Patagonia “Down With It” Parka
This time of year always has me tempted to find a fun new festive outfit for holiday celebrations. But realistically I don't need a new festive outfit for each year and new occasion. Especially being 7 months pregnant I don't want to buy something that I will only be able to wear once. So instead … Continue reading 3 Ways to Make Your Everyday Outfit More Festive
