Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful


As you can see, we got about a foot of snow overnight and now are experiencing a drizzling icy/rain mix with more snow expected overnight.  Pretty hunkered down here in warm and comfy clothes, not worthy of a post.  But fashion is almost always on my mind and through the magic of power and the internet, I'm been doing a little virtual shopping of the President's Day sales.  I mean I can't go outside!

While my world may be covered in white, I'm thinking about how much I love camel as a neutral--camel with black and navy and red...  I was pretty happy when I landed a camel cashmere pullover from Talbots RH sale. But once this dreadful artic weather clears out and the darn snow melts and our weather returns to normal (Lord I hope it returns to normal after this) it will be too warm here to wear much cashmere.  So I want something to wear into spring. 

Navy, under-represented in my wardrobe, has finally returned and I love navy.  I am so excited that it has once again returned in a big way and I think Ann Taylor is showing some beautiful things. 

So after receiving an  Ann Taylor promotion, good throughout the weekend, I did some online shopping and landed three sweaters and two striped tees.  The promo is for 30 percent off full price and an extra 60 percent off sale, use code SHOPANN. I found some great items in the sale stuff. 

I snagged a beautiful camel sweater jacket, a zipped navy cardigan, two striped tees and a blush sweater that just called to me.

Here's what ended up in my cart: 

Sweater Jacket
Striped Tee
Sweater
Striped Tee
Sweater

We'll see what works when it arrives.  Snagged any bargains lately?

Perfectly Plaid

 
I'm not a fan of Punxsutawney Phil, he is, after all a rodent, but the dislike really intensifies when his annual prediction is for six more weeks of winter. 

So. Over. Winter.

I've pretty much snagged up all my winter bargains.  It appears as if I'll get plenty of wear from them over the next six weeks.

Nothing more comfy than leggings and plaid flannel.  Loved the colors in this Ralph Lauren plaid on markdown at Lord & Taylor.  Throw on a pair of boots, a scarf for warmth and it's good to go.

Outfit Details:  Shirt - Ralph Lauren via Lord & Taylor (Similar;) Tee - Lord & Taylor; Leggings - Hue via Macy's (old, Similar); Boots - Vince Camuto via Lord & Taylor (available here: Volero Wide Calf Boot); Scarf - Gift.
