wearing lately: real life

While retailers and influencers have had their spring outfits all over the place lately, I'm here with a dose of real life style... because it's still winter! (Case-in-point, I took these photos last Thursday, and by the next morning everything was covered by a couple of inches of snow.) 

Coats, boots, and sweaters are still 100% the norm (if I even set foot outdoors), no matter if the calendar does say March. Drives me a little nutty to see so much spring stuff online because it's hard enough to have winter drag on without having these unrealistic yearnings - but oh well, at least we had a couple of days last week before the snow came back when I could wear this cocoon coat that I love so much, and some cute booties. Back to the huge parka and snow boots now. The other upside for those of us still in winter is that the gear is all on sale now, like this coat, so you can get a great deal and still be able to wear it right away!

And for fun, here's what the outfit looked like indoors where I spent the day hanging with Freddie - had to take a couple of silly mirror selfies when I noticed how cute our stripes looked together 💛
