So, by the time I got myself together for photos, It was snowing!!!!  

This outfit was totally motivated by the snow, my first thought was  that at temps in the twenty’s I started with my fur lined Twiggy London boots.

Then my next thought was layering and I started with my thrifted cashmere turtle neck sweater in black.  Doing the scan of jackets and sweaters I decided to stick with black zip up that I had purchased at Steinmart, but had yet to wear… Loving this no shopping thing I’ve got going right now…

 I didn’t just layer the tops, I added leggings underneath my jeans. To accessorize I reached for a scarf for added warmth.  This scarf is extremely versatile and can be worn with so many colors, follow this link...I love hats and the warmth they provide so,  if taking photos in the snow, a must have for a woman who hates cold weather!

The last addition to this outfit was my Dooney & Bourke purse, a gift from a friend.  Who knew I would use this color so much?   The snow was really coming down here, but I feel warm and spunky…

Dear Readers, I hope you all are enjoying a fun weekend filled with laughter and joy!  I put the things that bring me joy in the form of gratitude daily on this blog… How about you, my Dear Readers, chime in… What is one thing you are grateful for today?  

Gratitude:  I am grateful for the snow day as it is pretty and the kids love it( I am a wimp in cold weather).   I am also grateful for the craziness of Virginia Beach weather that has temperatures in the twenty’s and within days expecting temperatures in the sixty’s.  I am grateful that my husband surprised me with the new mantle and that I have a fire today, nothing better than a fireplace going in the cold weather.  I am grateful for the fun the boys had chopping wood for the first time in their lives and the quality time with Nicholas not having school due to a staff day!0
