My Dear Readers, please excuse my two days off blogging but these crazy swings in temperatures that went well below our normal winter weather wreaked havoc on my sinuses and I was dealing with sinus pressure migraine level headaches…

Today’s look is entirely evolved around keeping warm…

I layered a red Loft sweater under my red floral blouse, but that wasn’t enough for this woman who gets cold easily, so I added my quilted zip up sweater from Steinmarts.. 

The addition of the third layer did the trick!

These red jeans were a Christmas present from my dear husband who saw me admire them at BJ’s.  

I originally planned to wear my newest boots that came in the mail yesterday and my first purchase from 6pm.com.  I quickly switched to my knee high boots for added warmth…

FYI 6pm.com delivery was pretty quick and I also ordered Birkenstocks for just $26.99,They are now back up to $57.99!   Remember I love to score things off season for great prices. I ordered them in both pink and black, perfect for walking in the summer and for days when I feel my boho side wanting to play…

Dear Readers, I hope you are all staying warm and not dealing with the flu that has been having a big outbreak!  I wanted to say that I love this look with the red floral blouse, and red jeans and imagine it styled with my creme moto and tan booties sometime in the future…

Gratitude

I am grateful that my dear husband snuck back after seeing me look at these jeans and surprised me with them!

I am grateful for my fireplace and the reason to light a fire these past few days.

I am grateful to my dear brother who drops wood by anytime he finds it on jobsites and the  pile that will get me through the rest of winter!

I am grateful that the crazy temps in the teens are gone, can you believe we are expecting a high of 72F degrees by Saturday????

I am grateful that my headache was gone today!  

I am grateful that my 18 year old, Nicholas started his first job today, working for my husband’s boss and that he really impressed him with his computer skills !
