Fireplace Ready

I think I wrote this last winter, but those pics of Mariah Carey teetering around snowy Aspen in high heeled snow boots (who even makes those??) and cleavage always made me laugh. I get wanting to look like a snow bunny but that didn’t feel like it. While I love sweaters of all shapes, colors, and sizes, I loathe being hot inside. It will ruin my mood in two seconds. I’m going to be a disaster during menopause. I recall my ex husband watching in horror as I rolled my 11 month pregnant body in the snow before having my fourth child. He was my only winter baby and those itchy maternity sweaters made me want to kill myself. It’s like wearing a wool parachute. Sweaters are so beautiful though, and definitely are perfect for yummy winter gatherings. This one has been serving me well for about a dozen years. It’s Theory and the warm color palette is seasonally on point. It’s not my current taste but I’m glad I have it. It’s important to hold onto certain items as out tastes change. It’s actually pretty cool to utilize them totally differently than you had initially done. The dark skinny jean, sweater, boot combo isn’t normally for me. It’s a solid look to photograph because many women do like to dress that way. It is also easy to put together and there’s something to be said for that. I always have a t shirt or tank underneath in case I get overheated. These Minnetonka boots I’ve also had forever. I’m not the biggest fan of fringe but I love them here. I also love these boots with a cute miniskirt or long boho dress. Dressing seasonally is certainly yummy; warmth is never wasted.
