Another Winter

I'm not ready for the winter yet, not at all, but here it is in spite of me.  As much as I dislike the cold, I do love waking up to the frost covered lanes and a field full of snow at least once or twice a year, so I guess the cold is just part for the course. 

I try to focus on the few good things to help me cope with this season.  I think back to the years I spent living on a tiny island in the Pacific Northwest, just a few miles shy of the Canadian border.  I referred to it as the land of perpetual winter and it rather soured my taste for winter altogether, but it heightened my appreciation for any location that boasts four distinct seasons.

After a few years without anything but winter, I've had all the cold gloomy days I can endure for a lifetime.  And yet, the cold gloomy days come anyway. So, I find some solace where I am able.  Funny, but it really is the little things that make life enjoyable.

For me one of the little things is each year around April I pack away all my winter things.  Then in October, just like an early Christmas, I get to open them up and find new pairings with old favorites.

So while you have no doubt seen this skirt, top, and these heels before, you've never seen this outfit and of course, the tights are new from WeLoveColors.  I love the way their tights bring new life to my outfits while doing a magnificent job of keeping away the cold, because while I may not be ready for another winter, it is definitely here.
