These are forgotten photos from January, right?

Wrong.

Last week it snowed, like hard core snowed.  It went went being about 70 degrees to a foot of snow in 24 hours.  It was ridiculous.  However, since I do seem to be having a hard time giving up my jumpers and cardigans, this gave me one more chance to wear all of my warm clothes.  

I recently discovered this scarf that was buried deep inside my coat closet; to be honest, I have no recollection of this scarf, but my mom insists that I've had it for years.  Basing the look around that, I decided to keep to greys, whites, and blacks so the pastel blue would pop.  My Vince Camuto jumper is always a go-to of mine when it's chilly, so I paired that with my high waist Topshop jeans and my favorite grey coat.  Since there was about a foot of snow, my Docs were one of my few options (I really should have more snow friendly shoes seeing that it does snow for about six months of the year where I live).  After putting the look together, the blue just wasn't enough of a pop; the red lip was the perfect addition.  Finally I threw on a hat because it was actually cold outside.

The "perks" of living here; it can snow literally anytime of the year.  Luckily the locals are used to it since the next day kids still came to school wearing shorts.

Thank You Mood

When I was in New York a few weeks ago, I was able to check something off my bucket list that I've wanted to do since I was 12: go to Mood Fabrics.  If you're familiar with the TV show Project Runway, I'm sure you recognize this shirt.  However if you've never watched it, Mood Fabrics is the fabric store where the designers go to buy their fabrics (basically speaks for itself).  Well, I have always wanted to go, so I'm just so happy that I was able to make it!  

The store was both bigger and smaller than I had expected; it's three stories and absolutely crammed with fabrics, but each floor is rather small.  On the show, the designers are always running around like it's the size of a football field, but I suppose that's just editing making it seem even more stressful.  Also, I wasn't able to find Swatch, the little dog often seen on Project Runway.  Lastly, while I was there my aunt spotted Project Runway designer Benjamin Mack, but sadly I missed him.

I'm not much of a sewer/designer, so I didn't purchase any fabric (although I did think about it), but before I even stepped inside I knew that I wanted one of the t-shirts.  

Now that I'm back home, I decided style the shirt rather warmly.  In fact, as I'm typing this, it is snowing, like hard core snowing.  My H&M cardigan and classic Docs are perfect for this new (and unexpected) snowy weather, as well as just this simple pairing with this tee.
