Hot and Cold

Last Thursday, it was sixty degrees outside. Two days later, we got a snow storm. Colorado is famous for the phrase, "if you don't like the weather wait ten minutes." I don't mind the sudden changes but it does make it hard to pick out an outfit. I've come to find that no matter if it's snowing or sunny outside flannels are the way to go. Paired with a cardigans and boots, I am unstoppable for any weather change.

Effortless

This past week was rough. It was midterms week and on top of my studies I had a busy ministry and personal life. The week was so difficult  I ended up getting sick. On a brighter note, when my studying took up most of my time, my effortless style kicked in. When I have no time in the morning, my go to outfit is a easy dress that can be paired with cardigans for snowy days. However, my least favorite part of this effortless style is wearing my hair up. I've always preferred to have my hair down but I've come to love a braided updo for the mornings I study instead of curl. My effortless style was the only part of my life this past week that seemed to work with ease. 

I'm gonna pop some tags

Even before Macklemore made it cool, I really enjoyed thrift store shopping. I have special methods of shifting through what would fit and what my grandma would wear. When I use my techniques, I always walk out of Goodwill with some treasures. Recently, I wore my J.Crew wool sweater that I got for only two dollars with my Patagonia ski vest I got for ten. At these prices, I am always ready for the snow. 

polka dot pants

My first half marathon is almost five weeks away. My nerves are heightened everyday I train but my love for running is increasing more and more. One of the many benefits of training for a half is the weight I've lost. However, I didn't notice till a friend had to have an intervention with me about my pants. All pants have become too bagging that my friend said it's embarrassing. Although it was a surprise to me, I found it as an opportunity to buy new pants. I adore the latest trend of patterned pants and luckily I found these polka dot pants on sale. They're not too big or too small but fit just right.
