So it's official... it's a snow day! I can't remember the last time I had a snow day, probably when I was back at secondary school. It's crazy to think the boy spent most of the day clearing our drive yesterday and both our cars only for us to wake this morning to a freshly covered drive way and roads which even 4x4s have been moving slowly on. Last year I lived so close to work in our little flat but now I'm at my mum and dads house we are seriously out of the way in postcard snow territory - not that I'm complaining! I plan on spending the day reading some of my favourite blogs, catching up on Mr Selfridge and maybe even looking at Summer holidays.
Todays pictures were taken mid drive clearing yesterday, I'd just enforced a hot chocolate (with marshmallows) break a few minutes before - hey I'd been hoovering and doing washing all day, so I deserved a hot chocolate break too. The arrival of snow and ridiculously low temperatures make me want to layer up to the max so I knew my Zara faux fur gillet would be the perfect choice to keep out the chill. Now don't get me wrong it's never going to win any prizes for being the most flattering of garments but belting it at the waist certainly helps plus sometimes it's ok to be warm and look like a relation of the yeti. I teamed my faux fur gillet with this grey oversized ombre jumper from Topshop - it's incredibly soft and snuggly particularly with a thermal vest and Uniqlo thermal tee underneath, told you I like to layer. My coated jeggings were the only trouser of choice, with knee high socks underneath I may add - these jeggings have become a serious Winter wardrobe staple and prevent my get up from looking overly casual. Controversially I pulled on my black UGG boots to complete the outfit - these are definitely a love/hate piece in the fashion world but hey they keep my feet lovely and toasty whilst being comfortable, you can't say fairer than that. The finishing touches to my outfit include my wooly bobble hat from River Island and my super cute Moschino gloves which I was gifted two Christmas' ago. Now who wants to make a snowman?
Whether you're enjoying a snow day or have managed to get your bum into work (a huge well done if you have) I hope you all stay safe and warm and try not to stress - after all it's only snow.
What have you been wearing this snowy weekend? Have you been lucky enough to get a snow day?
I really want some of the Uniqlo heat thermal type clothes. I'm always cold (snow or no snow!)
ReplyDeleteI was snowed in all weekend which would have been okay had my boyfriend been at home but as he was away for his friends birthday it was just me and the Pugs! They hate snow as much as I do!
I love your Zara gilet, it looks very stylish and cosy.
