It may not be winter officially for a month yet, but it is a pretty good imitation of it. Our heating system chose this time to go on it's annual, season-opening fritz for a couple weeks, but all is repaired and cozy. We are reveling in the warmth. Feels like a vacation. North of us the cold is deeper, but it was in the high 20s and low 30s on Sunday when we dressed to make our trip to the Big City.
Cold weather is coat weather. That's one of my favorite things about the season. This little, heavy knit coat is perfect for my trips to town as it's light weight and cozy at the same time. These trips involve lots of time in a warm car or in a warm store with quick arctic-esque dashes between car and door. This is one I can comfortably keep on while I'm stomping around in the store.
My teeth gritting grin says it all ... "take the picture ... take the picture ... hurry up ... I AM smiling, so just take the damn picture!"

This is my first winter with the short crop, and scarves are taking on a new importance. I liked the almost reverse image of the coat's print this scarf added, and did a lot to keep my neck warm! This photo not only shows the patterns working together but how chilly and windy it was. A freezing gust poufed up the right side of my scarf, making it look like less of a gracefully draped scarf than an upholstered toilet seat cover. Just take my word for it, please. It looked much better when the wind died down.
Not taking on any topics tougher than winter coats today. Hope you are all staying warm and enjoying this most invigorating season!
Late Breaking: It's Visible Monday at the Lovely Patti's ... come on over and see what we all are up to!
