The Calm Before The Snow

     You wouldn’t know it from these pictures, but just hours later all was white.  I know I was complaining about the weather Friday, but that was before we had a lake effect snow warning from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning…six to ten inches…say what?!  The high today was 22 degrees and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet.  We don’t normally get smacked with lake effect snow storms until January, so needless to say I’m none to happy with that little bit of business.  In case you haven’t picked up on it, I’m not a huge fan of snow.  It’s pretty to look at if I don’t have to go outside in it, but considering the fact I need to remain gainfully employed staying holed up all winter in cozy pj’s and a blanket isn’t an option.
     On to happier things.  These pants.  Really diggin’ ’em.  I have resisted the faux leather pants trend for a long time.  The faux leather MC Hammer pants don’t count because they’re baggy and loose, although I guess they were kind of like my gateway drug of faux leather pants.  These aren’t leggings, but they are considerably tighter than the baggy ones.  I threw them on Saturday for grocery shopping and a road trip to a real mall with a Target.  Yes, my criteria for a real mall includes a Target, and a 35 minute drive constitutes a road trip.  In any case, the pants passed the comfortable test so they’re keepers.

I like the red shoes and the hat!

Bummer about the weather. I think we may have snow this year earlier than normal too. Most years we get it just before Christmas. I have a bad feeling though when it is already so cold.

Stay warm!

Wow Debbie you look cool!!! Everything is about PERFECT!!! The cap is so cute. LOVE the complete look. Needless to say that I want your red booties 😉 I am on the lookout for red boots since ages, but it’s either not the right ones or sold out in my size, duh! Bummer about the weather 🙁 Well it looks nice as you said from the inside, but that’s all. Gimme just snow on x-mas eve, if at all, lol.
Here’s a cozy hug for you (((((D))))

And the booties are sooo..comfortable too which is an added bonus. Snow should only appear right before Christmas and be gone December 26th!

I totally understand the drive to a real mall thing. :o) I made the 45 minute drive to “town” on Saturday and decided to look for those super cool leopard camo color pants you wore the other day. They.didn’t.have.them! *boo* I was describing them to the salesgirl and she kept saying how awesome they sounded and she really hoped they got some in ’cause now she wanted a pair. Oh well, I got some leopard leggings instead. :o)

I hate snow too! I haven’t experienced it for 7 years & will probably freak out when/if it arrives! I love these trousers! I haven’t embraced the trend either yet but they are on my wishlist! Ax
