Winter Layers

     Brrrrrrrrrr it has been cold out lately! Maybe it is due to this polar vortex thing (or you know it's January in Canada) but it is bone chilling freezing outside. Now I am a girl who prefers dresses and skirts to pants and I have been known to weather the winter (hehe) while still wearing my beloved dresses. However this winter has been rough. Although I love reading personal style blogs and tend to get most of my inspiration from them, most of the bloggers (that I follow) experience milder winters. Tights underneath shorts and a pair of ankle boots are cute but it simply will not cut it! So I thought that I'd share my favorite way of keeping warm.

Step 1:
I start off with a layer of tight fitting clothing. A tank top and some fleece lined leggings fit close enough to the body that I can wear them under other things and not look too bulky.

Step 2:
I add a pair of black skinny pants over my leggings. Up top I add my favorite chambray shirt which starts to bring long sleeves into the mix.

Step 3:
Finally I put on my sweater. I have not yet figured out a way to wear sweaters and not have it look a little bulky but that is part of the appeal. Also there is no way I am going outside in these temperatures without a sweater.

And there you go. This outfit formula has almost become my cold weather uniform. Luckily I have enough sweaters, button downs, and pants that it does not get too repetative.

Last First Day of Class

       Wow I cannot believe that I am starting my final term of university! I know that the time will just fly by, and, even though I know I'll feel like I am tired of school by the end of this I am going to make the most of it. I love university and learning and know that this special little bubble that I get to live in as a student is pretty unique.

As you can tell by all the snow in the background it is still pretty cold out. I think that this week is one of the coldest that we've had all winter in this area. The day after these photos were taken it was so cold out that I wore my fleece-lined leggings underneath jeans and i still felt chilled. This definitely can pose a challenge when deciding what to wear in the morning.

Sweater - Value Villiage

I am still working out how to get the best lighting for photos. The above photos didn't show off the great plum color of these jeans so I threw in a photo taken from inside too. The closer look also allows the subtle pattern in the shirt to pop a bit more. I will be the first to admit that I am not great at taking photos. One of the goals with this blog though is to teach myself what works for taking photos - which I think I am doing, little by little.

As always, I will be
