I don’t want to breathe.

Skirt: Made by me.  Striped Shirt: The Loft.  Jacket/Mint Necklace: Ross. Boots: Aldo.  Purse: Thrifted.  Yellow Necklace: Vintage. 

I discovered the other day, the overwhelming benefit of having a faux leather bomber jacket.  Those babies keep you exceptionally warm.  In Arizona I shunned this jacket, pushing it to the back of the closet for it’s sweat inducing lack of breathability.  But now I live in Seattle, and it’s cold here.  A wet cold.  And I don’t want to breathe, I want to be warm.
Incidentally, I’ve never been so happy to be cold, because I am thoroughly convinced that Seattle is the most fabulous city in the world.

Happy Friday everyone.  After today, the littles are out of school until the 3rd of January. 
 This both thrills and terrifies me at the same time.
And if you’re a mother you understand why.

    Yes, I know exactly what you mean about being thrilled and terrified. It will be nice next week (no early mornings! squee!)… but then that week AFTER Christmas, you’re wishing someone would take these children and entertain them!

    Pretty outfit. I would never think to pair those patterns, and it looks great.

    As for terrifying and thrilling….try home schooling three littles. ;) Every day those feelings course through me! Enjoy your Christmas vacation with them.
