Okay, maybe I’m a wuss (I’d like to think otherwise, though!), but yesterday it was 38F, feels like 30F, with a 8mph wind! Brrrr! Needless to say, I’ve quickly swapped my trench coats and leather jacket for some proper jackets. Today wasn’t nearly as cold, thankfully, so I got my pea coat out for the first time in awhile. I love peacoats, thought I’m not sure if they are the most flattering shape on me. Due to having large shoulders, I have to buy my jackets much bigger than I would a shirt or a dress, which means they hang a bit off me, but this coat is so cozy and warm and there is something delightfully rustic about the wool and the plaid. Sometimes I wish I’d gotten a gray coat, but then I see pictures of this jacket and it makes me smile. Perhaps when I’m at home I will do the rusticated country version of this outfit with Wellies instead of over-the-knee boots.

I was supposed to lunch with my friends today, but one of them had a horrible hangover, so we postponed it until another day. I’d washed my hair (as you do) before going out, but when I got back in, I decided to put it up and tried out this bun that I read about last night. I mean, buns are pretty no-brainer, but I enjoyed the look so I thought I’d give it a whirl. My hair is getting ridiculously long (this is the longest I’ve ever had it) and desperately needs a trim, especially my fringe which is about 1-2″ longer than it should be and hangs in my eyes like a sheepdog’s.
Mmm, delicious coffee! What could be better then that on a cold day?!
