February freeze

My face, especially my nose and ears, looks painfully cold. Remember how I said I turn into Rudolph the moment a chill hits my face? Yep. Here I am in full red-nose force. It was snowing lightly during this photo session. I wore this outfit before the spring-like Pineapple Expresses rolled on through, bringing us warm rain and some convection! (A Pineapple Express refers to an atmospheric river--a string-bean-looking region of increased integrated water vapor (amount of water if all of the vapor in a column of atmosphere was condensed out)--that originates from around Hawaii.)

This look was inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest. I ended up repinning it and not following it back to its source until recently. My pin takes me to some other random Pinterest-like website, and from there I traced it back to Classic With a Twist, a personal style blog, and this post in particular. I saw this "fancy sweatshirt" layered over the chambray shirt and immediately decided that I would recreate it since I have the same sweatshirt! I kept it super simple and only added my faux pearl earrings for accessories. I'm also wearing my new Madewell skinny jeans (I didn't buy them this month--my no-buy is still going!). I scored them on sale and am in LOVE. I wore them three times before washing them and they never, ever bagged out on me. I highly recommend them!
