Winter Wear.

January 30, 2013

So it’s sorta, kinda winter in Arizona. Here are some outfits to prove it…

{You will notice by my sleeve lengths, bare legs, and lack of scarves and gloves that I use the term “winter” very loosely.}

Top: Kohl’s // Blazer: Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s // Watch: DKNY // Bracelet: BR Factory

Left – Top: eShakti // Blazer: Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s // Jeans: Banana Republic // Heels: Nine West // Necklace: Target
Right – Dress: Old Navy // Shoes: Nine West // Necklace: Caroline G Shop
Left {Christmas Eve} – Top and Jeans: Banana Republic // Sweater: The Impeccable Pig // Necklace: Caroline G Shop
Right {New Year’s Eve} – Top and jeans: J.Crew Factory
Oh, but you must know that we had one week {okay, like 5 days} of REAL winter. Like put on a winter coat, temps in the 20s at night, never above 50 by day, winter. I know this doesn’t compare to the Midwest, but I think it legitimately counts as COLD at least. And it means I got to wear my pretty blue coat from Anthropologie that I bought last Christmas on super sale for $45 {which has been sitting in my guest room closet ever since}. I actually don’t like being cold, but I do like wearing pretty coats. The end.
Sweater: Kohl’s // Pants: Banana Republic // Shoes: Jessica Simpson // Coat: Anthro // Bag: Ballard Designs

    we haven't had much of a winter in LA either! My east coast friends are making fun of me that all I ever wear are dresses. I think it's just jealousy 😀

    I love your animal print dress. All of these outfits could very much be used during winter in Austin. Yesterday it was 86…

    We're also based in the desert SW. We will all be in spring clothes soon while the rest of the US is in their winter woolies! Love your outfits!

    It's been kind of fun to have a few cold AZ days, but I'm ready for AZ spring… Not summer. I'm not THAT ready yet… 🙂

    I am jealous. I feel like DFW has had a winter colder than I can handle and I am currently ready to pack up and move to the Gulf Coast. Because seriously. Winter. Ick.

    You look cute, even though your outfits are not winter, as most of us know winter.

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
