Musing on the the Weather (fascinating, I know)

cardi: ???, tee: target, scarf: diy, leggings: walmart, boots: thrifted

Happy Friday, friends. I am so sorry, but we do indeed still have our tree up. Oops. The plan is to take it down today, but there will still be several outfit posts including the tree, so try to ignore it back there, ok? ;)

This is one of my 'holy molie, it is freezing cold!' outfits. I have on tights, leggings, fluffy socks, an undershirt, long sleeve tee, cardi and scarf. Yep. I totally believe in layering. And I do. not. believe in being cold. Geez. This is the South. Winters around here are usually in the 50s with the occasional snow and cold day. Like maybe two or three a year at most. And it always warms up and melts the snow within a day or two. It hasn't hit 50 degrees since Christmas. In fact it has mostly been below 40. The parking lots still have snow mountains! What. is. the. deal!!!

Anyone else experiencing colder than usual weather?

Of Hobbits and Dresses

scarf: diy, dress: old navy (old), flats: thrifted

perfectly matched tights and flats

Happy Wednesday, y'all! It seems that I am in a dress/skirt phase at the moment. I have always preferred dresses. I am reasonable certain that I pinned something from Sally that inspired this outfit with the navy, burgundy and leopard. And I was tickled to discover that my new burgundy tights were a perfect match for my burgundy flats. Awesome.

So, the hubby and I saw The Hobbit in IMAX 3D which was incredible. I really loved the movie, and even thought I wanted to see it, I didn't expect to love it. You see I read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy back in junior high. I read the Hobbit that once and maybe one other time. LOTR on the other hand I have read at least 7 or 8 times. Those books are incredible. They are epic and well written. There is good and evil and romance and a happy ending. The Hobbit on the other hand had no female characters and was basically written as a boys' adventure tale. And while it is a very good one, it didn't appeal to me as much. So, I was excited for The Hobbit, but not sure I would love it as much as the others. Well. I do. It was incredibly well done from the acting to the filming to the effects. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend it. Now, I would not recommend it for younger kids as it could be a little scary, but my 7 year old nephew saw it and loved it. So I guess that depends on your kid.

If you've seen it, please leave your thoughts in the comments!
