Snow Day Parka with a Rabbit Hunt

I needed something fresh for yet another snow day bundled up.  We have record-breaking frigid temps today which inspired some fuzzy selections like this Snow Day Parka with a Rabbit Hunt.  The bulk of the parka and faux-fur boots needed a little whimsy so I hunted down some bunny rabbit accents in gold.  The Hello sweater and knee-padded trousers give this outfit a casual-comfy (without getting too bummy) feel and the Burberry scarf is just a classic (and warm) piece.  I'm in love with the dotted ear-muffs that double as headphones and may order them to help me get out of this cabin fever slump I'm beginning to feel. Yet again.  I'm starting to believe I wasn't made for snowy conditions.  Give me the sunshine!

Sweater Weather





Basic all-black here again, but this time, it's paired with a lovely sweater that was hiding in the back of my closet.  The perfect contribution to my all-black layering is this super thick and super warm 3/4 sleeve sweater cardigan (from my cousin).  So much black needed a costume necklace and a detailed silver cuff.  Plus, brrrrr, it's like 8°F out!  We had snow which makes for great sweater weather, and allowed me to work some easy feltie details onto my OldNavy tote bag.  I brought in some note-taking items (and found a really old panda throwback case) for my breaks, to get those new year's goals written down.

Here's a similar set to shop:
