i can't even explain how warm it is.
after being in a deep freeze for ~ 38 days.
today was a glorious day.
above 0. sun shining. SO much to be thankful for.
another crazy JOE find.
this coat.
the quality is impeccable, and leaves me blown away everytime i sift through superstore.
some of these coats go for hundreds... and mine, well it is too cheap to even discuss ;)
and oh micheal kors- i have worn these boots to the max.
i have to contact MK headquarters and let them know just how amazing these duckies are.
i truly put them through the ultimate test.
cold canada.
-40 temperatures.
snow.
ice.
freezing rain.
endless hours of thrifting.
and no joke : every time i wear them in the snow, people come up to me to ask if i'm okay!
just about to head out to watch the bro play in his basketball game.
oh what a beautiful day.

    I really love your blog! I get so sick of cali girl blogs that can get away with wearing open toed shoes in winter, while i'm freezing wearing 2 pairs of pants!
    it's great to see someone endure cold weather and not sacrifice fashion! also, it's good to hear that mk boots can withstand such weather conditions. i'm always scared to wear designer boots in the snow. <3

    That coat looks like it is warm and its def. stylish. I am obsessed with coats but its always hard to find one thats warm and you dont look like a marshmallow. This one totally works. Of course those shoes are awesome. Nice to know they can withstand anything.
