I Don't Wanna Grow Up!

It snowed in Texas today! Trust me, it's a big deal down here in these parts. They shut down schools for really what was just snow flurries to you northerners...but it was enough to make me play in the snow!I wore this today for work. This whole outfit is practically thrifted. I thrifted this Ralph Lauren Blazer for 3 bucks and the Red Riding Boots were about 7 bucks.
For some reason, my students LOVED this Crested Blazer. I had a little boy run me down in the hall to ask me if it was Polo. He was shocked to hear that I got it from the thrift store! See...I do inspire the kids:)I've worn this sweater from Nordstrom's every winter for the past four years to the point that I've stretched out the sleeves. I wish there was a way to have it tightened again. It is so warm and chic! It's kind of a chic SNUGGIE!
I got so excited about the snow (cough, cough...sleet) that I decided to show you what I wore yesterday. I actually wore the wrap with a black dress yesterday but you get the point.

I've been in quite the mood lately but the snow frenzy was just enough to make me smile!


*Please excuse the cheesy poses...I was having fun!

Having fun is not cheesy at all - it's beautiful!

The blazer is f'n awesome and I love it very, very much! And that red sweater? I die! I adore how you're wearing it! Gorgeous.

Lovin that ralph lauren blazer and for $3 dollars!! WHAT!! Village Value in my city would have wanted at least $10! That was a steal for sure. I also love that red sweater so, so chic on you!! Diva you know how to make it all work!

Tonya said...

Please share with me how you are able to write "God's Favorite Shoes" across your photos! Great photos in the snow! Glad you could enjoy it!

Quasi Serendipita said...

I love your pictures! (And I can't believe it's snowing in Texas!) Visiting from SITS, hope you're having a great weekend :)

It's like that with snow down here in NC, too. The world shuts down. My first year here, from PA, there was a tiny little dusting on the ground one morning. I didn't even think anything of it and drove to the school where I taught- only to find out that of course it was cancelled.

Fabulous thrift store finds!

i love snow !!!!!!!!!!!

Tonya said...

Thank you for the "text' info! You are right about the teens! I do have two that I use often for tech stuff! I will definitely ask them and I am sure they will figure it out as they have done many times before. Thanks again!

Trina said...

You know what? I saw Miley's line and she has some cute pieces.

Man I wish that snowed would have lasted longer. Maybe it will snow again for Christmas and we will have a winter wonderland. One can only hope.

Unknown said...

You are so freaking cute! And so is snow in Texas, according to your pictorial. Cute, cute, cute! I love your posts.

Miss T said...

Girl, about the text on the photos, my teen had it done in about 5 minutes! Thank you for the advice. I did think about asking them, but thought surely "this one" must be too hard for them...NOT! Thanks! Yeah! I can put it on my photos now!!

Jan said...

I can't believe you thrifted all this great stuff. I never find anything good when I thrift. I esp love the red sweater very chic.

Elaine said...

Oooooo, you are just too cute, LOL. You should see all the snow here in the Midwest...it's a blizzard and I stayed home from work!

FabFash50s said...

You are adorable! Great, great clothing finds. The red wrap sweater is yummy, and the belt rocks it! You may find this article from Martha Stewart helpful, it's about "blocking" a sweater, which is essentially reshaping it after hand washing. Keep up the great blogs! xxxooo E

Danielle said...

I DIE for that RL Blzer!!! and so glad you got snow!! Wish we were getting some!

Unknown said...

everything gets shut down here if it snows too xxxx

Mimi and Tilly said...

You look fantastic in both outfits. I love the red wrap top and your red boots. Gorgeous. I have some long black knee boots that lace up the front with big black ribbons and I LOVE them. I bought them in 1994, and they are just beginning to pass over to the big boot cupboard in the sky. :( I will have to keep my eyes peeled for some lovely thrifted boots. Sending smiles. :)

You look fabulous in the snow! You are so blessed because you are a woman who has enough style to wear her clothes, while my clothes tend to wear me, which isn't quite as effective. I love the joyful spirit:)

Congrats on your SITS day in the Spotlight! You are indeed shining!

Maria said...

Gosh! What gorgeous designer fun! Happy SITS day.

Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry" said...

That was a great bargain you found there! I guess I don't shop at thrift stores because I feel guilty shopping there when others are really struggling financially more than me.

Had to laugh that you get so excited over just those few little flurries of snow!

Congrats on your SITS day!

That IS the cutest "play in the snow" outfit ever.

Laura said...

We got tons of snow last Friday here in Mississippi. 3 to 5 inches. That never happens.

Happy SITS Day!

Kearsie said...

I grew up in Alaska where the presence of snow is just the norm. But now I'm in Alabama and you wouldn't believe the mass hysteria when a few flakes fall from the sky.

Also, that reminds me, I need to stock up on some milk and bread.

Lisa said...

No school? Seriously?

Gamma Sharon said...

I love the Blazer look and the Red Sweater is gorgeous.
Again, Happy SITS Day!

said...

Love it! And love your style. Congrats on your SITS day!

Dee Andrews said...

Debbie @ OtRD said...

Rachel Lundy said...

You look like you're having so much fun! I love the snow. I'm glad you got to enjoy it this winter, even way down in Texas. :)

LisaDay said...

With poses like that, Oprah should be calling any time now.

Happy belated SITS day.
