Happy Clothes

By -
In Minnesota, in the winter time, and especially in January, things start looking a little stark, gray and bleak. We bundle up in big coats, hats, mittens and scarves. And then we live in jeans and sweaters and sweatshirts. But I am trying to break the depressing doldrums and bring some cheeriness to my wardrobe. These are a few of my favorite things I'm rocking lately.
Colorful Cardigans (one for each day of the week)



Brown and pink boots (macy's)




Chunky Tear Drop Ring (Charlotte Russe)

Textured Tights (Target)



Yellow Scarf (Old Navy)



Small things that help me feel cute and chipper throughout the day. (Please hurry Spring!)

LOVE your boots and the ring. I'm so envious of girls who are good at finding such awesome little accessories. You have great taste, too! Wear them in style.

I like everything except tights which make me feel cold and crabby. Meow.

I have to say, fall clothing is my favorite.

Oh, and I am a cardigan whore. I'm not joking. I wear them probably 4-5 days a week. I also have a pair of lacy textured tights from target, that I love to wear with my kneehigh black leather boots.

Ummm, Heather is coming to visit me in May. I think you should come too.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the ring!!!!!

It's difficult to find clothing that will cheer a girl up in the harshest of winters-but colorful scarves REALLY help!

Love the scarf and cardigans and the chunky ring - nothing better than some colour to cheer you up on a grey winter day.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
