Layering Up, Just in Case
I wore this out to dinner the other night. I had a passing thought that I should put on a coat, as the temps were dropping below 30. No, no. I’ll be fine. Its just a few block walk to the restaurant.

So we get to the restaurant, sit down and order some appetizers and drinks. Shortly (like 1/4 done with my drink shortly) after, we see flashing lights and hear an automated announcement saying to leave the building (note that this restaurant is inside a huge hotel in downtown Milwaukee). Everyone in the restaurant was looking at each other like, “are they serious?” (You know the look.) Staff comes around saying that we do, indeed, need to leave the grounds. Great.

Well, what better time to whip out my toasty little hand warmers!! Yes, I do carry them in my purse. I’m weird. But now I can confidently say that a couple of these will keep you at least somewhat warm!! We ended up having to wait outside for 45 minutes in the blustery, 20-something degree weather. And while my face was quite cold, my body was warm from having the warmer over my sternum area, and my hands were toasty from holding on to one! Even Josh eased his complaints when I gave him one. Be impressed, lol.

ooh, love the bag! such a pretty and versatile color! lol on the handwarmers, glad those came in handy!
Thanks! I agree, the bag is such a great color. And dark enough to not show dirt!
Love this! Super cute!
I love this outfit and I’m going to take your advice and get some hand warmers. I’m always freezing in the wintertime!
Me too. Ugh, I hate the cold! But it’s a good excuse to buy too many coats, I guess
My first thought…did you take your drink with you?!?
Those pants are great! And love the heels…perfect point and just the right amount of shine. 🙂
Did you take advantage of the J. Crew sale? I ordered a few things from Crewcuts for my nieces, but nothing caught my eye for me. Waiting for better sale items.
lol, I did. But it was a hot cider thing and got cold super quick. I actually didn’t buy anything from jcrew, surprisingly. I’ve been quite underwhelmed with the sales and the merchandise actually. I’ll wait for a better sale, too 😉
I got woken up in the middle of the night once at a hotel by a blaring fire alarm. Didn’t know what to do but dragged my blear-eyed self down to the lobby just to find myself the only one down there – apparently it was some sort of false alarm, but me in my jammies was the only one who didn’t get that message!
Haha, that stinks. I probably would have gone down too, tho. Better to be safe.
What a great look – you are so polished and preppy! Did they ever figure out what tripped the alarm?
Thanks 🙂 nope, they never told us. Probably some annoying kid or someone smoking or something
your hair is lookin’ gooood. i like those pointy pumps with the perfect length pants and i always look to you for master non-frumpy layering
