winter's got her last word

I've been meaning to show you all this super duper cute sheep sweater I found in Old Navy back in December. It has quickly become a favorite of mine! I actually wanted the fox one in the store but they only had an XS in that one, and I wasn't super desperate, so I went for this one instead and I am so glad I did! Let's be real, foxes are so cute, but I just feel like they've been so prevalent in the past few months or so throughout the blogosphere, that it's always nice to bring something new to the plate, yes? Don't get me wrong...I love all the fox items that some of my favorite bloggers sport! I just feel like if I had found my size in that sweater, I would have quickly gotten bored of it. 

Anyway, the point of this post is to discuss everyone's anticipation of the springtime and Winter's jealousy over the matter. She blew us with an unexpected blizzard that everyone expected to fizzle out into rain, but my gosh, the storm was beautiful! I just had to take pictures in my not-very-exciting outfit to show you (except for the sheep sweater, of course). 

I was pining for warmer weather so much, and when I woke up yesterday and saw the snow I was both shocked and kind of irked. To worsen the situation, I woke up rather early and the minute my family found out, I was put to the task of shoveling the driveway. Usually this was assigned to my father and brother, but the former was asleep and the latter getting ready for school so I had to do the job. 

In spite of myself, I quite enjoyed the process (maybe it was the empowerment I felt with it being International Women's Day or just the striking beauty of the snowfall)...belting out "Come on Eileen" and "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" while I shoveled the soft, wet mush. My neighbors don't have a very nice opinion of me, and my over-enthused attitude must have compelled them to raise a few eyebrows, but I don't care. I hadn't felt that good in a while so I was happy to have been having fun.

Of course, frost-bitten fingers are not fun but they're nothing a good cup of tea (and some comfort food like those scrumptious Milani cookies) can't fix! 

The exposure in this last photo was so bad in the original that all I could see was whiteness. Of course, with some sub-par editing skills, I found my face and half my body. I just think it looks pretty rad and wintry and cool so I thought it would be a nice feature for this post. 

Well, I think Winter made her point and is going to give in to Spring. Weather reports predict nice fifty degree temperatures in the upcoming week!
