Brr! It stopped snowing today, but we have nearly 12 inches of snow on the ground. By afternoon, it was starting to melt away in big slushy puddles. Good! I am done with this winter business!

Of course, lots of people HAD to stay home; the schools were closed/people live on hills/people live in remote areas, I get that. One of the "bonuses" of living close to my work is that I never get a snow day. There's no excuse for me, ha!
Outerwear - the Unsafe Polar Bear was introduced to two of my 20+ years younger coworkers who had invited me out for a walk around the block in the snow.
- Fur head wrap - thrifted
- Fur boa - Danier Leather, thrifted
- Gloves - Danier Leather
The stuff:
Sparkly bling:

A few last pictures of the snow!
The Castle, all snowed up.
You are ROCKING the dress/sweater/Jennifer Aniston look! Sending warm vibes! X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess! I appreciate the warm vibes!
DeleteIt is such a Jennifer Aniston /90s look, but yours is much more fun with the colourful printed tights! I hope that the snow all melts away by tomorrow for you. Send it our way, we are waiting for a break in the heatwave here! Flooding up north, bushfires down south and we are safe but a little over the heat in the middle!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I'm glad I chose to shake it up with funky tights. The snow is starting to melt - we even have blue skies! Sending you some chilly winds, my dear!
Deletesending you lots of warm vibes! ;DDD
ReplyDeleteYou rock this 90's style, love the layering and the cute dress, and particularly love the tights and shoes! Brilliant accessorizing!
Glad that the Polar Bear have been introduced to those new coworkers!, probably they're amazed by your fabulousness!
besos
Thank you, hon! It was a fun but easy look to do. Ha, yes, they were very impressed.
DeleteHow much snow? Gah! I don't envy you that at all.
ReplyDeleteThe polar bear looks magnificent, no grey puffa jackets for you despite the challenging weather.
I love that you made signs for the workers who made it in! xxx
Way too fricking much, Vix! So happy to see you back! Well, I do have a poo-brown puffer, but I don't like it. My coworkers LOVED the signs!
DeleteOver winter as well!!!! Yep yep the 90s D&G!!! 90s did minimalism very well. Love it. I love that you live in a walking friendly neighborhood. That's a huge bonus in my book.
ReplyDeleteYup, it can end right NOW. I loved some of the 90s looks, so I'm always happy to find good quality pieces from that era. I could not live in an area where I couldn't walk everywhere.
DeleteOh wow - a wool slip dress from D&G seems like a dream. Like someone else commented above, this is so very Jen Anniston in Friends! In fact just a few weeks ago I almost purchased a tee+dress combo that was similar but cotton.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of the signs is so cool! There are too few of us in the office for anything like that.
I was pretty excited when I found it - it's even made in Italy, unlike modern D&G. Oh, yes, I loved those tee-dress combos! They felt weird to me at first, but now they are so de rigeur!
DeleteWe have over 200 people here, so it was very noticeable that so many were absent.
Extra warm vibes on their way from Belgium where we had a sunny, almost Springlike day. Love your Jennifer Aniston outfit, that's totally something she would wear. And wow, those tights, shoes and necklace! Had to smile at your cubicle signs. I didn't need snow to stay at home today: there wasn't any public transport due to a strike! Still waiting for the right moment to introduce my one and only colleague to the grape ape ... xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann! That's what we should be having! I had to add my own zing, as you note. Enjoy your day off! Ooh, wear that Grape Ape!
DeleteSo sorry about the snow, I feel you. Winter be gone!
ReplyDeleteHowever I do very much like the vintage wool dress, especially with the classic cream sweater. Friends has nothing on you! Move over Jennifer!
The tights are such as an eye popping update. You always choose an assessory that makes your outfit spectacular.

Yes, Elle, it is time for it to be over! Thank you - it was nicely warm without being too hot or too cold. I had to add my own "Sheila" touch in the tights/shoes.
DeleteLove your Jennifer Aniston outfit! Your tights, shoes and sparkly bling make it way cooler though! Looks like major Unsafe Polar Bear weather. I'm ready for Spring!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryene! Yes, the Unsafe Polar Bear is getting a workout this winter!
DeleteWe had Tuesday off work as the University closed because of adverse weather conditions. I love that dress on you - it hugs your curves beautifully and looks very "beatnik cool" layered over a short sleeve sweater.
ReplyDeleteTuesday was the worst day here of the whole week. Thanks, Shelley! It's a favourite.
DeleteVery Jennifer Aniston, until we got to the knees and it became very Sheila - lovely combo x
ReplyDeleteHee hee, thanks, Anna!
