Weekly Wears: Delicate Balance

Here's a big shout-out to my MIL for getting me these Hunters for Christmas.  I have a green pair as well, but I have worn these black boots for most of the snowy season.  She's the same lady who is responsible for Hope's cat shelf, so you can imagine how cool she is.  Very.

Dress: ℅ ModCloth;  Shirt: Marshall's;  Tights: ℅ ModCloth;  Boots: Hunter;  Hat: Thrifted;  Glasses: BonLook (Eva in Sepia Kiss)

I've been trying to find that weird balance of taking it easy because I caught a blasted cold, and keeping up with all the responsibilities because I'm a busy lady… it's tricky.  My normal 2:00am bedtime has switched to an 11:00pm bedtime, and I'm not quite as quick on my feet as I'd like to be.  This cold won't last forever (fingers crossed) and pretty soon I'll be back to my regular self.  Right?  Riiiiiight???

I hope your week is illness free and absolutely wonderful!

    2am bedtime?! What time do you wake up? I have to have at least 7 hours of sleep (and no more than 8). I'm trying to be a better "morning person".

    I love those tights. I am starting to view plaid is a neutral. It is just so classic and pairs with everything (or at least in my closet).

    glad I'm not the only one with a 2am bedtime! Once the baby is asleep is when I get most of my work done so I'm definitely a night owl out of necessity.

    A 2:00 a.m. bed time??? How do you do it? If I don't have 9 hours of sleep I'm ridiculously grumpy. Cute outfit and I hope you feel better soon!

    Oh that jumper is too cute for words! Those pockets! Also, I'm super impressed with your late bedtime. If I go to bed at 11 I'm staying up late!

    The shirt and jumper match so well that should go together as a dress, you look adorable! Hope you completely recover soon from that cold.

    I love your blog and have kept up with it for a long time. Your outfit posts have always been inspirational to me. They encourage me to make an effort to dress nicely for myself. I was wondering if you could do a post on fashion help, because sometimes I find it difficult to make an outfit out of certain clothes. Just to name a few pieces that I personally have difficulty with: wearing converse with a dress/ skirt, what to wear an orange and blue polka dot skirt with, how to dress down a skirt or dress, what to wear with colored tights (yellow, blue, orange, red, etc.) or patterned ones, and how to look cute while staying warm. I’m sure your readers also have fashion difficulties, so please help us! Thanks for considering the idea! =)
