Church was canceled. Awana canceled. Libraries closed. Even the community colleges were closed today, something my daughter was told NEVER happens. Spokane received as much as 17 inches of very wet snow over the weekend.
On an extreme January snow day, for some odd reason (my inner preppy?) nothing seems as right as a pastel fair-isle patterned sweater.

From the bottom up:
- My flat boots. Sorry we couldn’t light them up a little better. Suffice it to say, with having to walk through a foot or so of snow I am very happy I got these this year! (Around $80 at Macy’s this fall.)
- Very worn jeans are easier to tuck in. (So old I don’t remember when I bought them or how much I paid, but they are Gap. For sure they were not over $30.)
- The coral pink cashmere turtleneck, on its second wearing within the week. (New. $30 at Nordstrom Rack.)
- The pullover I almost biffed this fall. I’m so glad I didn’t! The colors make me happy, it’s super warm layered like this, and the length and kangaroo pockets work with my proportions. ($1 at Value Village. It looked never worn and the brand is American Eagle Outfitters.)
Thankfully, we are all safe, warm, and happy. DD with Macy’s job already had today off. Yesterday we picked up some kerosene for our emergency heater. Just to be on the safe side.
Anybody inspired to send in a Real Fashion for Real People entry? I’d love to run another series of them!
Safe, warm and happy is good! Fashionably safe, warm and happy is even better!
You look adorable. Glad you kept the sweater, too – it suits you.
ok, we are really homesick now! It was 70 degrees here and we were out in shorts and barefoot!!!
Enjoy the snow for us!

Wow, we didn’t get as much snow as you but I was inspired to dress differently today too. I wore dark jeans with brown suede boots underneath, kelly green cardigan over a dark brown v-neck tee, and the new touch … a knee length a-line dark denim skirt from Gap (bought at Goodwill recently). My daughter does this look all the time and its cute on her five year old self, so I decided to try something new for myself as we went on a field trip with people I’d never met before!
You have a great figure. I’m envious. And nice sweater layering!
