Milkshake Print

Lately, the last thing I want is a milkshake because it's gotten pretty cold around here. I've been craving a lot of nice and warm teas and chai lattes. I feel like every year I become less tolerable of the cold, which makes me feel old. Anyway, it's always a good time to wear a fun milkshake print dress! :)

Can you believe I've only worn this dress once? It's mostly to do with the fact that it's mint and for me, mint is a hard color to style for some reason. I love mixing red with it, which is what I did the first time I wore it and now again. I'm trying to figure out what other colors I could wear it with, especially now that winter is approaching and layering will be mandatory.

I often find that no matter how much I layer and how many warm pieces I buy, the cold still manages to make its way in and down to the core of my bones. This is especially true in January, February when the temperatures can get to be in the single digits or below 0. I have sweater tights, tights lined with fleece, a ton of big cozy sweaters, a down winter coat, tall waterproof boots, and still I end up freezing in the end. And because of this, you tend to just not want to go out as much, and you especially find it hard to want to go out in the cold and take off my coat while taking outfit pictures. I'm sure a lot of my fellow bloggers can relate to this. Winter can be a blogging burden. I'm never looking forward to it, with the exception of Christmas. After Christmas, I'm done with winter. Be gone!

This month flew by! It seems like November just started and now it's a little over a week from being over. I think I've finally figured out ideas for what I'm getting most of the people on my list for Christmas. I usually do most of my shopping online. I find that's where the best deals are, and I get to avoid all the crowds and lines. Win-win! Sometimes I like to venture out to shop during the holiday season, though. It can be fun to be a part of the hustle and bustle.
