knitting, creating, and loving life in the Midwest
In my neck of the woods, it gets warm around midday but mornings have been pretty chilly so I find myself bundling up for the school run, then slowly removing layers by pickup time.

Here are some ideas when the weather likes to keep you guessing!
Happy weekend!
Last year was the year of the cardigan/outerwear. I got – both as gifts and purchases – some nice new cardies, sweaters, and even a peacoat. This year, I will be focusing on pretty tops and blouses. No more plain t-shirts here!

Luckily, there seems to be an abundance of pretty tops, just in time for Spring and Summer!
After years of empire-waist nightmares, could a proper waist be back in style?

I am digging these dresses from Old Navy. In fact, I think I might get one. Or rather, I might chase around the area for one because my Old Navy usually doesn’t have the cute stuff on the website.
I am 5’1″ and look 7 months pregnant when wearing empire-waist. I would love a cute little dress like this one to dress up and down in Spring and Summer. Sweet!
get it in as many colors as you can!
I swear I would be in trouble if Target made these jeans in more than TWO washes, but since they have only the two, I will admit that I broke down and bought the medium wash a couple of weeks ago.
I already had the dark wash and they were my favorite jeans ever, but with spring coming a lighter wash was needed and welcome.
My mom gave me a gorgeous peacoat for Christmas. I love it, it fits wonderfully, and it’s blue. Huh?
Other than jeans, I rarely do blue, and I never do gray, which I associate with blue. I guess because I love black and burgundy too much, and recently started my tan/neutral/chocolate obsession, so that’s what I have been focusing on, but I’ve started to think of lovely outfits to top off with my new blue coat.
Now I can’t wait. In fact, I’m probably going to throw the thing on tonight, even if I have nowhere to go.
