Cold snap

What I Wore to Work Today: January 14, 2013

Tshirt: Target
Skirt: Goodwill, shortened
Boots: Famous Footwear
Coat: JCrew fall 2000

I bought this coat when I started college in Vermont in September 2000 and I felt really sophisticated. Until then I’d been using giant puffy parkas during the Minnesota winters and I felt very grown up in this. It was $220 including the extra Thinsulate lining, I’m pretty sure, and came in petite sizing for better-fitting proportions. I haven’t gotten much use out of it since I graduated, what with the whole 70 degree winters thing in this part of Arizona.

Except we had a cold snap this year, with freezing temps a few days in a row that killed a variety of plants and crops and made people exclaim “I can see my breath!!!” in wonder.
