Where: Out and About
What: Coatigan (Topshop), turtleneck (Uniqlo), corduroys (Uniqlo), ankle boots (Vince Camuto)
With our recent cold snap, I’m soooo glad I included this jacket in my 30 for 30 round-up. It’s pretty much like wearing a big cozy blanket all day long… but without looking like a crazy person… or maybe just a really stylish crazy person.
In other news, I’m entering Day 3 of my fruit & veggie detox, and I’m feeling pretty good. I had a major headache the first day, but that went away after a good night’s sleep. Oh, and if you follow me on twitter, you know that I’ve gone to the gym before work TWICE this week already! I’m pretty much a zombie before 10am, so this is a major feat for me. I’ve also been trying to go to bed by 10:30pm each evening, and it’s proving to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. What can I say, I’m a night owl!
Anyhoo, it’s about time for this old bird to do a few chores and get ready for bed. Ta-ta for now!
COATIGAN, hahaha. Hilarious. I want one, definitely looks super comfy and cozy!
Cute, cute cute! Just found your blog via your comment on blue collar catwalk.
I like that! Warm and comfy, functional and fashionable!
Check out my 30! Jen Hemming and Hawing Again

That jacket looks soo warm and cozy, I need to get myself one like that. This cold is getting too much! But I love how you paired it with the all-black outfit and let it stand out. Perfect week-end wear!
Love that coatigan (grr, hate this name though..)!
Don’t tell me about going to bed before 11..it’s a though thing to do. I’m also on a diet/switch to eating healthier. It’s quiet hard for the first few weeks, but once you’re in you hardly remember how you used to eat 🙂
Eating healthy is great and I’m all for it, but you need a balanced diet to be healthy. I avoid extremes and feel wonderful by using the Sparkpeople website. It’s free, well- researched and easy to use. I lost 30 pounds last year, even enjoyed doing it and I’ve kept it off. Give that website a try. Even my husband uses it to feel healthier.
I love this jacket – what a cool pattern!!! What type of detox are you doing? I have been thinking about doing one myself…
I’m just eliminating all meat, dairy, gluten and processed foods for 7-days to help clean out my system. So I’m mostly eating fresh fruits and veggies, soups, brown rice, herbal tea and lots and lots of water. I try to do this at least twice a year, and it really helps me get my eating habits back on track.
LOVE that pattern! Gorgeous.

Thanks for the suggestion. I used it a couple of years back and found it useful, but somehow it fell off my radar. I totally agree about avoiding extremes. I’m not really doing the 7-day detox to lose weight. I just know when my system needs a break, and I try to fast from meat, dairy and gluten at least twice a year and use it as a time to get mental clarity and focus on the goals I want to achieve in multiple areas of my life. Good luck to you and your hubby on your healthy journey!
Lol, I thought the name was kinda funny when I saw it on Topshop’s website. And you’re totally right that eating healthier gets easier over time.
Oh you definitely should. It’s super cozy.
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi there! I found your blog through the 30 for 30 remix list. I love your “coatigan”! This is something that I would never normally buy, but it looks great on you!
