DeeOhGee In Winter Wonderland

   DOG's First Snow Adventure!

Dog is a long haired Chihuahua...we rescued him and could NOT BE MORE PLEASED.  HE sings, he dances, he SMILES..a big, true smile!  He is SUPER cuddly and loves everyone he meets. Loves other dogs, cats, kids....you name it!  Why someone would get rid of him is beyond me.  He makes me smile every.single.day!  And....he loves me!

We had a 'Blizzard' a few days back and I was not sure how he would do in the snow. Surprisingly he LOVED it!  Here is a short video of DOG dressed in one of his many sweaters, his camo coat (to stay on trend) and his snazzy little Ugg boots. 

Enjoy!

A Cross To Bear

The Jumper Makes Me Want To... "Jump-Jump"

This fabulous find was only $10 at Wetseal...I was buying pair of pants *that were also on sale* and the shop girl reminded me that it was one of those "buy anything get something else for $10" days.  I was hard pressed to find something I needed..let alone something I wanted.  Then I came across this loose knit jumper that is extra long, extra cozy and extra inexpensive!  So I went with it.  I've worn it quite a few times already feeling like I've gotten my $10 worth out of it even if it sits and doesn't get put into rotation again...but I have a feeling it will!  The white cross is somewhat see-thru so I paired a black & white striped tank underneath it for the photos.

My Favourite Coat

Wrap Me Up In Warmth & Cuddles

 I had been looking for one of these double breasted beauties all Autumn long...so imagine my happiness when I found this most perfect one on SALE!

Bottom line price after 10% discount $35!  Thank you Wet Seal!  I bought this fleece wonder in an XL so that I could wear large jumpers and hoodies underneath of it...the fit is perfect!  Of course I got black but if they would have had charcoal grey, I would have most certainly got that colour too!  Charcoal is my favourite colour at the moment....It's very 'British' to me! Tartan scarf is a purchase from last year..a grand $5 find at Forever 31.

Cobalt Blue Cardigan - Nordstrom

Black & White Pattern Jumper - Goodwill*

Jumper* & Neck Gear making me happy!

Grey Jumper - Goodwill*
Floral Extra Long Button Up Shirt - Forever 31

        

This jumper has found it's way on to my body quite often lately..it is a perfect fit for me and feels so 'lived in'.  I love the ease & comfort of it and the fact that is only cost $2.00.

The floral button up shirt is short sleeved and super comfy!  It was on a clearance rack at Forever 31 at the end of the autumn season last year so I picked it up for a mere $7.00!  It's nice in the summer I can wear it alone with nothing on top of it..or under  
jumpers in the autumn/winter.

The beanie is one of my MANY beanies I picked up from Forever 31...I have these in just about EVERY colour.  
They will be coming in handy as I'm growing my hair out from the short faux hawk pixie cut.

Stretchtastic!

Great Purchase #1,973

These tuxedo striped leggies!  Ahhhh so brilliant.  Not only are they super trendy and go with just about everything I own, they are the most comfortable, warm leggings in my wardrobe!  

I scored these online at Forever 31 for a smallish amount of only $11.  I had to have them since I'd been looking for them for nearly a month.  

If you are on the lookout for a good pair of thick-ish type legging (almost like a moto pant) that go perfect with your over sized jumpers then these are the leg wraps for you! 

Finally I have some pants I can wear these Aldo shooties with! 

This was such a comfy 'errand running' outfit for Saturday
