So typically, our winters in Louisiana are not that bad.  Of course this week we were hit with an ice storm so we are all bundled up right now, but is most cases, I can get away with a casual dress and boots during the winter.  And I love that.  Being able to pair my boots with a cute dress and not freeze my tail off is one of the many reasons I have committed my life to the south.  It is funny to think that I wanted to live in a New York for grad school.  I didn’t end up doing it because I got married, BUT I really wanted to live in New York City for a year to say I did it.  Now thinking about it, I think I would have died.  Seriously, yesterday and today we have had record lows in Louisiana and I have not wanted to leave my house!  Could you imagine if I lived in New York and had to endure blizzards on the reg??? Yeah, probably not my cup of tea.  So with all of that being said, I enjoy VISITING cold places and wearing the clothes for a couple of days, but I will stick to my flirty dresses and boots if I have a choice!

I have to say, I am not much of a cold weather person.  I am that girl who loves the first two weeks of fall because I can wear my boots for a minute but then I am kind of over it.  I will admit, I like to be in my bathing suit by the pool in all honesty.  And I was doing JUST THAT in the Bahamas this past weekend, so all felt right in the world until I came home.  I made it back to Louisiana and apparently Mother Nature thought it would be funny to welcome me back with some snow.  Yep.  You read it right…it is about to snow here in Louisiana.  So you know what that means?  I am ready to put my sweat pants on, make some soup and curl up on the couch.  If I had a working fire place, it would be raging so I will have to light all my candles instead.  Hope you all stay warm out there!
