I'm back for another outfit recap of things I wore over the winter!  I have some basic outfit photos, examples of an average outfit around the house, a few items I've bought recently that I love,  and a ton of cute selfies with Sean!

Generally speaking, I'm mostly wearing leggings, t-shirts, and hoodies around the house (though way less made-up than this photo).  I'm attempting to write a novel, which is challenging and time-consuming for me.

When I'm not writing, I've been working on cleaning and organizing the house, getting rid of things, painting, and planning.  Now that spring has sprung, we are doing a TON of yardwork and planning an actual in-ground garden this year.

Depression and anxiety have been pretty gnarly.  I think anyone with a working brain feels that pretty heavily these days, for obvious reasons.  

I am fully obsessed with Hozier.

I don't do much shopping or impulsive purchasing anymore, but clothes shopping within an intentional color scheme so that items in my wardrobe can mix and match has been fun and helpful.

We met up with some friends to make dragon heads out of clay!  I named my dragon Francesca, and Sean's dragon breaths smoke because he works with cone incense.

I think I did a decent job for not having worked with clay in a long time.  I love all the textures!

We've done a variety of walks and hikes in nature and our neighborhood!

Showing off my new Hozier hat and Soft Marl Cargo Joggers from Lane Bryant

I've been wearing various statement tees, hats, and an attitude when I leave the house. Scotland Cap - Heritage of Scotland   /   Surviving Purely Out of Spite Tee - Teepublic Woman of Significance Hat - Kinship Goods   /   Fuck the Patriarchy Hoop Earrings - Topple and Burn

For Valentine's Day, we painted some pottery and had a little wine-tasting sesh.

Flowers on a visit to the garden store

- I bought a new fleece robe from Lane Bryant over the holidays.  - One of my superpowers is matching things!  I've had this Columbia vest since 2018 or so.  I found the active capris at Torrid recently.  LOVE IT. - I always wear a cami under my clothes to smooth out lines and protect my clothes from sweat and the like.  Torrid had these ultra-stretchy ones that are a little thicker and work well for me.

I have also been wearing a lot of off-the-shoulder tees around the house, whether I cut them myself or not.

And loads of t-shirt and hoodie pairings because I'm mostly at home writing.

LOVE the Benton Springs Vest from Columbia, though they have discontinued all the good colors in Plus.

I'm colder now, so I have to utilize more jackets and layering.

- I bought a pair of UltraModal Lounge Joggers from MeUndies (I'm wearing a size 3X, but could have also sized down to a 2X.) and I LOVE them!  They retail for almost $70, but I got these for $18 over a holiday sale.  I will be buying more.   Also, the Lounge Pant is way too long for me, so be aware. - Do you love the Fourth Wing series?  I needed a Violence Tee!  I am wearing a 2X, but they go up to 5X.  Caffeine and Curses has lots of designs to choose from.

Bought myself, Sean, and our friends some presents through Heritage of Scotland.  Sometimes they have an extra percentage off sale prices, and the deals are so great! The blanket alone is usually $80, but we got everything, WITH international shipping, for just over $100. 😲 Stripey Check Trench/Wineberry Lambswool Scarf   /   Scotland Cap Mixed Check Heather/Pink Lambswool Scarf   /   Recycled Wool Tartan Blanket

- Found this ruched, mesh dress at City Chic for cheap and couldn't pass it up.  I am wearing a 20 and this was trying it on straight out of the mail with no bra, so....it fits great! - I am obsessed with this lingerie set from Torrid!  I bought it because the color combo is similar to the thyroid cancer ribbon colors.   Unlined Underwire Bra   /   Tanga Panty

But mostly, I'm wearing sloppy t-shirts and leggings covered in dog hair around the house.

I also put together another look for Her Universe, based around their Star Wars Rey Wrap Cardigan.

And now you are caught up on my winter ensembles!

  

Spring seems to mostly involve working on the yard covered in rain and dirt, leaving me sore for days/weeks.  I will definitely share our progress when we get to a good place.
