Winter Preparation Begins
Yesterday I looked out the window and saw flocks of geese flying south. Watching them leave made me feel sad. Our brief summer is officially over. The geese are outta here. But I felt a little bit happy too. The preparation for winter begins. It’s time to think about what warm clothing I’ll need this year.
Last year my feet were always cold – I need a better, warmer pair of everyday shoes. Last year I wanted to adopt the leggings/tunic look and never did – this year I’m going to. Last year I got by with one beanie to keep my head warm – this year I’m going to start adding to my warm hat collection so I can have a great hat for every look. This year I want a new warm coat – a colorful one that will cheer me up when the sun goes MIA for a few weeks.
This year long project is drawing to an end. And I continue to reap the benefits of the work I’ve done for the last 12 months. I’m excited and looking forward to gearing up my closet for a new season. I’m thoughtfully shopping online and browsing the stores. I’m taking notes and not freaking out. It’s like a fun, strategic challenge I can finally enjoy.
The frustrations I felt a year ago are gone. I’ve relaxed and let go. I’ve learned enough about myself, what I like and what I need to be able to move in confidence.
Winter? Go ahead and bring it!
I have been feeling the same way… sad to know the sun is leaving, but excited to bring out my fall & winter wardrobe. I want to expand my beanie collection. I’m looking for the perfect slouch. Do you have any suggestions/websites?
Sarah – I’ve been browsing Amazon.com for hats and have come up with a whole list of awesome ones to choose from!
Oh fun! I’ll have to start my own hat wish list.
Aww, we don’t really have winter here we pretty much skip from fall to spring. I miss buying sweaters. Are you knitting/crocheting any of your own hats?
Hey Cosmo! I’ve knitted hats for myself in the past but my girls usually snatch them up. This year I’m gonna buy them and NOT share them!
Winter has officially begun here too… I think it must have rained at least 3 feet in the past few days (no exaggeration!)
I’m happy that you are approaching winter fashion with a cool head and fun attitude – its the way to treat everything in life!
I’ve given you the Liebster Award over on my blog!
