HOW TO STAY WARM AND LOOK FABULOUS
How many of you got the winter storm that passed through the North East last week? It went above where I live, so I didn’t get any of the beautiful white stuff. However, I did get the cold temperatures, so I had to turn up the heat in the house. I love snow, but I hate cold weather. We already keep our house a toasty 71 degrees, but I turned up the thermostat to 73 the past few days. Even then, I was cold and stayed wrapped up in a fluffy throw blanket.
Joe keeps telling me that I have no blood because I am so cold all of the time. On Thursday, I went to the dentist in town to have a filling switched from silver to white. I didn’t like seeing the silver showing when I smiled, and now that it is white, it looks so much better. When I got to the dentist’s office, they took my temperature. My Energizer Bunny Friend was the one taking my temperature, and she had this funny look come over her face. Then, she showed the temperature gauge to the receptionist and said, do you think that we need to use the other thermometer? The receptionist said yes, so they took it again and then said, “we’ve never had someone have such a low temperature. Are you sure that you’re alive?” Lol! I guess Joe was right; I must not have any blood.
I am heading out to work at the lumber company again today. Since this is the end of the year, I am helping them make sure that everything has been counted, received, paid, vouchered, etc. So, I put on this cozy funnel neck sweater to keep me warm. I love this sweater’s color, but I had a hard time finding it on the website. I kept narrowing down the search looking for a neutral, beige, brown sweater, and it turns out this is called violet heather. Now that I am looking at these photos, I see the violet tint in the sweater, but I would have sworn it was a taupe color. Either way, the sweater is gorgeous, and I think it looks fantastic with the black jeans. I can see this sweater looking great with caramel pants or blue jeans, and it will add style to anything you wear it with.
The sweater is machine washable and does contain 8% wool for those who might have wool allergies. This sweater also comes in a gray color if the violet is not to your liking. I am wearing a size medium in the sweater, and I like the way that it fits. I was afraid that it would be too short and cropped, but I ended up liking the length.
I am wearing my favorite large hoops in goldtone. My first Kendra Scott purchase was a silver pair of this hoop, and I was amazed at how much I wore them. So, when I caught Kendra Scott having a sale and purchased the gold pair also. I am sooo happy that I did because you see me wearing them all of the time. I also added the Davis necklace that comes with three chains that can all be removed from the clasp. I love how versatile this necklace is! You can wear one, two, or three chains, and you can even attach other necklaces that you own to the clasp for a custom necklace of your own making. This necklace comes in three colors (I have the cobalt color), so you have your choice of stones.
These high waisted black bootcut jeans are polished looking and perfect for dressing up. I love how these are the perfect cross between jeans and dress pants. These jeans have a nice amount of stretch, so they look great all day long. I am wearing my normal size 10, so I would say that they run true to size. You can choose the inseam on these jeans since they are offered in short, regular, tall, and petite.
The flare of the jeans is perfect for adding boots, and I added my Vince Camuto block heel ankle boots to the look. I love how these boots have the brown sole and heel with the black upper. The large chunky block heels make the boots more stable to walk in, and even though they have a 3 1/2″ heel, they are easier to walk in than most boots. I am wearing my normal size 9, and they fit me perfectly!
I love, love, love this long puffer coat with the gorgeous faux-fur collar. The collar is so full, and it looks luxurious and very CHIC. However, if you were going somewhere that the collar looked out of place, you can easily remove it for a more relaxed and simple look. The Truffle color is so unusual, but it is a great neutral that will go with anything. I am wearing a size 1 in the coat, and it is the perfect fit for me. Chico’s is having a 40% off sale through the 23rd with the code 64888. The sale price isn’t reflected on the SHOP THE POST since it requires a code.
I am going to ask all of you to say a prayer for several members of my family. Unfortunately, COVID has hit our family in Tennessee. My grandfather (who is 103) and my aunt that he lives with have both came down with COVID. My grandfather was doing good but took a turn for the worse last night and now has pneumonia. So, I truly would appreciate your sending prayers and good thoughts to them and the rest of the family.

Sending prayers to your family.
Tania I love your look today. The violet color of sweater and coat look great on you. I’ll keep your family members in my prayers. We just got word today that my son-in-laws mom passed. She got covid while in the hospital for urinary tract infection. God bless all folks affected by this horrible pandemic. I pray it ends soon.
Sending strength and prayers for your aunt and grandfather. Lost my father-in-law to COVID right after Thanksgiving!
On a lighter note – love your makeup in these pics.
I’m praying for your family.
Your post today gave me a chuckle. I just turned my A/C (which is normally set to 77*) down to 75* so I could feel a little Winter chill for the Solstice Holiday. We got to put on long sleeves and even socks! Season’s greetings from Florida.
Sending heartfelt prayers for your grandfather and aunt.
Praying for peace of mind for your family and for God’s healing touch for your dear grandfather and aunt. I was just saying to my husband that it’s a blessing our parents were all taken home to be with the Lord before this plague was unleashed. Both our moms died peacefully of old age in their late 90s.
Tania, praying for your dear grandfather and aunt. God’s blessings this Christmas season.
Praying for a full and speedy recovery for your Tennessee family…
Prayers for your family! My DIL has been diagnosed, and I was exposed before she knew she had it. My mother has cancelled her Christmas get-together. I’m sad that she did it on our account; there were enough people left unexposed — including my sister’s two month old grandson — to have had a great Christmas anyway.
I will join with you in prayer for your family. I love that your verse of the day goes along with your prayer request.
The coat looks fabulous on you. I am also sending prayers for your family. Thank you for the bible verse too.
Prayers to you and your family.
I love today’s outfit. Casual yet stylish!
Sending prayers for your family. May they have a speedy recovery.
Covid hit my family hard too. I lost my last aunt to it. My mom, sister, and brother-in-law have had it as well as a ton of my cousins. I came down with it on the 2nd and am still recovering. Today is the 1st day that I’ve woke up and actually feel alive.
Yes that is a gorgeous coat and goes so we’ll w that violet sweater! Even in the cold you always look fantastic! I’m sorry about your Grandpa and his daughter and will pray for them.
Sending prayers of healing for your grandfather and aunt. 🙏❤️
Thinking about your family Tania. Sending prayers and good wishes. My mother and father in law both have COVID-19 currently. My father in law is getting better my mother in law is hospitalized but slowly recovering. They are both in their 90’s.
Love the outfit. Merry Christmas!
Praying!
