TGIFF

Nope, I did not misspell the acronym in my blog post title.  It simply stands for Thank Goodness It's Freaking Friday!!  I promise I am not going to whine again like I did yesterday, but I will just say yesterday was not much better than the day before.  It's just been a week of all weeks.  And Friday is finally here.  And of course it snowed and I was late to work because of the snow, but it's still Friday.  Friday is good.

 Sweatshirt - Mossimo, Target

Flannel shirt - Primp Boutique

Jeans - Old Navy

Boots - Target

This isn't exactly the outfit I had planned today, but I think it still works fine for a Friday.  Especially a snowy one.  I am warm and cozy and right now that is all that matters.  It should be a good weekend ahead too, especially once the snow stops later today.  How was your week?  And do you have fun weekend plans?

And yet more cold

Hey guess what?  It's cold again!  Shocker!!  This has been the coldest week of winter, no joke.  I was feeling a bit of winter fatigue when I thought about getting dressed today - I love sweaters and yet, I'm tired of sweaters!  So I was at a bit of a loss as to what to wear and then I was inspired by this outfit put together by Rachel from Rachel's Lookbook.  

 Flannel - Primp 

Jeans, boots, jacket - Mossimo, Target

Necklace - S&D

I'm just as warm as I would be with a sweater.  It might be a tad on the casual side for work given that it's not Friday yet, but I'm just going with it anyway.  And I'm comfortable.  So there.

And an update to yesterday's story - still no signs of anything out of the ordinary.  Taylor was much less interested in the kitchen last night.  So either it was a fluke or maybe it was a bug that snuck through the cracks or something.  At any rate, I'm just glad it is NOT a problem!!

Adventure day

Yesterday the Pants Monkey and myself had an entire Saturday with nothing going on.  That is pretty rare, so I said we had to go out and do something fun.  So we set out on an adventure!

We decided to go on a winter visit to our local zoo and then over to an Italian restaurant we love in downtown St. Paul that recently finished a large construction project.  And we also managed to stop in at the jeweler where we got our wedding rings so I could get mine clean - it had been quite some time since I had done so.  Since I knew I'd be outside for awhile, layers were a must.

Flannel - Primp (local boutique)

Sweater - Herbergers (old)

Jeans skirt - LOFT, thrifted

Heart socks - gift from Megan Mae

Boots and leggings - Mossimo, Target

We had the best day - we took our time and went at our own pace which is always nice.  Because it was cold, the zoo wasn't terribly crowded, but the animals were surprisingly active.  We especially had fun in the monkey house.  Then our dinner was amazing.  The changes they've made to this restaurant (Cossettas for you local folks) really have improved it and while it was busy there, it was nice.  We grabbed ourselves some desserts to enjoy later - which we ended up saving for today, so I can't wait for that!  I love exploring our city when we can, it was a wonderful day!
