It's snowing out right now, and I'm so happy! I took these photos on Friday, before Chris and I drove North to visit my Mom, no snow then but freezing! Now that I'm home more often, I found myself really pining for a decent pair of jeans. All of the pairs in my closet were either too big now or falling apart. I had to go to Boston on Thursday afternoon to pick up my last check, so while I was there I stopped in to Madewell. I decided that if I was going to buy a new pair of jeans, I would invest in a really nice pair, one that could replace the multiple pairs that really needed to be shed from my closet. I have to say I'm incredibly pleased, these were totally worth spending a little bit more on. Oviously, I didn't just leave with just a pair of jeans, I also found two amazing sweater, both on sale. I'm in love.

I decided to pair this brown double-breasted sweater with my new cat print top from ModCloth, I'm in love with this shirt. I've been looking for something that had this iconic cat-print for the longest time, but was never satisfied with the quality of the print. I'm glad i held out, these cats actually look like cats and not tailed blobs. I also realized that I tend to under-accessorize. I'm usually fine with just a necklace, but I decided to stretch my boundaries and add earrings and a pin.

Did you have a nice weekend? We had a great time in Maine. I visited with my Mom while Chris went snowboarding, and then we went to our friend's annual yankee swap party.

Happy Monday!
