Forgot you've got so far to go








Odd: I'm not really minding winter. In fact, I might kind of be enjoying it. Besides that one time when I almost fell down and went boom on the ice, oh, and that one time my car got stuck in the parking lot at work and was barely able to shovel myself out, I've been liking it. I even have developed a secret method for taking pictures outside in freezing temperatures sans-coat while remaining relatively warm (and fancy free!).

I swear, I've been the poster child for Madewell lately. This sweater is fabulously warm* and doesn't even make me itch! I'll do another "Project Scarf" post soon. Pinkie swear.

I also have a bunch of shout-outs this time: thankies to Charlotte for the Versatile Blogger award (did you know she tap dances?! Teach me, please!). Muchas gracias to Shy Biker for featuring me and some other fabulous bloggers in a recent post! Thank you to Kimber Doll for featuring Two Eyes in the Mirror (she even called it her "favorite fashion blog." I might be tearing up!). And, last but not least, a huge THANK YOU to all my supportive readers. As you know, I've been swamped with non-blog stuff lately, and sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up in it all. Every comment you leave inspires me to keep blogging, just keep blogging. Thank you for that!


* After reading through this a second time, I have absolutely no clue what "fabulously warm" is. Really, Ashley? The things that come from your little fingers sometimes. It sounds good, though, doesn't it?

Sweater: Madewell
Scarf: Gap
Dress: American Eagle
Booties: Seychelles

  17. Looking lovely as usual. I do like that sweater. And of course you are being featured on other blogs. Kimber Doll is right, you have a style of your own. And you look great! Wow. those are some interesting experiences you mention. But the cold is what you make of it. I just use it as an excuse to layer, layer, layer. hah

  20. My goodness you're just radiating in these photos. I still can't fully express how gorgeous your features are, dear. And I love love your outfit, and that dress - and please do tell us your method for staying warm in snowy temperatures. It's barely dropping under 60 here and I'm already freezing, haha.

  24. You look gorgeous once again. I really love your hair! And it's weird, I'm kind of enjoying Winter as well. I didn't think I'd EVER say that. I absolutely hate the cold but I love the "coziness" of it all if that makes sense?

  28. You already have snow?! I fear when we'll have ours! Snow is great in the country side not in the city!
    But the thing I wanted to say is - you're so brave! I wouldn't dare to take my photos without a coat! :)

  29. You stand out against the snow, beautifully!

    Are you wearing a lip colour? If so, what is it? Its so pretty!
