Whenever Rob and I tell people that we live in Minneapolis, you can bet that the first thing that comes out of their mouth is usually, "Oh, gosh, you know it's cold there, right?" And at the risk of sounding like a huge brat, let me say that yes, we do know. This weekend was exceptionally cold, with a windchill of -26 on Sunday, but on Saturday, it was an entire nine degrees above zero, so while we were out running some errands, we stopped at Lake Normandale to snap a few photos.

I must be adjusting well to this climate, because I decided to leave my jacket in the car and was outside for ten whole minutes! So without further ado, here's what I wore this weekend (mostly under my parka).

Sweater + Corduroys: J.Crew | Glasses: Kate Spade

Vest: Ralph Lauren | Necklace: Ann Taylor LOFT

Boots: c/o Oliberte | Bag: Hobo

Watch: Gift from Rob | Bracelet: J.Crew

  

Stay warm out there, friends.

We had a really cold weekend here in Minneapolis. When I woke up on Saturday, it was -11 degrees outside, but I was still super excited to go out and get our Christmas tree. In past years, we've always just set up a mini fake one, but this year Rob and I both really wanted to get a full-sized real one. This year away really has me eager to start some new traditions.

So I slapped some leggings on underneath my jeans and it was Christmas Tree Shopping Day! (From here until, well, April, outdoor What I Wore posts will probably contain less photos and more watery eyes. It's a little chilly out there.)

Sweater: GAP | Jacket: Old Navy

Earmuffs (mine are in Chestnut): UGG Australia

Mittens: My mom's old pair. I love these things.

Bag: Coach | Jeans: Levi's

Short Rain Boots: c/o Joules

  

Joules recently sent me these little boots and they're so cute. I know they're mainly meant for rain, but the furry lining inside did a pretty decent job keeping my feet warm for a while. I probably could have done the pants thing with socks and worn two pairs, but I think that's just Minnesota. The color is so fun and they're grippy enough for slippery sidewalks! I'm a fan.

And look! Our tree is so cute.

How was your weekend? Anyone else get a tree on Saturday?

Rob and I had a really nice rainy weekend together, complete with several errands and a Thai lunch date on Saturday. When we have places to be but it's cold and grey out, I love nothing more than a cozy tee and a soft hat with some stretchy black pants or leggings. I added a fun pair of earrings to fancy myself up a bit, and I was ready to go!

I've been saying this every week since the end of October, but I think we might finally be done sending out save-the-dates. I'm headed to Virginia for two weeks on Thursday, so there's plenty to be done around here before I'm actually ready for my trip. Overall, it was a productive weekend. Even if there's still laundry to fold.

Earrings: c/o Loopsway

Tee (similar): H&M

Pants: J.Crew
