Winter Wears / Barista Style

       On days like today, Mother Nature is trying to fool us into thinking it's late fall… when in reality it could just be Winter blooming into early Spring, or it might be Missouri's weather giving us a break from it's frigid temperatures (or teasing us, rather). In winter I like to revert to a simpler color palate. Moseying around in variations of the same outfit all season. This is my typical work-style. I work a part-time job as a barista at a Local coffee roaster & tasting room. 

I absolutely love my camel coat and black booties. 

 There is rarely a day when I leave my house with out my Daniel Wellington watch strung tightly around my wrist.

Winter Greens & Wisdom Teeth

Yesterday morning I got my wisdom teeth out, It hasn't been too bad. I'm doing my best to keep up on my pain medication and I'm attempting to keep myself busy so I don't get a crazy case of Cabin fever. A Major Video is going out of business this week in town so the other day I went and bought the majority of Wes Anderson's films to keep me entertained. Today I am swelled up like a chipmunk, it's a rather silly picture. 

The last couple days it's been f-f-f-freezing in Springfield! It's way below zero with the windshield, so I guess it's a good few days to be stuck inside. I've constantly been craving that Spring air and outside adventures again. The other day I went to one of our local green houses in town, Wickman's Gardens and got a few succulents for a sun tea jar I thrifted months ago with a friend! I love the way it turned out. In-door Plants and flowers are such a nice way to keep from going bonkers during the winter season. It's always so nice to see the way the morning light reflects off of your window greens. I hope your week is going well so far, my friends!
