Dreams Vs. Reality

In my dream, I’m sitting on a porch swing reading a book or chatting with a friend, drinking ice tea and wearing this:

Dreaming of Summer

Tank, Jeans, Necklace, Nail Polish, Watch, Sandals

In reality, it’s 30 degrees outside, I’m sitting on the couch with dry and cracking hands, nursing a husband to health (he has a cold), still in my work out clothes from this morning (that’s right folks, I haven’t showered today!) wearing this:

Work Out ClothesPants, Tank, Jacket, Shoes, Vest, Lip Balm

And let’s be real. I don’t look or smell like those models. I look more like this. But a girl can dream…

 Before Christmas, I have all these fun and festive outfit ideas. Then, Christmas hits and I start to get lazy and end up in yoga pants and Uggs. I hate to be cold and I think winter clothes are uncomfortable, so I just give up. Then, I read through amazing blogs, or watch a fun movie where everyone is dressed so cute and I snap out of it and give it a try again. And to help myself even more, I am making note that I was actually hot in this outfit—which is unusual for me. Do you do this? Get lazy? I need help on keeping the winter blues away!
