Less than a week to go until winter solstice.  December twenty first also marks the first day of winter.  The upside is that the days will begin to get longer.  The downside is that winter hasn’t even started.  Speaking of winter, mother nature graced our pacific northwest skies with snowflakes both yesterday and Saturday.  Not enough of the white stuff to make a snowman, or even show up in these photos, but the flakes were coming fast and furious when we drove home last night.  
 
My weekend was easy, simple, enjoyable.  A potluck brunch at a dear friend’s home followed by a casual dinner out with my family.  I wore dark chocolate and winter white.  I thrifted this jacket and trousers on separate occasions, and I think they coordinate beautifully.  My Joe Fresh tank adds just the right amount of sparkle underneath. This ensemble took me from early morning until late evening, and I felt both comfortable and suitably attired all day.  Sometimes simple really is best.

    I agree, Sue – simple and lovely, and comfortable as well — what could be better? I see our curly hairs are resembling each other these days, go curls! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.

    Nice! Comfortable is always best, and this looks great, too!

    You had snow up there? We had a tiny bit of sleet today and they say we might get more, but it's still mostly rain. And lots of it!

    I guess we can be grateful to be coastal girls…helps the curls out.

    Well, it was definitely snow…but only a couple of centimeters here and there. Enough that I had to scrape it off the car. I hear ya about the rain…it has been wet here too.

    Fantastic photos, Sue. Yes, that water really fell from the sky a few times, hard! And then sun. What's that about? But I liked the sun part. No matter, you look like spring.

    Hey Melanie, You saw it too?! I thought I was imagining the sun part. Thanks so much for following. I really appreciate you!

    Thank you Shirl. It was a little chilly without my down jacket…

    This is a wonderful outfit. I love the graphic print on the jacket.
    We hope to have a bit of snow tonight. It has been cool today but not terribly cold. I am beginning to wonder if we will have much of a winter.

    Thank you Debbi! We usually do not have a white Christmas, but often get a hit of snow in January. We'll just have to wait and see.

    Thanks Cheryl I'm sure as a kid I was told to sit still! Most of my photos have a blur somewhere in them.
