This…. this is real life in Minnesota in January. This weekend got to negative digits, and multiple layers and a big puffer coat is the only option!
For the past four years, I have avoided taking pictures in negative degree weather, and have always avoided wearing a coat. But this year, I decided to show you life for real, on the real. Me in my marshmallow coat. I love it, I think for being a necessity in the winter, it’s cute. And my mom did a great job giving to me for Christmas last year. I’ll be honest, I haven’t worn it until this year because it’s white and I was so worried about getting it dirty. So far, it’s held up well!
This weekend was relaxing and fun – Saturday we went to Excelsior to check out Golden Rule, a super cute, quaint shop with local artists and jewelry. Then we headed to 318 Cafe and Excelsior Brewery. I was SO excited to find out they allow dogs at the brewery! I’m a big fan of checking out the local breweries and have always enjoyed the Excelsior craft beers, so I’ll definitely be going back with Emma. Only a couple more weeks until California, so while it’s negative temperatures here now, at least I have something to look forward to! Hope you all have a great week!
Linking up with Rachelle!

January 12, 2016 at 12:41 PMHi Rachel! Happy New Year Girl! Props to you for braving the negative digits, taking pics, and showing us what real life is like in Minnesota. My cousin lives there with her kids and husband and she tells us how brutal it gets in the winter. Anyways, love your winter style! The hat with the pom pom, winter coat, and Joules boots are perfect! 🙂
