It never snows where I live. Never. And I’m okay with that, but it just means that when I go to the snow, it’s kind of a big production, involving lots of excitement and lotttts of picture-taking, and it always feels extra magical. I think that’s how it just is when you experience something out of the norm. Snow makes me want to snuggle up by a fireplace and roast chestnuts and sing Christmas carols and the like. Which is okay, I think, don’t you? But my mom made a good point, and that is to let’s not forget about Thanksgiving, okay? Christmas is wonderful, and it really is my favorite time of year, but poor little Thanksgiving gets pushed under the rug a lot. Like, Starbucks for example. Today, I looked in the window and saw the tree was already up. And that’s fine, sure, but let’s maybe put a little turkey next to it at least, or something? Just a thought.
And today I’m thankful for… Snow. But mostly probably because I don’t have to deal with it every single day. That could get old.

I LOVE you for this post! I’ve been wanting leggings like this but had no idea how to rock them. Your outfit pictures are always so full of personality and I love that too. Pinning this.

I adore how you look, what a fantastic outfit and gorgeous surroundings!! I have similar leggings and love them. I’m pregnant now and they don’t fit.. wonder if I can find a maternity pair!!
Am following you – found via WIWW xx
You’re so sweet, Alex!! I hope you can find a maternity pair! Or, hey, just get a bigger size- these particular leggings are suuuuuper stretchy!! :) So glad you found me!

Aw thanks, Wendy!! :)

LOVE the leggings! I’m actually on the hunt for the perfect pair!
I’m dreading the snow!! Once it starts here, it’ll be here until February! lol
Found you through WIWW! New follower! ♥
Yayyy so glad to have you here, Lena!! I hope you find that perfect pair of leggings very very soon! ;)

I think it really is snow’s fault that Thanksgiving doesn’t get all the hype it deserves. But Thanksgiving just seems like it whould be a fall holiday and when there’s already snow everywhere…it doesn’t feel like fall!
And I love your leggings!
YES, you definitely nailed it: snow instantly gives the feel of Christmas, and therefore buh-bye Thanksgiving and fall in general! But it doesn’t snow where I live, and everything is STILL bringing out all the Christmas goods! Ahh, well. There’s no stopping it. ;)
xo
I love your leggings and your boldness for wearing them outside of the house. :) I swear Christmas store decoration is getting earlier and earlier which makes me sad. Part of the holiday magic is having the decorations up after turkey day. Home depot had Christmas stuff out before Halloween here. :/ though I was playing some Christmas music this past weekend lol I blame it on the peppermint mocha I had earlier this week. ;)
haha thank you, my dear! I definitely felt quite bold wearing them in public!! It’s liberating. ;) And as much as I think it’s crazy for stores to have all this Christmas stuff out already, I’m guilty of listening to some early Christmas music, too!! I need to get my hands on a peppermint mocha asap!
xo
so cute. love the leggings and i am quite jealous of that backdrop!
Isn’t it gorgeous?! That was when we were in Tahoe- definitely NOT my home backdrop!! ;)
xo
stop it with the leggings. i love them!!!!!!! xox
haha awww thanks, girl!!! Get some!! :)
xo
I’m going to need to check out Forever 21 more, LOVE the leggings!
YES, you really should- love that store!! (obviously) ;)

I am DYING for a pair of winter leggings. I need to hit up F21 asap! I live in Ohio and I pretty much hate the snow. If it snows enough to shut everything down and I can stay inside without having to deal with the people that don’t know how to drive in it, I’m fine. But, commuting in it is a bummer. I do like to see the snow on Christmas or the days leading up to it. If only it could stay off of the roads! :)

Aren’t they just so fun?! And ugh, yes, I would hate that too if I lived in a snowy place! It’s the same way here when it rains really bad- it’s like people just plum forget how to drive! The. Worst.
xo
OMG I NEED some leggings like that! They are so adorable, I love them!! I’d love to see some more ideas of what to wear them with :) I’m definitely going to have to get some of those!
You’ve given me an idea for a post! ;) Stay tuned, girl! hehe

I just ordered some winter leggings on ebay – yours are too cute! I love how you paired them all comfy! LOVE!
Yayyy you should definitely take a picture of your winter leggings when you get them- I wanna see!!

Cute outfit! I agree…it is always a production going up to the snow. But so fun! I grew up with snow all winter, and its nice now to be able to have it just when you want. :)
I love what you said- it’s nice to just have snow when you want. My thoughts exactly!! ;)
xo
Super cute!! I don’t quite have the guts to pull off light colored printed leggings, but you wear them flawlessly!! I live in Central Texas, so we’re not even allowed to think of snow :) I can’t wait until we see snow for our ski trip!
Now following along thanks to Pleated Poppy!

I need these legging in my life, they are TOO cute. I went to Forever 21 the other day for the very first time but sadly I didn’t see those! They had so much stuff but I ended up just getting presents for other people and none for me..boooooo!
haha I am so impressed with your willpower!! It is nearly impossible for me to go to F21 and not get anything for myself! Yikes… It’s bad. Real. bad. ;)
xo
Those leggings are incredible! Love love love!
Thanks, girl!! They’re super stretchy and warm, too. Perfect winter leggings :)
xo
It hardly snows where I live either, and going to the mountains to be in the snow is ALWAYS fun and an exciting event for me too.
You look totally adorable! One question though -where you not freezing with just leggings in the snow or are they warmer than the average leggins!? I see they say WINTER leggins, does that mean they are thicker? Just curious! ;)

Aww thanks girl!! Yes, these leggings are much warmer than the average pair! They feel almost like wool (although they aren’t at all, of course, because this is F21 we’re talking about here) and are really thick! With the uggs and all my layers on top, they were perfect for the snow! :)
xo
I love love love those leggings! I can not wait for Thanksgiving…food and family! So excited : )
Awww thanks, Kelsey!! I’m excited for all that delish food and family too! :)
