Like everyone else, I am having a major lack of style creativity this winter, not only because it is harder to look chic when it's cold, but also because it is less fun to take photos when it's ten degrees, and it's a little less fun to dress up in the doldrums of winter when you are running errands in the slush.

Thank goodness for all your sweet words yesterday when I was in a major wearing-this-dress-out-of-guilt funk. I am sending that piece to Goodwill, where I hope some 5-foot size 4 gal picks it up and falls in love. Today I am feeling much better! Busy running a million errands before school begins Tuesday, I wanted something warm, comfortable, and functional (comfort is key because I need to plant myself on the floor and sort through a huge stack of files this afternoon).



I heart these corduroys and they were the perfect antidote to yesterday's outfit--warm, cozy, well-fitting, and even though they are a little first-grader, they make me feel chic. I love the way they look tucked into duck boots (as always, tres j. crew) and these boots are keeping me safe from all the snow and slush I'm running through today.

Tomorrow, I'll show you how I "accessorize" this giant winter sack I wear, as per reader request. You won't believe how chic I can make a sleeping bag look...
