Snow day

Every year in Portland, we get an inch or two of snow. Every year in Portland, the city freaks out about the snow, schools and businesses close down, and the local news makes up an overly dramatic name for the storm*. Today's "storm" was called FEBRUARY SNOW BLAST!! By the time I was done taking some pictures in our backyard, the majority of the snow had melted away. It did start snowing again, but most likely it will all melt and turn into ice over night. That's the Portland way!

I borrowed this dress from the shop, the colors were just perfect for a wintry snow day! I'm having a challenging time dressing this post-pregnancy body. It's a funny transition period, where my maternity clothes are too big and my pre-pregnancy clothes are [way] too small. For now, loose dresses it is! You can't really tell, but I layered a couple of pairs of tights, both for warmth, and because I bought a pair of hunter green tights from Zara and I look like Robin Hood in them!


*To this day, my favorite storm name is from a couple of years ago. It was "WICKED WINDS!!" and the graphics were letters that spell that blowing onto the screen, then being blown away. I wish my job was to come up with ridiculous news-story titles and graphics. I think I'd be pretty great at it.
