I really didn’t plan on dressing like America, but that’s what happened. It must be the Olympic spirit. Do you guys watch the winter games? I love them, but I must admit I don’t always root for the USA. I mean that’s my default, but if someone from another country has a great back story or is wearing a great outfit (um, hello Norwegian curling team), I will not-so-secretly hope they win. Maybe that’s unpatriotic of me, but I’m not too worried about it. I have a feeling Team USA will win plenty of medals without my help.

OK, moving on. I posted an Instagram from the Target dressing room last week and got a lot of YESes for this jacket. Or maybe it was just 2, but whatever. Well, I’m nothing if not a good listener, so I went back for it! The best part? At $40, it’s a much more wallet-friendly (and nearly identical) version of the J. Crew field jacket. Score. I would totally win the gold medal for shopping.

These boots are my new lifesaver. Or legsaver I guess. I’ve been wearing jeans A LOT recently just because it’s so cold that I can’t bear to expose my legs (even with tights) to the elements. But at a certain point I just get tired of jeans. And by “I get tired of jeans,” I mean “all my jeans are in the ginormous pile of laundry in the corner of my bedroom.” Then I realized that my over-the-knee boots give me an extra 4 inches or so of coverage compared to regular old knee-high boots. It makes a big difference, lemme tell you. Plus I wear tall socks for an extra layer. So that leaves just a couple inches of thigh out in the cold. I’m not a doctor but I’m thinking [even my] thighs have more insulation than the lower half of the leg…amiright, ladies?
