Another snow day today! probably our last. We’ve just finished a huge amount of work on the house, so I’m due for a day off from cleaning. Trying to finish the Puppet Show blouse I started ages ago and some shorts too. However, the kids keep wanting to go out to play….

I’m a fan of the maxi skirt with button down blouse. Seriously elegant.

We went out without hats and gloves yesterday. I didn’t even zip up the down puffer. It was raining and in the 40s and it felt like spring!

Of course I’ve also observed ladies in Atlanta wearing full length fur coats in 50 degree weather. So funny.

OOH this is funny! OMG 50F, and we would be wearing shorts, but that is what happens when you literally have the coldest February on record. The other day we broke 32 for the first time in more than 30 days. Kids outside without hats and gloves like it was a party!

I know this thread is old but I just ordered magnetic snaps from etsy to make my second School Days raincoat. I just have to share that my daughter’s coat is still going strong 2 years later and she absolutely LOVES the magnetic snaps. Our back door is metal and she thinks it’s hilarious that she can stick her coat to the door 🙂
