We are living in winter wonderland! I cannot believe how much snow we've gotten so far. It was nonstop all weekend long! It is supposed to be the snowiest winter yet due to lake effect. The lake of the temperature was really warm this summer, so that leads to more snowfall! I don't mind, actually! It's fun having a lot of snow. When I drove out to work today, there was no snow in the city. It's so strange how 35 minutes away can be so different.

I'm super excited for the rest of December! Next weekend, we have my work holiday party. The weekend after that, we have our fourth annual Christmas party. The weekend after that is Christmas! So crazy! It's going to fly by. I really want to get some fun things in - like last year, we went to Frankenmuth. I'm not sure when we're going to have time, but I'd love to go again! Or do something like that! For a while there, Brett and I were taking monthly adventures around the state. We've been trying to save money lately, so we've held off.. but I'm itching to have a day away!
I've been living in cardigans, tall boots and my giant circle scarf lately. In the beginning of winter, I'm not so lazy to throw on a giant coat, thick socks, an extra cardigan, a thick circle scarf, gloves, but as it goes on.. I just get so lazy to put everything on before I head out the door! But I have to admit.. I love winter, because it makes spring so so sweet! Plus, I can't imagine Christmas without some snow on the ground!

I miss the snow in nashville. I will go back! I can't wait!
I am in love with this outfit. I also love how you re-styled this dress! I love love love when you style the same dress in different ways... it helps me to think of my own wardrobe differently. Also, your hair looks really good up like that. I don't think I've ever noticed it not being down before.

Love this outfit! Saving it for inspiration...

We have no snow yet here, not fair! I'm definitely wanting to go to Bronner's (and Birch Run) before Christmas!
You look perfect amidst a snowy backdrop! Circle scarves are my new favorite accessory, they are so incredibly warm! Love your outfit, you are such an inspiration :)
Aahhh you look so cozy! Damn you and your snow. I'm so full of the jealous.
You are glowing Tieka! :) Best to you and Brett these holidays!!
And those boots are uh-maze-ing!
very cute! you look adorable as always. enjoy the holidays, miss tieka! xo.
only you could look so classy and cosy at the same time in the middle of a snowstorm! :)
owh the snow looks so lovely! And I absolutely love this dress on you! I think my favourite posts of yours are where you re-wear an item in a new way!
I think you should definitely keep your dark hair too :) x
This is such an excellent mix of handsome layers and feminine florals. I really want to re-create this, shy-style! haha. Hope you have lots of fun at all your holiday get-togethers! I'm missing my work one :( but it is to go for an all girls trip into the mountains for skiing and spa-ing!

I love that you've featured a look with a floral dress in winter. You manage to show off your style, whatever the season!
I really love the snow falling in these photos!
you look beautiful in the second picture. i can't wait till it snows in NYC.
I love this outfit so much!
The snow looks like a blanket, hehe.
Its funny that you say you cant imagine christmas without snow on the ground.. I live in Southern California and I cant imagine christmas WITH snow haha.
xo
How lovely! I can almost feel the snow just looking at these pictures, even in our hot and humid weather!
I adore that dress! You just have the best collection of flower print dresses on the internet. Quite a legacy to have, lady.
Love the snow!
Btw, lemme know when that hair clip comes in the mail so I know it got there okay! One never can tell with snail mail....
This is a perfect outfit Tieka! I just adore your boots!
Oh my goodness. I ADORE everything about this post. I probably say that every couple of posts on your blog.. haha! But seriously. Your outfit, the snow, those incredible boots, that second picture down... everything is too perfect!
I love wearing spring floral in winter - and that dress is a favourite (it's even in my header now, haha!)
I'm so jealous of your snow and the fact that you are getting a white Christmas. I like summer Christmases here.. but there is something so festive about snow!
Phew, long comment...

love your floral dress :D
Cute & cozy! Snow makes me super happy! Correction: The *first* snow makes me happy. Love the scarf!
This is one of my FAVORITE outfits you've done all year! Soo cozy and relaxed yet totally cute.. just my style :)
this is absolutely gorgeous! you, your outfit, and the background! i would do anything to be in snow right now. i haven't seen snow in years!
Love this outfit! So cozy looking and girly! I'm envious of the snow.
I love this look, Tieka! Do you know what brand at urban those boots came from? I want them!
you have a really cool blog!! do you want to follow each other??

Oh I really like this look! How are you staying warm though!? I always love the printed pieces in your wardrobe, and this piece really spruces up your neutral toned outfit! Also I'm a big fan of your boots!

I love the pretty spring colors of your dress against the snow...it makes a lovely picture! And I don't know if you dyed it or if it's just growing out, but I'm in love with your hair color right now! It's gorgeous.
And just like you can't imagine Christmas without snow, I can't imagine Christmas with it. I don't think its snowed on Christmas for the entire 15 years I've lived in Texas!
Oh My...Snow!!!!!!!!! it looks so cold.. but so beautiful!!! your scarf is amazing!!!
Oooh, I love that scarf! I have been wanting more cozy, warm, tunnel scarves. And I love when you wear your hair up! It is so cute.
Oh my gosh, Tieka, these pictures are SO pretty. I love your outfit, your hair, and everything about these!
You look gorgeous!
The west side of the state is way behind on snow. It snowed in Detroit for the first time over a month ago. We got some this weekend too, but it was kind of patchy and melted by morning. I love the floral dress! I'm a big fan of color in the winter. I hate when everyone starts resorting to all black and grey. Doesn't nature already give us enough of that on it's own?
Omg, this is seriously my favourite look now! I just love the dress with that cardigan and the scarf and the boots!
You have so much snow! Ours is all gone now :( but its still freezing which isn't normal for here haha!
Such a cute outfit! I love the mix of florals with a chunky knit cardigan :)

Aww the snow has just disappeared where I am. Love the outfit the cardigan and scarf look so warm

Very winter chic! The snow is finally melting here but yours kinda makes me wish it would come back. You look stunning as usual!
Aww you look so adorable!! It's funny reading about you having snow since we've been having 36C weather here (96ishF) and we're definitely NOT having snow for Christmas!
I would love to soo you and Brett go on another adventure! They're so cute and fun to read about :)
Love Steph

I really like this outfit, you look adorable! I enjoy your blog so much :)
super cute!
Killer outfit! I've been an avid follower for a while now, but have yet to comment. Unlike most, winter is my favourite season, so I'm excited to see what you've got in store. You've inspired me to keep my florals in rotation . . . now just to knit me a circle scarf over the holidays!
I love this look! I love how you can rock the florals all year long!
P.S. My granparents used to live in Frankenmuth and we'd visit every year at Christmas when I was a kid. I would love to go back to Bronners sometime and stock up on Christmas goodies!
I love this look. Love the dress and that boots. :)

we had a snowy weekend as well and it looks like another one is heading our way....time to bust out some more layers!
Aww, I used to live in Michigan, so this post really makes me miss it and the snow. I live in Houston now, so while it's nice most of the time, sometimes I get really nostalgic for the cold weather and how pretty first snowfall is. That cardigan looks amazingly cozy. Love it!
Your dress is so pretty! I feel like I get into this routine too - big cardigan, big boots, little dress! It's just so easy for fall and winter and always looks cute!
The contrast of the pink florals against the snow is stunning! I love it!
You look beautiful :)
Gahhh, I am so jealous! I put on this many layers here, and people just think I'm a schizophrenic. And a sweaty one at that...
You look adorable!

You look so pretty, I'm not quite ready for snow. In fact, I'm not sure I ever will be ready. A floral print would definitely help me deal with it though.

Aw, these pictures are so cute! I love this outfit. I can't believe I'm saying this - but I wish we'd get some snow over here on the East Coast!
xx, Katrina
well aren't you stinkin cute? I love the blue-gray color of the scarf! I'm a fan of all these circle scarfs, though I don't have one yet. I'm from MI, living in Alaska, and we have had snow and yucky roads for well over a month now. I was pretty jealous to hear that ya'll were still having summery weather while I was driving on skating rink roads! Also, if you go to Frankenmuth, please take lots of pictures! My hubs is from Huron Co. and I know he would get a major kick out of seeing someplace so close to home. P.S. I think cities don't get as much snowfall as other places because of the smogginess from the masse of concrete, chimneys, and industrial-sized buildings, but I am too lazy to look up the facts, ma'am :) Happy Tuesday to ya!
A few things:
#1 - This outfit is perfect.
#2 - I know the phrase "lake effect snow" all too well. Cleveland has been getting it all weekend, too, and it's gorgeous but oh so chilly!
#3 - Those pictures are so pretty! Is that little wooded area near your home?
lovely outfit my dear! we have five inches of snow here im totally snowed in! i love the snow but its so cold its hard to take outfit photos i find! x
pretty pretty girl. Your hair is getting so dark!
love.
so cute! love your hair and the boots! i live in my tall boots and cozy scarfs too. they are the best! i am soooo jealous of the snow! i want some!
Lucky! Still waiting for the snow to stick here in Detroit :o/
And I am a huge fan of Grandpa sweaters, but have have yet to experience these circle scarves everyone is raving about...I suppose I just may give it a try!

How in the world did you wear only that yesterday? :-P It was so cold, I'm not far from you and there is no way I'd go out in only that sweater! Or did you actually wear a coat and took it off the the photos? I'd like to see what type of winter coat you wear in Michigan weather!
you're gorgeous as always!! its soo cold here on Aquinas' campus and I wish I could look half as good as you do but im bundled up walking to class :(
This is so cute! :)

I love this! Snow is so exciting.. Your scarf & boots are adorable! Altogether, another great outfit ;)

This is the perfect winter outfit! I KNEW it would snow in Michigan for my arrival this weekend. Now I'm super stuck on what to pack for the cold! Le sigh...anyways, I love that dress and those boots. The colour of the scarf was the perfect compliment to the colours in the dress too. Adorable as always :)
i love your outfit, tieka! you look super cozy and cute :) chunky knits are winter staples <3
Awhhhh, so pretty! I wish to see the white already! And who knows floral dress goes that well with the snow!
Have a sparkling day! (:

A GIANT circle scarf is on my christmas list because of you this christmas:):) I want one! I love how you wore this dress in the winter- it's one of my favorites of yours!
Brrr, aren't you cold!? I love the dichotomy between the sweet florals and the chunky sweater. So cozy and feminine.
Florals in the snow- loving it! Again, completely in love with your snood (the circular scarf, as you say). The snow looks gorgeous. All of it has melted in CT :(
The floral dress looks really hopeful and colorful in contrast to the snow. I love it.
I love this look Tieka! And I know what you mean I'm obsessed with those scarves too! I'm jealous of your snow..it was 70 degrees yesterday :( Did you dye your hair? It looks darker and I absolutely LOVE it!!
that scarf is so rad! love it! and kudos to you for being out in the snow without a coat! xo
Wow, this is making me kind of excited for the first snow here! I love the circle scarf it looks so warm.
i love your outfit tieka! it's so adorable! & scarves are the best. too bad my winter wonderland is far far away. living in so cal has its perks & all but i really wish it would snow. its in the high 70s this week ):
ps. i'm hosting a giveaway on my blog this week! hope you check it out :)
I love this outfit it looks great!
haha makes me laugh that you can't imagine xmas without snow. I can't imagine xmas with snow!! Xmas to me is sunny and warm, bbqs and salads and a walk in the afternoon sunshine after lunch! :P
you look so gorgeous, my love. <3 i rarely ever get to see snow because there isn't any in orange county, but i think it's SO magical!!
I miss the snow so much! I did my undergrad in Syracuse where we got tons of lake effect snow and so far this winter in NJ I've seen 2 days of flurries that didn't even last very long.
I'm so jealous of you over there, Tieka. We've had a couple of tiny flurries, but nothing has stuck for more than an hour... How I miss the lake effect!
This post makes me want to take a plane to the states right now for Christmas just so I can wear cozy sweaters and scarves! Ugh, I'm so going somewhere cold next year. haha
I love this outfit!
:o)Sarah
Adorable! I really am in love with that scarf. I'm super jealous of all your snow! We still haven't gotten a real snowfall yet this year. I can't believe it. IT'S WHY I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. hehe
oh..you so lucky can feel snow.
Im from indonesia, and every christmas time, since im a little, i always dreamed for a white christmas.
And also, i can wear something like u. Because in here, it just raining in december.
But stil have a feel for christmas, even i can't feel snow. ^^
That's my dream,someday i will celebrate christmas in your place ^^
Those boots are perfection. Do they have heels? I've been searching for something like those for ages. A little victorian, a little outdoorsy. And I think it's so delightful that you have a burst of florals on. So anti-winter but in such a great way. xo
how adorable! i LOVE the floral/chunky knits combo for the winter. something new to try ;) thanks for the inspiration!
Floral in the winter? Only you can pull that off!
I love that scarf, by the way, it looks fabulous on you and looks cozy at the same time.
