Christmas in Minnesota - Day 1

We had the blessing of flying to Minnesota to be with my extended family this Christmas!

But of course, before we left, I needed to plan outfits for 30-degree days . . . 

I didn't pack even one skirt or dress!

Here was my planning process. . . 

And my carry-on bag.

It is nice and stiff, so it didn't sag and let my magazines get bent.

My snacks also didn't get crushed!

bag: Steve Madden

On to the outfits. . . 

pants - SoHo Apparel, Ltd
blouse - Merona from Target
sweater - Merona from Target

pants - DKNY (Ross)
blouse - Merona from Target
sweater - WalMart (horrors!)

pants - new! True Envy (got compliments on the crazy print from my brother)
t-shirt - Merona from Target
sweater - Merona from Target

I was warm and toasty . . . 
though I admit that I didn't go much of anywhere except for a nice long walk on Christmas Day - in the SNOW!
