Woodsmoke is what makes winter WINTER. This is an undisputed fact. Anything that reminds me of woodsmoke just makes me smile. This reminds me of woodsmoke.

I would love to dress this way all the time. But alas one must be prepared to do the dishes. And save money at thrift stores. Thrift stores are good places, you know. You never feel guilty about buying something.

Oh, and a tip. February is a good month to drop in at the mall. Everything is at closeout prices. I got seven tops for three bucks each, no joke.
