What I Wore - February 2020

What a weird, weird few days.  I'm still processing all of what has been happening and I still feel like it hasn't quite hit home all of the events that have transpired over the last few days.  I wrote the post below over a week ago before everything got crazy, but I couldn't let it go live without acknowledging the ongoing situation in our world right now.  

Our schools have all been canceled until at least April 6, our spring break trip to Disney World was canceled as Disney World has closed, and our local stores have been running out of toilet paper, meat, bread, milk, and other items for a week now.  Absolute craziness.  I'll be discussing it more in the days and weeks to come, I'm sure, but in the meantime, I just wanted to pop in and say that I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and trying to enjoy the unexpected downtime as much as you can during such an uncertain time.  Much love to all of you!

The name of the game for February was RAIN.  Oh my goodness, so. much. rain.  I know we’ve had rainy periods in the past, but I honestly can’t remember anything as extreme as what we’ve had these past couple of months.  Our local weather people recently posted on Facebook that we’ve had almost three FEET of rain since December.  I mean, come on!  The first person to start talking about a drought this summer is going to get backhanded.  Hahahaha.

Needless to say, rain boots, duck boots, and pretty much any boots or tennis shoes were on my feet the majority of the month.  All of my poor flats have been sitting in my closet, unworn, just waiting to be loved. 

That said, I’ve been especially grateful for my Hunter boots these past two months.  They keep my feet and legs nice and dry no matter how flooded the roads and parking lots are and they have held up tremendously well these last few years.  I consider them to be a great investment since they should last my whole life.  Am I getting sick of wearing them?  Absolutely.  But I’m glad I do have them for times like these when we’re right on the verge of building an ark.  Please, please let us have lots of sunshine this spring!

Here’s what I wore in the month of February…

Five on Friday - My Birthday Wish List

*This post contains affiliate links.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

My birthday is next month so I thought I’d share a few things that are on my wish list right now…

O N E – For the Home

Please Wash Hands Sign – Funnily enough, I've had my eye on this charming little sign for our guest bathroom for a few months now.  I love it because it’s very similar to my beloved Let’s Go Out/Let’s Stay In sign by Hearth and Hand and I also love it because I’m a germaphob.  ;o)  It's obviously now also incredibly fitting with the Coronavirus outbreak.  Haha.




Gallon Glass Jar with Lid (3 of them) – Our laundry room has been a hot mess since we moved in the house and I’d like to get it in order this year.  I want three of these glass jars to store my dryer balls, detergent, and lint.  Right now, we always leave lint in a pile on top of the dryer and I'd like to have a place to store it until we need to dump it in the trash can.





Brookstone Heated Micro-Fleece Blanket (Twin size) – I’m always freezing and most of the time I can’t get warm no matter how much I bundle up.  I’m thinking a heated blanket would work wonders for me!



Crate & Barrel Tour Wine Red Wine Glasses (2 of them) – B and I love wine, so I do have a few different sets of glasses, but I’d like to add two of these to my collection.  They are stunning. 




Crate & Barrel Tour Champagne Glasses (4 of them) – We don’t drink a lot of champagne around these parts but I’d still like to have a set of four champagne glasses for the rare occasions that we do.    




Crate & Barrel Rainbow Felt Ball Garland – I’d like to have this to hang in the playroom and it could also double as a prop for photos.




T W O – Clothes

Ruffled Mini Skirt, White with Black Dots, Size Small – Love love love this skirt for summertime!




Babydoll Dress, Pink, Size Small – This dress is perfect for summertime and the beach!




Spanx Faux Leather Leggings, Very Black, Size Medium – These have been on my wish list foreeeeverrrr but I haven’t bought them because of that dang price.  I want them soooo bad, though.




Twist Front Tank, Blue, Size Small – I’m in need of some new work-out tanks and I like how this one is long enough to cover my booty.




Twist Front Tank, Bugundy, Size Small – Another workout tank in a different color.




T H R E E – Accessories

Apple Watch – I’ve had this on my list forever as well, mostly because I want to start tracking my activity. 



Rothy’s Flat, Spotted, Size 7.5 – Yep, these are still on my wish list.  Why are they so dang expensive?!  I really love the idea of the new Mary Janes with the bow, but I've seen a couple of people say that the bow doesn't stay tied, so I think I'll stick with the flat!




Universal Thread Martina Gladiator Sandals, Cognac, Size 7.5 – I’m in need of some new brown sandals for summertime.  My $6 Walmart ones lasted for two whole years but they’re now showing some signs of wear.




Stackable Bracelet – These cuff bracelets are my jam.  I love that they look like multiple bracelets in the front, but they’re clasped together in the back so they don’t slide around on your arm all day.




James Michelle Ball Stacking Ring, Size 7.5 (3 of them) – I want three of these to stack!




White Bralette, White, Small – still in need of one of these for summa summa summa time!




F O U R – Books

Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen, Hardcover – so many people have highly recommended this book and I'm dying to read it.




The Year of Cozy by Adrianna Adarme, Hardcover – this has been on my list foreverrrr, too.




F I V E – Gift Cards

Amazon – My Amazon wish list is always bursting at the seams so these are always wanted.


Etsy - There are several items I'd like on Etsy so gift cards would be perfect!



Friday Funnies


Between the time change and more rain/clouds this week, I'm definitely a passenger on the struggle bus.  Beep beep!

We survived!  Now WASH YOUR HANDS!
Can't go wrong with Amazon jokes.
Fingers crossed!

Well, I guess I'm safe!  Hahahaha.

On the Blog This Week






Happy Friday, y’all!
