Oh, Winter....

I know it's not technically winter yet, but when it's this cold out and it gets dark so early, it's winter in my book. I've self-diagnosed myself with seasonal depression (actually, I did go to the doctor last year to confirm that I had low vitamin D), and even though I've been taking my supplements, there's just something about this time of year that puts me in a general funk. I think it's the getting dark early aspect that gets to me the most. The last thing that I want to do when it's dark at 5pm is go to the gym or run errands. Anyways, I decided that I'm going to combat the dark and dreary days by treating myself to some new (and needed) winter staples.

 

First up, Lululemon Astro pant

 

I have a ton of spandex running pants, so I wanted something different this season. The Astros are a perfect, snug fit and the material is awesome for running (ie. no sweat marks - runner problems....). These are also perfect for the morning power walking sessions that my neighbor, MC, and I have started!

 

 

Next up, Gap sweaters. They're running some awesome deals right now, and after having to toss a few of my worn down sweaters last year, I was more than happy to replace them with some fresh, cozy ones.

 

 

And finally, ASOS was running a 30% off promotion on winter coats and since I've been on the hunt for a new coat, I jumped on this adorable toggle one. The plaid print on the inside had me at first sight.

 

 

 

 

Any good winter fashion finds out there for you recently?
