Bundled Up

I joined a 52 week challenge where I can't use my car one day each week for all of 2011. On Saturday we rode our bikes everywhere, but Monday I opted to take the bus to work. That meant I had to dress warmly enough to stand around at a bus stop and to walk about 1/2 mile from the bus to my office.

There was residual snow here Monday so I bundled up. And I mean BUNDLED UP. I had on leggings, a skirt, a full slip, a dress, a cardigan, a pashmina, and topped it off with a winter coat. I thought I would be really hot in the office, but something must have been wrong with the heater b/c it was freezing in the building. I was the only person who wasn't cold.

What I Wore That Was 5 Layers Deep:

• black leggings and socks (Target)
• grey skirt (via Goodwill)
• dress (via Goodwill)
• striped cardi (Target)
• grey scarf (via Goodwill)
• grey suede boots (Lane Bryant)
• skinny black belt (Target)
• earrings (via swap)
• bracelet (Payless)

What I Ate That Kept Me Warm:

• breakfast: Fiber One pancakes w/ oatmeal and blueberries, banana
• lunch: root vegetable stew, apple
• snack: spinach salad, carrot, Clif Z bar, persimmon
• dinner: fat free hot dogs, sweet potato fries
