Living in the desert has brought on a whole new set of wardrobe issues.
Before we moved, I dropped bag after bag of clothes off at my friend Kelsey's house. Moving was the perfect motivation to clean out my closet. I knew I would be leaving behind not only my massive walk in closet, but also all winter-esk weather.
Sweaters?
See ya.
Jackets?
Don't need ya.
We landed in Arizona at the start of August. Also known as, Welcome To The Surface of The Sun. The 110 degree temps reconfirmed my decision to purge my clothes. For months it was too hot to wear much of anything.
But something strange happened in the middle of December.
It got cold.
Not freezing, I need a parka, cold. But cold. And I had pangs of regret at my lack of winter wear. I layered as much as I could, embracing the "is she homeless or trendy?" look. God bless the cardigans, scarfs, and boot socks that somehow made it through my cut down.
I'm happy to report the cold only lasted two weeks.
We are now sitting pretty in the low 70's and even hit 80 one day last week. My closet is fully equipped for those temps.
And because a couple friends support my awkward Here's Me Wearing Clothes posts, here is me. Wearing what I wore.

* when did my baby girl become a woman child?
This is the day it decided to just not be cold anymore. Had to ditch some layers by noon.
And was made fun of by my Arizona Native friends for it.

Both outfits, head to toe - target
Target in no way has compensated me for this post, I just have a serious problem. Although, if you're interested in sponsoring me Target, I'd be willing to think about it.
