Happy New Year once again!
It’s freezing cold outside!!! I, for one cannot stand this weather.
After leaving work yesterday, I went to the mall shopping for gloves and hat for the boys. I should have bought them a long time ago but I had not been able to find cute, good quality ones. Moreover, I am a big procrastinator too.
Boy, was it cold last night! As soon as I got home, I dropped my bags and headed for the couch. The only clothing I removed was my jacket. Alex came and laid on my chest. I needed the body warmth. LMBO! Though it came from a two years old, it was greatly appreciated. Minutes later, I requested for a blanket because my feet and ears felt frozen. I kept asking if the heat was on because it sure felt like it wasn’t. With my scarf and shoes still on, I took the blanket from Crystal (my daughter) and covered myself immediately. I sent the girl on so many errands last night. LMBO! I’m surprised she did not complain.
To cut a long story short, I eventually took my shoes off but remained on that couch till 5:00 am this morning. I had nothing in my tummy other than the salad I ate. It’s 5:24 pm and all I’ve had today is coffee. Oh! Did I mention I also went to Target last night in that cold to get my Caramel Macchiato Coffee? See previous post on coffee here. It’s still freezing outside but I plan on devouring some iyan and efo riro (dooney’s kitchen efo-riro is life) when I get home. For my non-Nigerian readers, these are traditional Nigerian food. Very Yummy!
The color palette for today’s OOTD is Marsala and Coral. I love the richness of Marsala, the color of the year. Few posts ago (here), I paired the Marsala turtle neck with a Fuchsia dress. In this look, you can see the color pairs well with coral. Other fall colors to consider are Oak Buff (golden-yellow) and Story Weather (dark blue). Well, I like using all those Pantone color names.

I should stop complaining about the harmattan cold here then, at least it gets sunny and hot during the day. Nice outfit btw.
Thanks Wumi! It’s cold around here 24hrs. Yesterday was a bit better because it was around 40s. Today is looking good as well.
Well done girl friend , its your year of divine favour amen.
Amen! Thank you!
