OOTD and a New zip code.

Hi all!  How was your weekend!!!  I had a good one...we had lots fun on Friday (celebratory date night...I'll explain below), I was super productive on Saturday (cleaned out and organized a ton) and just relaxed on Sunday. Good all around.  

First up I wanted to share what I wore to church yesterday...

What I Wore:

-Thousand Carat Pullover-Anthropologie
-Cap Sleeve Tee-Shade Clothing

-Skirt-Shabby Apple
-Crossroads Belt

-Tegu Platforms-Anthropologie

-Necklace-Old Navy (old)

-Earrings-J Crew Factory

-Bracelet-Twisted Silver

-Bangles-Anthropologie

-Ring-Forever 21

I hadn't thought to pair this sweater with a skirt before...I now have plans to pair it with my Peppering Skirt in the future too!

So I mentioned above that hubby and I got out on Friday night for a little celebration.  What we were celebrating??  Well, on Friday afternoon I got the phone call I had been waiting for...finally!  I have loved living back in CA these past 5 years and will miss the bay area dearly, but I couldn't be more excited that we now know where we are headed next.  Drum roll please..............................................................................

Ohio!!!!!!!

And yes, we are thrilled!  Neither hubby or I have lived in the mid-west or the east before so this will be a whole new ball game.  I'm excited to explore a whole new part of the country and see some sites that I may not have otherwise seen anytime soon.  So in less than 4 short months we'll say goodbye to lots of things and people that we love, and hello to our new home in Ohio.  It'll be bittersweet.

Even though I'm changing zip codes my blog won't change much...minor adjustments in the hair department I'm guessing...my hair may now be a bit flatter in the summers (hello crazy humidity) and I may soon be sporting a lot more layers and closed-toe shoes/boots in the winter (snow anyone??) I even started to wonder to myself today if the way I dress here in CA will look odd to those in OH?  Do we dress the same?  Are trends just as popular there as they are here?  And don't worry, I've already looked up my closest Anthropologie...one will be 40-ish minutes away one way and another will be a little over an hour another way.  Do-able.  I hear there's some serious shopping to be had in Columbus...that may become my new favorite big city.  =)

So anyone know anything great about Ohio?  Specifically the Dayton area?  Do tell!  I'm trying to wrap my head around everything I can think of to prepare myself.   

I will say I've glanced into my closet a few times this weekend and realized what I may be missing for the big move...I'm thinking I see a pair of these in the near future:

And perhaps a pair of these as well for all that snow:

Heaven help me!   I think I can, I think I can...

So here's a question for all your cold-weather state people...what else am I going to need to survive the cold?  I have actually lived in snow before (I lived in Utah for 5 years) but it's been a while.  It'll be like starting over again after living in warmer climates these past 9 years.  I'd love to hear any advice you have!

Hope your week gets off to a great start...happy Monday to you!
