Cool January day.
Winter is pretty mild here in the Northwest United States, and as much as you may hear it rains buckets all year long, it really just stays gray in the winter and as unpredictable as a drunk reality starlet the rest of the year. Most months you may wake up to the sun shining, birds chirping, and a nice warm temperature outside. So you dress for that and the moment you open your front door it seems that the sky has gone dark, the birds are gone, and a hefty wind is blowing a storm in from the coast, or wherever storms come from. So you change. And the weather changes too. And so on and so fourth until you just accept that you'll either look ridiculous wearing a wool jacket and leather boots in 65 degrees, or freezing in shorts and a cotton blouse.
But right now I'm enjoying the predictability of it being 45 degrees and overcast, which means, skirt, sweater, and coat. Just add accessories.
