The Best Laid Plans

Happy Monday, Stylenation!  I had planned to be writing from my parents' house in Ohio this week, but instead I'm sitting at home sick, looking out at some lovely yet annoying snow.  I was planning to visit my family this week for the holidays (since my parents will be out of town later in the month), but had to postpone my trip due to all of the snow here in the Midwest.  I'm pretty bummed because I was looking forward to seeing family and friends that I haven't seen since my trip home this summer.  Although it snowed pretty much all day yesterday here in Chicago, we only have a few inches on the ground.  Definitely not a lot compared to what our Minnesota-area readers got, or even other parts of the Midwest.  I considered leaving this morning, but Northwest Indiana - the only way to get to Ohio from here - is still in a state of emergency because of all of the snow they've been getting.  So I'll try again this weekend.

This is such a lackluster start to the No Repeats Challenge, but I promise things will pick up from here.  They'd pretty much have to. I have a lot of holiday things planned for the next couple of weeks, so that will help.  What I'm wearing today is definitely my typical work-from-home outfit for the winter.  The one thing I do like is the inclusion of my beloved, 10 year old Dr. Martens boots.  You can't tell what a nice shade of dark red they are in this picture, although there is a poorly-lit close-up at the bottom of this post.

How is your week shaping up?  Academics, is the end of the semester in sight?
