Outfit:

Free People Songbird Sweater (ebay.com), $30.00 (orginally $98), Joie maroon pants (hand-me-down),  Clarks boots (postmark.com), $85.00 SPLURGE ALERT, scarf (gifted)

OK – so this is not my cheapest outfit ever, but the sweater and shoes are staples for the winter.  I recently got hooked on a website called poshmark.com.  It’s a consignment site where you can post all of the things you want to sell from your closet and scroll through millions of other people’s closets.  I’ll admit…it’s addicting.  Pretty much anything that you could ever want is stored on this site, which can be overwhelming if you don’t have a specific focus.

I was on a mission to find a waterproof, cute boot that would be super comfortable to walk around in through all conditions!  I came across these Clarks and they had never been worn!  They were originally marked at $160, and advertised as $100.  I negotiated it down to $85.  Still pricey, but I thought they were a good deal!

They are lined in fur and I love that I can trudge through puddles with no fear!  Waterproof for the win!

Occasion: Gun Control March

It was a powerful experience to be a part of the Gun Control march in Montpelier and part of a nationwide event.  Youth eloquently and assertively spoke in front of thousands saying, “Enough is enough!”.  Gun control is something that I believe in strongly, but I don’t like that people are scapegoating mental health.  Mental health is not the problem.  People struggling with mental health challenges are not more likely to hurt others, it is people who have violent and abusive backgrounds that should be denied access.  In general, I am against guns, especially powerful weapons like semi-automatics.  But this is not a mental health problem.  Ok, I spoke my “peace”.

It is amazing when people come together for such important causes.
