Cozy puffy coat and flares

Wearing: blue statement earrings / scarf (old, similar here) / vegan leather puffy coat (on sale!) / blue top / G buckle belt / ivory handbag / flare jeans (under $100) / golden boots /

OK, so in case you haven’t noticed, I wear these jeans all the time! They are super comfortable and fit really well. Plus, they are under $100! Love that!

But let’s get to the important things. . .

This vegan leather puffy jacket is on major sale! I purchased this jacket last year and find myself wearing it all the time during cold weather. It is super comfortable, and I love how fabulous it looks. It is currently on sale in both black and brown. So, if you have been eyeing it, now is the time to snap one up!

Also, in case you missed it, Pantone announced the color of 2023 earlier this month. It is Viva Magenta, and you can read about it here. I have this vintage pashmina scarf from the late 1990s which is somewhat similar to Viva Magenta, so I decided to pull it out and wear it as often as possible. I found another similar scarf for under $100 here in case you want to rock the color of 2023 this winter with me! I really like it paired with blue. Which color or colors do you like Viva Magenta paired with for clothing? It is being paired with neutrals for home interior such as shades of beige or pale tan.

SFO Museum SF Opera A Centennial Celebration review

sf opera costumes
sfo museum

SFO Museum has a new exhibit in B Gates in the American Airlines terminal! If you love opera, this is an amazing opportunity to see a few SF Opera costumes up close and personal. The intricate details on the costumes is indescribable; and these photos do not do them justice. You must see them in person. I mean, what better excuse do you need to plan a vacation?

We all arrive at the airport so early these days, especially if we anticipate a long wait at TSA. It is so nice to know the SFO Museum has displays around the airport that we can enjoy, and often learn from, while we wait for our flight. I mean, why sit at the gate when you are about to sit on a plane for several hours? The walking is nice!

Whether or not you love opera, you will appreciate the beautiful details on the costumes, as well as the historical lesson about the San Francisco Opera! If you are visiting San Francisco, be sure to attend a SF Opera performance, you will enjoy it!

You can learn more about the SFO Museum at SFOMuseum.org.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a safe flight!
