In case you haven’t heard, Punxsutawney Phil did indeed see his shadow last Monday. A couple of us here at INPT have been in total groundhog denial, even questioning the validity of a weather forecasting rodent. But as the week passed and snow continually fell, we finally came around. After all, who are we to question the furry little guy? At least his forecasts are always accurate. Hee Hee!

And so we must accept six, no five (WOOT!) more weeks of wintry weather. I know you’re dying to wear sandals and a sundress again, but take a look at some of these winter accessories. They might be just what you need to jazz up your growing dull winter wardrobe. Another perk, all of winter stuff is going on SALE!

Despite it’s name, this First Frost Beret from Urban Outfitters is the perfect beret to keep you styling until spring.  Originally, $24.99, it’s now only $14.99.

When I first saw this a month or so ago, I was like that’s not going to keep me warm, but now with only a few more weeks left, I somehow don’t care.  Get your pretty crocheted headband customized on Etsy for only $23.

This cashmere Coach scarf isn’t on sale, but it’s worth every penny. It’s so soft and luxurious and the bright colors on the gray background are just perfect for this time of year.    Last time I checked it was $168.

This is a trend I wasn’t sure if I liked at first, but it’s grown on me and now I’m ready to throw one over some leggings and black riding boots.  Gingham buttoned dress, available at Forever 21, for $22.80.

Probably too dark for spring, so get your vamp fix on while you can.  I love Butter nail lacquers because they are free of formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP, which are all known carcinogens.  Plus they have funny names, like this one, Union Jack Black.  The website says “Jet black and uber-glossy, this goes on like liquid patent leather. Be warned, you may have the sudden urge to wear 6 inch stilettos and carry a riding crop.”  I like it. Available via the Butter website for $14.

Wear these gorgeous tights under your favorite black dress to spice it up. Available at Express for $16.50.  Right now they are buy 1 pair get the second pair 50% off.  Get an additional 20% off, by typing in  this code when you check out 6386.

Trying to stay positive,
