Now, I had been dreading the cold weather since last week when the temperatures reached 3 degrees below zero up at Mammoth Lakes, however the weather was much milder when I was there with a high of 43 and a low of 3 degrees. I definitely bundled up with lots of layers (leggings and long sleeve tees were my best friends), but also tried to look somewhat put together.
On Friday, my mom and I hung out around the condo and had some girl time. For lunch, we went into the village and met up with my brother and my dad and even got some shopping in. After lunch, we rode the gondola up to the lodge and had a drink while taking in the sights. Unfortunately I got a migraine and we had to return to the condo, but I had a great time up to that point. Since the plan was to be walking around outside, I layered it up. I wore two pairs of leggings under my black jeans and wore a tank top and long sleeved tee under the striped tee I wore on top. I finished the look with my black leather boots, black scarf, and my long turquoise peacoat. The results are below:
Tank: Target (old)
Long Sleeve White Tee: Wal Mart $8
Long Sleeve Striped Tee: H&M $12
Black Leggings: Target $7

On the second day of the trip, I got all geared up to go snowboarding. My brother and dad had gone the day before so they already had their lift tickets and rentals. When I got to the lodge at 9 am, the line for rentals was over two hours long! At 11 am, I was only half way through the line so I decided to head back to the condo. It wasn't worth the wait and the cost for half a day of boarding. When I returned home, I changed into a comfier outfit for the rest of the day. I used the same black jeans from the day before (one of my tricks for packing light on a trip) and layered it with a black long sleeve tee and a cozy sweater. Both outfits are featured below:
Black Long Sleeve Tee: Marshalls $7.99
Black Thermal: Hurley via Ross (old)

The third and final day of the trip was to be a driving day. We had to check out of the condo by 9 am so we decided to wander around the village again to do some shopping. I had picked out a few souvenirs that I wanted to pick up and I needed to grab myself a sweatshirt. (The sweatshirt has become a traveling tradition. I buy sweatshirts on the trips I go on. So far I have ones from San Diego, Hawaii, New York, and now Mammoth.) The outfit I chose is below:
Tank Top: Hanes via Mervyns (old)
Sweater: KMart $15
Cords: Calvin Klein Jeans via Marshalls $12.99
Boots: David Tate via DSW $95
Watch: Nixon (gift)
Necklace: Tiffanys (gift)

Overall it was a great trip. I'm so glad I was able to spend some time with my family, and have a little fun too. I hope next time I make it up to Mammoth I'll be able to make it onto the slopes. Here are a few shots I took of the mountains while I was up there...
