10 Below With A Chance Of Rainbows

Damn. This makes the second pair of pants I've worn since Winter began. o_O O_o Until recently, it's been shorts, leggings and tights dominating. I...guess I should start wearing more pants, eh? Haha. :P

Oh and you may have noticed that my coat is a little bit....irregular. Haha. Don't worry, I did this on purpose. Well..OK, actually it was on accident at first. When I was getting ready to leave, I had skipped a button on my coat and I was like 'oh sh*t I'd better fix that.' When I looked in the mirror and saw the asymmetrical hem, though, I thought 'umm..you know that looks alright.' So, there you go. I expect to see everybody buttoning their coats incorrectly on purpose to make a statement. Haha. :P

I guess I just couldn't help myself. I added the socks and the awesome sweater (which you will see below) to help jazz things up, but I still felt like the outfit looked plain with the coat buttoned up. The asymmetrical hem added just a bit more chaos
to the mix and made the outfit a little less boring.

Ask your doctor if magenta paired with mint and cobalt blue is right for you! ^_^  As far as unexpected color pairings go, I had as of yet to see sky blue and dark blue mixed in an outfit. I'm sure this is symptomatic of the fact that I don't read any fashion magazines and I probably don't follow enough style blogs. I have no doubt that this has been done before, but I just haven't seen it lately and I definitely haven't seen hot pink thrown into the mix. So, here you go! Haha. I love these colors together! <3
Sorry about the specks of white in the photos. That's just snow getting blown in my face. >_< Haha. That's about it! You've seen the coat here, sweater here and yellow satchel here, among other posts.

Take it easy and have a great rest of the week! 楽しんでね! ^_^

(P.S. - It wasn't actually -10
°F! I just wanted a snazzy title! Hehe)

Snow Day

I know what you're thinking: 'Why is she wearing sunglasses? The sun isn't out. What a doofus!' Well, first let me say, yes I'm a doofus. That's a given. >_< However, I often wear sunglasses when it snows (or rains) because it keeps the precipitation from welling up in my eye sockets. o_O It's kind of freakin' necessary. Haha. If you're a hardcore biker (like me) and you bike in the elements; or if you just like walking around in the rain and snow because you're partial to gallivanting, you have to protect your eyes or you might die! Hehe. So, yeah, I'm no stranger to wearing sunglasses at times like this. ^_^

Picture

Alright, so now that I've gotten that out of the way....Hehe.  Hurray for snow days! <3 Well, actually..it wasn't an official snow day. I was just being literal. :D This is the Midwest, after all. If you can still open the front door, then it's not a snow day. Haha. The snow came down pretty hard and the wind was erratic, but people were out shoveling, biking (snow tires FTW!) and leisurely walking their dogs.

I didn't want to miss out on the fun, so my partner and I decided to walk several blocks to get coffee. I don't think this outfit is particularly ground breaking, but I am wearing a couple new things that I wanted to share with you guys. So, my partner was kind enough to snap some photos of me before we left. ^_^

This houndstooth backpack is one of the newest additions to my collection of bags.
You might remember it from my previous post about ModCloth's 70% Off Now or Never Sale. As you can see, it's much bigger than the product photos may suggest. It can hold a lot of stuff and I love that. It's fairly sturdy, though some parts of it strike me as a bit flimsy for a designer backpack. I think the quality is decent for the discounted price I paid for it, though. I look forward to wearing this bag often. :D

Picture

You'll also notice that I'm wearing a new hat! ^_^ I got it as an XMAS gift and I have it in brown, too. The cat ears are so cute. If you're a regular follower of my blog, you know how much I love animal hats. Haha. So, it should come as no surprise that I couldn't resist this one. It's fairly thick knit, it covers my bowling ball head (sc0re!) and it's long enough to shield my ears. Best hat ever! You'll see it often. :D

Picture

OK. I'll stop talking at you now. Hehe. I hope you had a great weekend! :D
