Oh, that's not rain. Those are ice chips flying in my face. Yeahhhhh. >_< Lqtm. I had no idea that's what the deal was until I stepped outside with my partner and he was like 'Hmm. Probably should have brought an umbrella, eh?" Hehe. We weren't planning on going too far, at any rate, so we just decided to power through. Of course, I gave my partner the courtesy of standing with his back to the wind. :P

Yep. I totally got blasted from every which way with wind and ice, you guys. It was soooo great. Haha. Let me tell you. Fack. T_T. OK. I'll stop complaining....for now......Heh. Hey, check out this brown monochrome fantasticness I've got going on, right here! Ohhh yeah! :D I felt like it had been ages since I'd worn the vintage floral tapestry vest, so I stared at that piece for a really long time until all of the other pieces came together in the sort of masculine, sort of feminine outfit you now see before you. ​<3

 I get a kick out of the personal inscription in this vintage men's suit jacket, every time. :D That's what brought the whole "mister and misses" phrase to mind. "Specially Made for Mr. R. Christensen." Well, I wonder if Mr. Christensen ever thought that a brown girl with a shaved head would end up gallivanting in his suit jacket. Haha. Times have changed, indeed. Also, I have to say, this suit jacket is like a wearable bag of holding. It has four inner pockets. Four!!!! I didn't have to carry a bag at all and I felt so freeeeee. Haha. I carried my phone, wallet, handkerchief, chapstick, pouch for my glasses and a coin purse with room to spare. Why don't they make ladies jackets and coats like this? For f*ck's sake. I will never purchase a "women's suit" with those craptastic fake pockets ever again. Useless.

After our short walk to a nearby cafe to warm up, the falling ice suddenly ​turned into snow and not long after that it was completely white out. o_O O_o Strange how things can just turn on a dime, like that. Anyway, hope you enjoy my not-so-lady-like Valentine's Day outfit. More weirdness to come! <3

A Walk In The Park

Everything I said about being angry about the erratic weather and the fact that I found the complete lack of snow irritating..yeah, all that. Well, I take it back. I take it all, back, Gaia. T_T I never should have doubted you. Clearly, I spoke too soon. Feet were placed in mouths. Lessons were learned. Lqtm.

 Roosters came to roost. All the things. I'm so sorry. >_< Heh.  It snowed for three days straight. On the day these photos were taken, it snowed from morning to night. I had hoped that maybe there would be respite at some point that I could take advantage of, but I wasn't so lucky. So, yeah, there's snow in my face, in my eyes, in all the places. T_T It wasn't a dry snow, either. However, this meant it was warm enough to be outside without a scarf. I didn't even need gloves or the two layers of thermals I had on.

The burgundy sweater dress is not made of thick material. It's more of a light weight Fall/Spring dress, but with the two layers of thermals I wore underneath, I felt super comfortable. :P The dress is the last item I received from my sponsor, Tobi. I'm wearing a Size Medium. A large would have been too baggy. A small would have fit more closely and showed my body shape, but the medium allowed me to layer up and not look like a sausage. ;D I'm 5'9" and the dress completely covers my backside. Yay!

The best thing about the sweater dress, IMO, are the bell sleeves. What a nice little retro touch. <3

​
Given the temperate weather, there were lots of people out jogging, snow shoeing and just leisurely strolling. I have to admit, I quite enjoyed myself. It's so rare to be able to frolic in the snow without also feeling like your eyeballs are going to freeze and just fall right out. Haha. Normally, I brace myself before stepping out into the frozen tundra, but the whole ordeal turned out to be a real walk in the park.
