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.

The Last Straw

Well, this is awkward. o_O O_o Where's all the snow?! Lqtm. I've been asking myself this question for quite awhile now. I literally watched the snow totally melt away in 24 hours. It was a rather balmy 46F / 7C when these photos were taken. The sun even made an appearance briefly before succumbing to the onslaught of grey clouds which ended up bringing intermittent light rain later in the evening.

It felt a lot more like late March / early April than the end of January, let me tell you. It kind of upset me, to be completely honest. I mean, come on, Gaia. Make up your mind! One minute I'm getting frost bite and the next I'm showing off my bare midriff. Haha. Gaia, you've got a lot of explaining to do!

Picture

Well, at any rate, the nice weather couldn't have arrived at a better time as I'm working with my first sponsor since returning to the world of blogging last Fall. The crop top and high waisted leggings are from my sponsor, Tobi. They were kind enough to let me pick out several items, but under the condition that they could choose what I would ultimately receive. I had picked out quite a few cold weather items and some accessories, so I was expecting maybe a sweater or a coat. Turns out, it would have been much too warm for me to wear anything like that. I started sweating as soon as I left the house.

Picture

This weather is effing ridiculous! Clearly, I'm fed up with it and apparently, so are my socks. Haha. They were a parting gift from a dear friend before I moved away to the land of poutine and maple syrup.
I happen to like the additional splash of colour they give the outfit as well as that extra bit of sass. ;D

Needless to say, it was a perfect afternoon for a stroll to get some lunch and a bit of coffee. I ended up getting sprinkled on just a bit along the way and there was a pretty cold wind that decided to make an appearance, so a warm beverage was just what the doctor ordered. :P On the off chance that you like the top and bottom I'm wearing and you want some more details: Both pieces are mediums. They're a bit slinky in texture, soft and stretchy. I think I could have worn a small in either garment, but I decided to size up just in case they shrink a bit after washing. No loose threads. Good quality and really comfy. Feel free to email me or leave me a comment, if you have questions (about anything, really). :D

I also want to thank Tobi for the rad clothes. I really appreciate the opportunity and I'm stoked to style the final mystery garment that I received. I'll see you all, next Wednesday! Have a great weekend! <3
