Fish Out Of Water

It's snow! Yes, but also, nooooooooooo. =( Hehe. I'm not a fan, you guys. There are some days when I look out the window at the flurries and I think: "Hey, yeah alright, that's nice. How 'bout that there." More often than not, though, snow makes me miserable, especially when it starts to melt and then freeze.

It's the very definition of a death trap. I mean, have you ever almost wiped out on some curiously slippery snow? That's ice under there, bro! F*cking sucks. Heh. People really need to do better about shoveling the sidewalks, too. I mean, it's practically a religion in the Midwest (well, that and there are hefty fines for not doing it), so I had high expectations for Canada and man, seriously, you guys. Wtf. I'm finding out all kinds of things from living here. Let me tell you. Heh. I'm watching you, Canada. o_O

Needless to say, it took a lot of convincing to get me to go outside and brave the slippery slush and ice and the possibility of wiping out in front of a bunch of randos and losing all of my dignity. Turns out free coffee and dessert​ ​is all it would take. Who knew? Hehe. So, I decided to dress up for the occasion.

Fun fact: As I was having my picture taken, a lady with two kids walked up the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street and started piling them into an SUV. As she went around to the driver's side door, she called to me and said her kids liked my outfit. Haha. I said that was sweet of them and thanked her.

What else was I going to do? I mean, my first thought was: 'Is this outfit *that* childish?' Hehe. Yeah, probably. It's pretty quirky and the socks are pretty funny. It was just weird. It wasn't like *she* liked the outfit, it was that her children did. I don't know. Probably overthinking it. The whole exchange inspired me to hurry the hell up, though, because it made me realize that people were looking at me. Haha.

You'd think extreme cold would keep people indoors, but you'd be amazed at the number of people who a) actually like the cold and b) relish being outside in freezing temperatures. I can't catch a break. ;P

I love winter and I love snow and it's just so unfair that you guys in America stole all of this winter's snow while I haven't seen a single snowflake yet! What kind of winter is that?! :D
When it comes to these kids, well, they have kind of different view - they see things that adults don't see or don't want to see.
So I would treat it as a compliment.
Because, this outfit is really awesome! This shade of green looks perfect with black and the pop of yellow is just in the right place.

Lqtm. I wish I could be like you! You can have all the snow! Many of us don't want it here! Hehe <3

Yeah, I dunno. I have a tendency to internalize things and I often don't accept compliments at face value. I usually try to figure out where they're coming from and then I get wrapped up in the exercise. I really don't take compliments very well.

Oh and thank you! I've had the duster cardigan for awhile now and I managed to show off the black and red versions, but not this one. I should wear it more, because I love the color so much! <333

Duuude, I totally feel the pain of frozen snow. I did the chicken dance not few days ago :D
I think children are more natural and honest, and I think it is awesome that they like your outfit. Children like the different and original, and this outfit is exactly that. No need to overthink it my dear, you are awesome

Hahaha. "Chicken dance." Very accurate description. No one should ever have to do such a thing in public. <3

I like the cold :) But I agree with you that when snow melts it's argh, terrible. It's definitely dangerous... my former supervisor fell down on thin ice days before her 70th birthday... and she spent 3 months in physiotherapy. I was extra careful after that...! I loved your outfit, loved the socks and the coat, the bag! I am a fan of bold colors in winter! I think that the lady liked your outfit, but just said that her kids did because she felt ashamed to start a conversation, saying "hey, I like your outfit" and maybe she thought "if I say that she will think I am crazy". I hope you have a nice week!

You know, that possibility never occurred to me. Maybe you're right? Hehe. Thanks, Denise! <333
