Snow Day

1/28/2014

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

Hey dear!
Here I am, how are you? It seems that you are having a great cold weather! brrrrrrrrrr..
However, I love your look. Those sunglasses are fantastic and In think that it's a good idea to wearing them in the situations like this (too much snow or rain :D )
And I love your new cap too! It's just awesome <3
Take care

Contrary to what you may think, I think this is a GROUND BREAKING outfit! :D I love this skirt, this skirt speaks to me, this skirt makes me drool <3 Adore the glasses as well! Boyfriend wears glasses all the time, especially when it snows or rain. He's a MAN, so wearing umbrella while a huge snow storm is a no no, because manly men don't wear umbrella...go figure! >.<

Bah! Heh. This outfit is boring city, at least in my brain. I need to embrace simplicity. Less is more or something? Gahhh. It's so hard. Hahaha, yeah. Sunglasses would actually be more effective, unless he's got one of those fancy umbrellas that won't flip in the wind. :P I have one of those! It's briiiiight pink, though. So...yeah. I don't carry it often. Heh.

I wear sunglasses all the time in winter. I find the snow too bright.

That hat is adorable!

You always look so beautiful and original! I didn't think "why is she with sunglasses?" but after you mentioned it I thought it is a good idea - and I wear contact lenses, would be good to avoid snow. Although I am waiting for snow for months :( I envy you with this beautiful background, where is our snow heeeere!? Only rain! Well, I agree with you that this must be the greatest hat ever - I loved it! And the sheep? Looovely! I also loved the skirt - not only it's red, but long and I love it! Ah, the baking machine :) I bought that and when I saw I didn't have sugar. And impatient to try it I thought "why not with salt..." Then I created that and it was like the little things we eat at art exhibitions, I loved it! And guess what? In 10 min the cakes are ready! denisesplanet com

You're amazing. Amazing! <3 So nice! Oh and that baking machine, though. I respect it and fear it. It's powers are so awesome, but I'm afraid that the convenience it affords will lead to some serious gluttony on my part. Haha.

Dang, girl. Here in KY everything is shut down today because of the cold without snow! It hit -6 today, 4 as the high. I hate winter :( But you look pretty toasty!

Man I wish I could go shopping again - want new clothes dammit!
This post also makes me want to purchase winter clothes, and considering it is an average of 30C in our Summer, I think not haha.

I've found some success in turning so-called summer garments into winter-ready outfits. It just takes a bit of layering. Though, seeing as how you apparently live in some tropical paradise...hahaha. ;)

Smart call on the sunglasses. I try to wear mine in the snow too, because otherwise my eyeliner runs...and that's a shame because that doesn't go on easy!

OMG the houndstooth bag! LOVE IT! :D

Also, any time is a good time for sunnies, in my opinion. And they always add a little edgyness to your outfits. :D
