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!

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.

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

Smh. I don't know anything about anything, anymore. Hehe. Very few things are predictable, these days. The weather, especially. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts! It's snowing heavily, right now, as I type this. Yes. Gaia giveth and she taketh away. Lqtm.

I like the leggings, too! I couldn't tell they were textured, though. I was hoping for something smooth, but I found myself feeling as if I was wearing pinstriped pants. They're pretty flash. :P

Oh, I moved to Canada! I thought I'd mentioned it. :D I left the US in May 2017 and I didn't start up my blog again until October 2017. <3

Now I understood! I read blogs on Mondays and Tuesdays mainly and I was wondering why I miss your posts by a week :) Now I saw you posted this on Wednesday - but nevertheless, here I am and I loved your socks and blazer! I loved that shade, it's so mood uplifting! I hope you are fine and not so busy, although that is very unlikely, studying! That's why I didn't come here earlier! Hope you have a nice day!

Hey! Thanks! Oh, no worries. I used to post every Tuesday and Thursday, but I hardly have the time to cultivate that much content on a weekly basis, so when I returned to blogging, I resigned to just doing one post each week and Wednesdays seemed to be as good an option as any. :PPP

I'm actually on my lunch break, right now. Back to studying in about an hour or so. It just never stops. Heh. T_T
