what 58 degree weather can do to a girl

I was feeling a bit under the weather, but I still went outside to bike around with some of my little friends. The weather was amazing :) I felt so happy being outside. That was when I realized how much I hated the winter. I know that winter fashion is really cool, especially because of the tights, coats, gloves, scarves, socks, grays, blacks, and all the other wonderful things...but it still doesn't make me happy.
Tights are fun to wear but it is a pain taking them on and off for gym, and because of that pain, I risk being late to classes, another pain.We never get enough time to change, and I already make it dangerously close to the late bell when I am going to chemistry from gym, when I am not wearing tights. I sort of have a reputation for not being tardy, EVER, and I want to keep it up, so the only day I can happily wear tights is Tuesday, lab day, when I don't have gym.
But then the frigid, bone chilling cold hit, and I couldn't leave the house without wearing like 50 pairs of pants...gah.
Then my gloves got holes in them, because my fingers are freakishly long. And then my jacket's hood kept falling off.
And my ears got cold.
And my fingers.
And my toes.

So, bottom line is, I hate the cold. Everything about it.

But then again, the stylish people that are featured on The Sartorialist and Facehunter and Style Slicker make me want to reconsider.

Yet, I can't wait to hear the birds tweeting in the morning on my way to the bus stop.

I am also super excited about the fresh, sweet smell of new grass,

dancing in the rain,

wearing flouncy skirts (with tights on cool days, sans on warm ones),



looking for bunnies in my backyard,
playing in the fog with my best of friends,

having picnics,


and spring break!

I am watching the Grammys as I write this, and Chris Martin's (Coldplay) shirt was WAY too short. But I still love him. Who doesn't?

Anyways, I cannot wait till the spring/summer :)

On another note, I got a sparkly award, originally made by the tea drinking english rose, but passed down to me by Micaela, thank you, and it is wonderful!

  2. I know what you mean about tights. They can be such a pain to get in and out of when you have no time.

    All these pictures are really lovely. Thanks so much for the award :)

    That is a funny story. Yeah, the skirt is a tiny bit short for my taste, too. I saw it in the catalog (it must have looked longer on the model) and asked for it for Christmas, but then when I got it, I was kind of intimidated by it's shortness. I'm glad I figured out how to wear it.

  26. hehe I'm with ya! I'm planning on wearing a cute little dress tomorrow night for a vday date but I'm not looking forward to goose bumpy legs underneath my stockings! And don't get me started on my pasty pale skin...

    But, I'm a cold bug so sometimes I don't mind getting all bundled up :)

  27. Of course!

    Hmmm, my favorite color is green...I like lace and pearls and vintage girly things like that...bows, skirt or dress would be nice...I'm sorry I can't be more specific!
