16 January 2013

I bet that, during these brief blogging absences, you guys go nuts wondering about my current thoughts on life and style and weather and society and feminism. I bet you can't even sleep at night. But don't worry! I am here, and boy, do I have thoughts or what!   To start with, these photos are from yesterday, hence the aptly titled post of "16 January 2013." It was slightly above freezing so I decided to chance my skin out in the snow and slight cold. Before leaving, I had been wearing some fancy black leather wedges, but then I paused and thought to myself, "You know, this is a blog of absolutely authenticity. When I leave the house later today [which I actually didn't end up doing because I'm a loser who'd rather stay in, paint with water colours, eat ice cream, and watch Twin Peaks] I will definitely be wearing practical winter boots." Nothing bugs me more than when I see so-called style bloggers or people on fashion sites wearing Jeffrey Campbell Litas or something of similar style out in the snow and ice. I think, "You loser, you probably wore those for 5 minutes and then switched into dorky snow boots so you didn't crack your head open." Don't worry guys, I am 100% authentic. So I took photos in dorky snow boots. (On the bright side - warm feet for photos & fiddling with camera!)   So there's my first rant for this blog post! Second: I wore this cape yesterday (the only Forever 21 item I own), which I don't wear much because when I bought it and was so in love with it, my fuckwit rubbish boyfriend at the time criticised me for it. This was at a time when I actually cared what boys (or anyone) thought about me, so I shoved it into the back of my closet for a couple of years and got sad whenever it found its way out. So now I'm wearing it again, and if boyfriend doesn't like it then, well...who cares. I don't care what boyfriend wears. He shouldn't care what I wear. (Side note: I totally would care if he wore something horribly offensive, like an "I Enjoy Vagina" Coca-Cola knock off t-shirt. Those hurt my little feminist soul.)   I was so excited about this post that I completely forgot what else I was going to say! Well, tomorrow is our last day of above freezing weather for a while...actually our last day of above 0 degrees (Farenheit) for a while! Monday puts us into -5 and frigid temps for a week. I am celebrating by being my usual badass self, calling out of work, and going to the zoo. Come on, a 45 degree high? You just don't get that in January! I also haven't seen those polar bears since July.   Anyways, boyfriend should be arriving any moment, so I better go get cute and prepare to continue with Twin Peaks! We started it on Monday and have been watching every night since. We're obsessed. Stay warm kiddies xx
