I Need a Second Opinion...Stat.

If my prior post was 'quintessential', this is 'antithesis'. But I wanted to try out this cardigan my mother in law gave me as an early Christmas present, and it was quite cold out so I decided to hang out with these super fun + functional-but-not-super-me pants.

The result of this ensemble equation was an unusual amount of comments that seemed to imply more about the rest of my wardrobe than just observe the outfit at hand. They were including but not limited to the following.

"You look so professional."

"You like such a grown-up today."

"Are those regular, lady pants?"

&

"You look like you could be a nurse."

I'm assuming the last comment was a reference to hospital scrubs. This combination might need to visit the remix clinic.

Cold Comfort

It was 16 degrees out this morning. In a few months I will get out a sarong and sip margaritas at the mere notion of this temperature. But right now I'm not acclimated and I'm not thrilled. Brrr.

This outfit wasn't really warm enough, but I wore my new boots, and I got my herr did (if you don't know me personally, you will quickly learn that salons are my Mother Ship. If you do know me personally and you didn't know that nugget, then you don't really know me personally. Sorry, it's true). Anyway, my joy kept me warm. That and about 8 cups too many of coffee. Which is a wretched torture that I will take care to avoid in the future. Yikes!

sweater: thrifted ($2!), skirt: H&M, leggings: a mart of some variety, boots: heaven, earrings: gift from my mother-in-law.
