The End of an Era?

I sincerely hope this is the last time you will see me wearing tights for a long time. It finally started to warm up here this weekend and I wore skirts with bare legs. It was glorious. I will miss not having to shave though.

I don’t mean to be knocking on tights. I really do like them. This outfit for example – it wouldn’t look the same without tights. I like the black, green, black, green colorblocking I have going on here. And with bare legs, this skirt might be a little too short for the office. For some reason I feel like when you’re wearing tights, you’re not actually showing leg, just the illusion of leg. Is that just me? Probably. I tend to overthink things.

Plus, there’s something about tweed that reads fall/winter. I guess because it’s thick and sturdy. I would look kind of top-heavy (or top-warm) with two tweeds and nothing on the bottom.

See how I’m convincing myself that tights are great in case I have to wear them again this week? Yeah.

She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain

I felt like a mountain climber in this outfit. I mean, I’ve never climbed a mountain before, but I imagine this is a typical outfit for that activity. I’ve got the flat boots for handling rugged terrain. I’ve got jeans, because that’s what you wear for doing things outside. I’ve got a puffer vest, which is practical for when it gets cold at night. I’ve got a ponytail to keep my hair out of my face and to swat away bugs.

Finally, I’ve got a bright blue polka dot cardigan. That’s the most important part of my mountain climbing outfit because I’m sure to get lost, at which point I can call for help and tell the helicopter pilot to look for the girl in the bright blue polka dot cardigan.

Or I could just not go mountain climbing because I have no idea what I’m talking about. Yeah, let’s go with that.
