20121107-180713.jpgThe time change and shortened days are really confusing me and messing with my photo-taking time! Now I end up staring at my own shadow on the wall. I really want to make up an imaginary conversation between me and my shadow, but (a) I am not Peter Pan, and (b) it’s late and I don’t feel like being clever.

Instead, I’ll tell you a trick that probably everyone else already knew except me: To keep my jeans from riding up when I slid on these boots, I put snug-fitting socks over my jeans first. It’s like I can see clearly for the first time…with my feet.

Sweater: Macy’s, old (closest thing I could find but cute!)

20121106-170658.jpgNot gonna lie…I was little worried about looking totally wacky wearing these tights to school. Don’t get me wrong, I like to make a statement. I just prefer that that statement isn’t “I’m 4 years old and dressed myself for the first time today!”

But my mind was put at ease. I got about 50 compliments from friends, strangers, and the guy who works at the cafe in my building (he says something about my clothes almost every day…I think he’s my biggest fan). On a side note, I learned that some people still use the term “stockings.” This was news to me. In my book, stockings are for hanging by the chimney with care. These are tights.

I’m happy to know I can get away with these for class, but I’m looking forward to dressing them up a bit for a holiday party!
