If there’s one decent thing that gets me through the tragic, ice-coated nightmare that is a Midwest winter, it is…AWARD SEASON. I love movies. I love TV. I love fashion. I love watching movies and TV and judging the fashion. Watching the Golden Globes and the Oscars is a little more fun when you’re informed, so in January we find out what’s getting “buzz” and warm up with some hot popcorn at the movies! This past weekend we saw The Post, and the weekend before that (when I wore this outfit) we saw I, Tonya. Both were great, but if I’m being honest…I liked I, Tonya better [insert slightly embarrassed but unapologetic emoji face here]. I, Tonya is funny, it’s clever, it’s moving, it makes you think, and best of all, it involves figure skating and 90s bangs.

We still have a few weeks before the Oscars – what else should I see?!

If you read my blog every day, you know I’m supposed to be in New York City right now for a fabulously nerdy fashion law conference. If you read literally any other news source, you know New York got hit with a beast of a snow storm yesterday. My Thursday morning flight got cancelled on Wednesday night, but then I got rebooked for Thursday afternoon. Not so bad. Had to cancel plans with friends, but I got some extra sleep, more time to pack, and did some work from home.

Around 1pm Thursday, an hour and half before I planned to leave for the airport, my rebooked flight got cancelled. (Cue dramatic fall to my knees while screaming “NOOOOO!”) I called the airline and searched all the websites I could think of, and the only option left would’ve involved getting to the airport at 4am and missing the first session of the conference. I was definitely excited for the trip, but it got to the point where the extra stress and extra effort was outweighing the few remaining benefits.

Sigh. So I cancelled my hotel, return flight, and conference registration, and then went out for a drink and Greek food. This outfit was going to be a great travel slash walking through snowy NYC ensemble, but it turned out to be a decent work from home slash eating consolation falafel ensemble instead.
