Pro tip: the key to being fashionable is dressing so that one small section of your body is very cold. But it can’t be something obvious like your hands or face. No, it must be a random 3-inch section of your mid calf. Voila. FASHUN.

And speaking of French, this impossibly soft, fancy sweatshirt is from the sustainable brand Amour Vert. The name is en français, but it’s a U.S. company, so overseas shipping costs (yay). This is the only thing I’ve bought from Amour Vert, but so far I’m impressed. And as you know, I have very high standards when it comes to fashun.

Part of me said “Should I wear ruffles AND a scarf? Is that too much?” and “Can I pull off ankle boots with these pants even though I’m short?” Then another part of me said “Screw it,” “Do it for the thrill,” “YOLO,” etc. And that’s the story of how I left the house in this outfit. I really don’t consider myself all that daring when it comes to dressing, but by other people’s standards (I’ve learned), I’m basically the fashion equivalent a base jumper.

So what do you think – would you file this under “regular, everyday wear” or “not in a million years”?
