Stay Warm, Stay Cool

I used to think wearing long sleeves and shorts was ridiculous. Long sleeves are for cold weather. Shorts are for warm weather. So the only logical reason for wearing them together is if you have some malfunction in your car where it blows cold air from the top vents and hot air from the bottom. Right? No, silly. I finally get it. I don’t know about the rest of you, but my top half tends to get chillier than my bottom half. So shorts keep my legs from sweating when it’s warm out (we hit 80 last week! yay!) but long sleeves keep me from freezing once I get inside an air-conditioned building.

Shorts + long sleeves = springtime comfort. It’s like a whole new world has opened up for me. And speaking of new, are you digging these new Cole Haan shades? Because I totally am. I went looking for classic black sunglasses, so naturally this is what I bought. You can’t tell that well from the photos, but the lenses are tinted blue! I think they look like perfect poolside shades (where I probably will not wear long sleeves but you never know).

Guess Who Wore Snakeskin? (It’s Not Me.)

This story starts out boring and gets really interesting, so stay with me…

I wore this outfit for a day of studying in various spots around town. Can I just say that this maxi skirt is the comfiest thing ever? And can I also say that I don’t know why I waited this long to get a jean jacket? There, I’ve said those things.

Anyway, that evening I was back home and it was a beautiful day. My apartment complex sits near a river, and there’s a walking path through the woods so you can get to this little gazebo overlooking the water. The water is brown, but still…it’s nice. So we walked over there to enjoy the scenery and take photos of my outfit.

As I was striking one of my many fabulous poses where I stare off into the distance, I started to notice something…

Wanna guess what it was?

If you guessed a six-foot snake sleeping in a tree, you were right!

Here’s where you learn something about me you might not expect. I FREAKING LOVE SNAKES. I think they’re so cool. Since we didn’t know what kind of snake this was, we obviously kept a safe distance (found out later it was probably a rat snake, which is non-venemous). But the zoom lens on the camera definitely came in handy to see this guy up close! I think he looks pretty cute, but that’s just me.
