My feet are buried in leaves, but I really was wearing shoes, see?…

There they are!

So here it is December, and most of the country was way above average temperatures the past couple days. Americans are all about their freedom, and apparently the weather thinks it’s free to be 70 degrees at the time of year when everyone is singing “Let it Snow” and “Winter Wonderland.” But hey, I’m not complaining (except about having to shave my legs). I took the opportunity to put on my favorite breezy skirt and go do some studying at Starbucks. My first exam is on Saturday and it’s very tempting to stay cooped up in the house for a week. But if I spend too much time at home, ironically I begin to look like a homeless person. So. Real clothes and fresh air it is!

20121126-203508.jpgI ordered this necklace from LOFT recently (on sale – score!) and I knew it would make a great addition to any party dress. However, my list of parties to go to in the immediate future is rather slim (read: nonexistent), and I didn’t want to wait a couple weeks!

So I decided to let my new statement necklace come out and play at school with an otherwise very casual outfit. I’m not sure if I’m dressing up the sweatshirt or dressing down the necklace. It’s one of those questions we may never answer…like “Why did the chicken cross the road?” and “Is global warming real?” Oh wait. To get to the other side, and YES.
