20121221-223325.jpgIn a 24-hour period on Thursday, Indianapolis saw 50 degrees, 20 degrees, thunder, rain, snow, and 50+ mph winds. I’m not sure how else to deal with these conditions besides rain boots and half a sweater.

Yes, this is half a sweater. I’m not sure exactly what the designer/manufacturer was going for, but I was intrigued. I guess it was supposed to be like a shoulder warmer slash turtleneck slash short poncho? I got it in an XL (I normally wear an XS) so it fits more like a really big infinity scarf. I feel like I wouldn’t have liked it in my normal size. It would have been too constricting. Anyway, I got this thing a few years ago. Clearly it did not become a trend because I haven’t seen much like it. I don’t wear it very often, but the insane weather on the eve of the “apocalypse” seemed like a good occasion.

Yep, it’s my prettier half, who so kindly let me dress her up and take pictures of her. She’s like a real-life Barbie doll. Except I will never leave her floating face down in the bathtub or give her a buzz cut.

During one of my many long study sessions in bed with Coco sleeping peacefully next to me, I happened to glance into Kristin’s open closet and had this great idea for an outfit for her. I’m not really a fan of denim on denim for me, but since Kristin has more of a casual, misplaced-surfer-meets-nutty-professor style, I thought she could pull it off. Plus, I got her this sweater for Christmas a couple years ago, and I feel like she only wears it when I gently remind her to. Ahem. But it’s so cute.

OK, be sure to shower her with compliments in the comments so I can continue to convince her to be a model once in a while!
