Fashion Forward

Since I was told that my current winter clothes were too 'muumuu'ish, I caved in and got new ones.  What do you think?

Can I just vent a little about how difficult it is to be trendy in subarctic temperatures?  My one indulgence while traveling is to purchase a few lighthearted fashion magazines for some carefree viewing while on train or plane.  But most of the time I just wind up snorting at pictures of open toe, gladiator high heels and gossamer-thin silk shirts thinking just how many seconds a body would last in those in below-freezing temps.  I see people around here waiting for the bus in skinny jeans and Converse sneakers, slouched over so that their clothes don't actually touch any part of their bare skin, with their hands in their pockets, and I know they must be hurting.

Show me a way to make snow boots look sexy oh ye fashion editors and I'll be a loyal reader for life.

Gotta go, just got annoyed with the husband for chewing in my ear and singing to our newborn son.  Think someone needs a nap...
