I know many of you probably think I’m a complete lunatic for taking my shots outside in the snow. And let me tell you ahead of time, before you scroll down and see my kick ass leopard pumps, I did not tromp around in the snow in those suckers. A lunatic perhaps, but stupid I’m not. While outside I was sportin’ my ever-present Bearpaws and I put these back on before taking the snaps. In any case, I’m not as insane brave as you think I am. Before I head out, I get all of my camera settings taken care of, my tripod ready and my clothes adjusted. The spot where I take my pictures is only about fifteen feet outside my back door, so I bolt out there and get ‘er done in approximately two or three minutes. That’s it. Even I can handle the chill for two or three minutes. Unless, like I mentioned the other day, the temperature involves less than two digits or a minus sign then my friends, all bets are off. And I can tell you for certain, there will be no outside pictures tomorrow. The high is -1…you read that right…-1. Seriously, how can -1 even be called a “high”??

I do love my faux leather joggers, but they seem to have one rather inconvenient downfall I was unaware of. Apparently when it’s super dry inside due to having the heat fired up to fight off the Arctic air, they become a giant ball of static. Every time I moved they latched on to me like plastic wrap you’re trying to tear off the roll. Whenever I stood up I’d have to bend over and yank down the ankles to unglue them from legs. My husband suggested I put a blow dryer down my pants and inflate them a little bit…he’s always so helpful like that. The black fuzzy sweater had a similar issue. It attracted every teeny tiny bit of pink fuzz off of my scarf so it kind of looks like a black and pink tweed sweater…ya, let’s go with that. #winterstyleproblems
