¡que tengo frio!

Posted in style by portia on March 13th, 2008

It has been raining insanely. Yesterday, it rained non-stop the sky seemed to be suffering from incontinence. I slept at 6am. It was still raining. When I awoke at 1030am, it was pouring even more. I was practically freezing to death. Which is a good excuse anyhows to bundle up

I never like how people like to say I reveal flesh– trust me, there are tons of people who walk around in poor excuses of microshorts when they have thunder thighs. I don’t do that. Anyhows, it’s not my job here on this site to be extremely mean and caustic the way I normally am, albeit peppered with a dose of tongue-in-cheek.


Or is it tongue-in-cheek peppered with a few shakes of satire. Both, say I.

I’ve always loved high-waisted skirts. And so I found this pair of culottes at the jumble sale. Fifty-cents, too. My top underneath– the La Senza PJs top– was a tad too low for a rainy day, and especially unsuitable for school. So the lamé cardigan became my scarf, after which I padded it on with the jacket.

Even though I was still cold because the winds blew bitterly. A nice, refreshing change from the inhumanly humid weather here, though.
