Professor Quirrell







I still haven't seen the new Harry Potter movie yet, but in preparation for it, I've been having a Harry Potter movie marathon in my free time. I've got HP on the brain, so, needless to say, me in a purple head wrap reminds me of Professor Quirrell from the first movie. I'm a Harry Potter nerd, by the way. I went and stood outside Barnes & Noble at 4 a.m. to get first dibs on the last book a few years ago. And I'm totally planning on dressing up as Luna Lovegood for the midnight release of the last movie in July.

So, anyway, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing outside in the snow in a pair of bike shorts and gladiator sandals. I miss summer, what can I say. I must admit though, I did put on tights later on in the day. I was going to share my top-secret tip for taking pictures outside without a coat on in less-than-desirable temperatures, but I feel a cold coming on, and I think prancing around outside taking pictures might have had something to do with it, so I'm not going to share. I think it's more of a, "don't try this at home, folks," kind of thing. Stay inside, kids. Don't risk your health for your little ol' fashion blog!

* We're preparing for a blizzard up here in MN, and my internet usually goes out in bad weather conditions, so if I disappear from the 'net for a few days, that's why!

Sweater: Calvin Klein
Bike shorts & Belt: Urban Outfitters
Yellow top: Modcloth
Head wrap: Forever 21
Sandals: Dolce Vita
Clutch: Steven by Steve Madden

  2. I love the headscarf! But you're crazy to be taking pictures outside without a coat on! And with bare legs *Gasp* I sound like your Mother, I know.

    I'm glad you liked my post today, hopefully it cheered you up somewhat : ) I think we live in the exact same climate, we get snow until April, too.

    A blizzard already??? Stay warm! And Happy American Thanksgiving to you!

  3. I love your headscarf. I'v never been able to figure out how to properly wrap one myself.

    And bundle up girl! Don't forego your health for fashion, take your own advice!

  10. I was going to ask you if that was snow around you. It makes for a very beautiful backdrop though. hehe

    I'm probably the only one who has not read the Harry Potter books or seen the movie judging by the numbers at the box office
