Pink & Green







You know what? I like this outfit, and I like it a lot. In fact, I seem to like any outfit as long as this jacket is a part of it (see here, and here too! Notice how I refuse to wear it without a belt). I also like the idea of leg warmers under boots. I know leg warmers are more of a winter thing, but hell, it's barely been above 40°F lately, so what's the difference? I even like my ol' Kris Kringle boots here. What's this? Positivism? I know, I'm shocked too.

I have to admit, I was a bit jumpy today while I was out taking photos. I heard multiple times on the local news this morning that the bears are coming out, and they are hungrayyyyy. In case you didn't know (you can't really tell by looking at me, you know, so you're forgiven if you didn't), I used to have an intense fear of bears when I was younger. I rarely went outside by myself in the summers because I was a scaredy cat. I also used to babysit my mom when she was mowing the lawn by sitting on the picnic table with a book, throughly eyeing up the woods behind our house every 30 seconds or so for bears. I have no idea, mind you, what I would have done if I had actually saw a bear, considering I was just a 10 year old little girl and not Timothy Treadwell or something, but my heart was in the right place. Anyway, I guess you're supposed to make lots of noise to keep bears away, so here I am, modeling my outfit to "Big Pimpin'" on repeat, which apparently is the only song that made its way on to my phone. Enjoy!

  2. Yup, great jacket, indeed! And I guess it's a gift to us Minnesotans if we like boots that we get what, 6 months of winter? Did it snow there today? It did here. :(

  5. I like it, too. The second picture, of your face with hair blowing in front of it, is charming. You look like you will be marrying a Prince next week.

  8. You look smashing. I love that outfit too. I think you should wear it every day!! Except that we wouldn't get to see all your other awesome looks. Hmmm, it's a dilemma.

    That Timothy Treadwell movie freaked me out. So crazy. Werner Herzog was on NPR this morning talking about the movie with Terry Gross. I got shivers thinking about that movie.

    Also, I love that you would babysit your Mom to keep her safe from the bears. That made my heart go squish.

  18. I love this outfit! I'm a sucker too for anything that includes a military style khaki jacket! This one is a perfect example!!
    Life saving tip when it comes to bear attack : You have to lie down and play dead (flat on your stomach or curled into a ball), cause bears are picky with their food. If it thinks the danger (you) is eliminated it will break the attack!! New nicknames the bf made up for me - "survivor" and "eye of the tiger"!! That qualifies me for giving out bear-advice!! Kisses :)

  21. Know what? These boots look comfortable enough that you might even try to escape from the huuuungry bear. But no, I totally get your worries. I remember we once did a road trip through Canada and the bears roaming around our camper van at night did frighten me too.
    But enough of dangerous animals... Cool outfit!

  23. Cute look and I love the socks peeking out of the boots. like you said, you need to go by the temperature not the month of the year. :)

    Wow, are bears seriously a big problem? Where I grew up it was alligators. I am not which I would rather run into!

    Glad you are all postive and stuff!! Keep smiling.

  30. I don't know what i'd do if i saw a wild bear. i'd probably get mauled.

    But the jacket is lovely, and i'm all about socks/legwarmers with boots these days, because i'm so done with tights!

    Chic on the Cheap
