What I’m wearing through the storm.
It didn’t take a groundhog for me to realize that green
grass and stocking-less legs are more than 6 weeks away. Like NESCAC boys to
Fireball, snow is flocking to the Northeast. We are getting hit on harder than
a single girl on February 15th except snow is serving us unlimited
icy cocktails, not handsome (yet slightly douchey) Wall Street working, lax bro
alumns. Sigh. Mother Nature is coming
on hard, pulling out all of the stops, making sure we remember that spring is
still 9-foot snow drifts, quarry-deep slush puddles and piles of thawing dog
poop away. March 21st means nothing.
Damn you, calendar year.
As per usual, I’m over it. It’s time to rebel. I’m done
looking like a marshmallow with two left feet. The faux fur on my down jacket
(PETA oxymoron?) has matted down and so are my hopes of being tan once again.
As you know, these pants are glorified leggings at best. The
only thing qualifying them as pants is the button closure and the price tag and
I’m fine with that. But if we were going to use price to determine the rest of
my outfit, I might as well be using a dishcloth as a shawl. Not to sound like a
brat, but I’ve shied away from Forever21 since I broke out of my teens. Long
story short, I went back in and got this Fak-ne jacket (fake Acne). (Remember
when I was eyeing the original?) Haters can hate but I’m still in
pre-Valentine’s Day love.
The quality is pretty on point for an under $100 jacket and
this thing keeps me warm. I pull it out when I don’t need a force field to
protect me from the snow showers. It looks like my version is sold out online
but keep your eye out for Forever21’s “Premium Outerwear” line. I’m impressed.
Stay warm!
