Faux Leather Joggers, Fuzzy Sweater & Leopard Pumps: Thursday Fashion Files Link Up

Today I’m super excited to be the Guest Co-host for the first official Thursday Fashion Files Link Party along with the super sweet Carrie from Curly Crafty Mom and the always stylish Jill from Doused In Pink. Make sure you join in on the fun and link up with us!

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
