I've been trying my best to avoid writing a post like this for some time now, as I feel I'm going to harp on the obvious, but I just can't do it anymore so here goes: winter sucks. Of course, aspects of winter, such as the holidays and being at home and gorging yourself on good food, etc. etc. are– in a word– awesome, but the other aspects of winter, i.e. waking up for a grey sky and a shivering shuffle to class each morning, are no fun. At all. And, because I tend to be more superstitious than scientific when it comes to my weather predictions, I'm terrified that the bizarro warm December much of the US had this season means a bizarro cold March is looming in our future. Thus, I've taken it upon myself to will the return of spring (and, hopefully along with it, my sanity), by incorporating bright elements into all my outfits. Below are some of the things I've been sporting lately to fight frost with fashion:
1. Pastel and Neon Nail Colors
Essie in Turquoise and Caicos, target.com, $7.79
Courtesy: Temptalia
Color Club in Explosive, enailsupply.com, $4.95
2. Bright Jeans
J Brand Twill Skinny Jeans in Bright Green, revolveclothing.com, $176
3. Colorful, Oversized Bag
Linea Pelle "Dylan" Medium Tote in Zucca, lpcollection.com, (Past Season)
4. Vivid Print Scarves
Collection XIIX Oversized Print Scarf, nordstrom.com, $38 (sale)
Disclaimer: It was actually only after I loaded the pictures of all these items that I realized they are all basically yellow/orange or turquoise/green. I think this shows where my subconscious has been since returning to college -- in the sun and on the sea. If only it could take me with it.
