OOTD: Thinking warmer thoughts...

I chose to live in Dallas because it's warm, not because it's similar to a meat freezer. OK, so it's not that bad (and I actually didn't choose to live in Dallas for that reason, whatevs), but I am definitely sick of this weather. I can't handle the cold (I think I was always meant to live in the South), so I've been thinking warmer thoughts lately. You know the thoughts. Where bare legs don't only mean the place you'll get frostbite. It may feel like it's in the 20's outside, but in my apartment, it's a balmy 70. (against the will of husband-dearest)--






Dress: LaRok "Call of the Wild" Dress
Jacket: Vision in Viridian Blazer (ModCloth)
Necklace: F21 pretttyyy
Belt: Antho Tea Rose belt
Socks: Nordstrom (Hue?) thigh-highs, rolled down
Shoes: Steve Madden shimmery bow pumps

I'll be playing with Picnik this week on my photos, so stay tuned for lots of OOTD's and some interesting effects. This is a part of my decision to make this blog a little prettier. I have to work with what I got (i.e. not so great camera), but I'm making a concerted effort to get better lighting, better background scenery, and better photo-editing. The prior two goals will be easier achieved when the weather gets better (outdoors shots!) and when I get a tripod. So hang tight, lovies!

  1. I'm in Canada and I feel the exact same as you. Even though I am in SOUTHERN Ontario, it's still fridig cold and I'm always bitter because my nose, feet and hands are constantly freezing. No matter the time of year. I think I was supposed to be born in Florida or something... :(

  2. I live in Chicago, have my whole life, and I'm still not used to the freezing cold!

  8. You've got me there, woman. And this might sound sick, but I get a little excited when I suck someone else into the black hole of obsessional shopping. Teehee :)
