Well the snow is almost gone (for now) but it seems the cold temperatures are here to stay.  Yesterday I surfaced from behind a two foot high pile of textbooks, notes, calculators, etc. to go for a brisk walk around the park.  My boyfriend snapped these shots while we were there.  It has to be said: the one with the leather jacket thrown nonchalantly over the shoulder was his idea - I can't take credit for that much cheesiness ;)
Good luck to those writing finals!!

for the love of flannel

Flannel button-up shirts used to be a beloved staple in my casual fall/winter wardrobe - but that was when I had long hair.  Back then, these shirts could easily be thrown on and layered for a cozy, casual cold weather look.  Since cutting my hair short, however, I find this way of wearing flannels to be a little too... er, masculine on me.  For that reason this section of my closet has gone largely unworn this season.  That is until I went out to supper with some friends a few days ago and realized how much I missed wearing flannel in the fall.  Since then I've been determined to wear these shirts again in a way that better suits my new hairstyle.  Adding some feminine touches, such as a pink lipstick, necklace, pleated skirt and heels has made this look wearable for me again and I'm looking forward to trying out other ways to wear these shirts in future outfits.
