Woke up this morning and it was snowing. For some reason it still surprises me. I guess it only surprises me if it wasn't snowing when I went to sleep.
A lot of people wanted to know the story behind that leather skirt I posted. I got it from this amazing vintage/thrift store in Spokane, WA called Drop Yer Drawers. I'd been there quite a few times, but that particular time I went I was trying to get to know the weird old hippie dude that owns it so I could do a write up about DYD in my magazine, CORSAIR. I ended up listening to crazy stories from him for a couple hours and shared lunch with him from a teriyaki take out place. In return, he gave me the skirt, which I had planned on buying anyway. I think DYD is still my all time favorite thrift store. Possibly because of the crazy old dreadlocked hippie.
Yup. I woke up and it was snowing and now I'm basking in the tropics. So if you were wondering why I'm wearing bare legs in the middle of a snowstorm, it was so very brief, and for good cause.

This dress was perfect for a flight. Pretty much like wearing jammies the whole flight. I made a last minute run to F21 and used up the last of my Christmas gift card to get some tropics-appropriate items. When I saw this dress I knew it was going to be my airplane outfit.
Well, I'm not sure what the agenda is today, possibly some beach-going and general relaxation. Oh! And perhaps renting a bike???!!!

Yay for comfy t-shirt dresses and planes! I always have to wear a crazily thick wool sweater and two pairs of tights even when I'm goign to warm climates because I get so cold on planes! And I love the story about the crazy hippie with dreadlocks ... this dude who owns the corner store in my hometown near my house used to hide behind the door before my brother and I came in and then he would jump out and bark at us and then pretend that nothing had happened and tell us about his life as a Korean dude in Mexico for the past twenty five years. I loved him and his store forever and ever after that!

Jealous! I could use a little sun on my legs, although I really do hate flying so I guess it would be perfect if I could teleport!
