I know that when so many people are dealing with severe arctic chill, I really have no right to whine about the cold snap here in central Florida, but when I moved out of the northeast for warmth I just didn’t expect to be bundling up with a warm coat, several layers, and gloves in order to walk the dog after dark. No, it’s not bone chilling and skin numbing, but yes, my arthritis screams and my whole body tightens up. Last year when it kept getting down into the 30s and 40s, everyone kept saying how unusual it was, but here we are again, expecting frost. The kicker for me is that I gave away most of my cold weather clothing (including outerwear) when we moved. Here I thought I’d been so smart since we have such limited closet and storage space in our severely downsized home, and now I find myself having to buy new things just to survive a winter in central Florida. Not that shopping is such a terrible thing… I do love to shop as much IRL as I do on the grid, the difference is that I just don’t wear it half as well as my alter-ego here. And let’s face it… she doesn’t actually FEEL the cold, she just puts on the right clothes to fit the weather scene and to look good lol! It’s the weekend… happy shopping!!!!
- Outfit: GuGuVaGa Fashion (GGVG) – Rain Coat & Dress. Sophisticated, classy, edgy, this look is so stylish it can’t be summed up easily! A mid-length modified trench coat (it looks like leather, but then it wouldn’t be good in the rain or snow, now would it?) hanging open over a sensational little tube dress. Comes in 7 different color packs, each with a single color raincoat (black, blue, lilac, orange, yellow, red, or pink) plus 5 colors of the tube dress. I just love the drama of bright red paired with black, especially with a bright red for my hair, but wow, was it a tough choice! Sized for Legacy, Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I, & Maitreya, this amazing look is EXCLUSIVELY at the January Swank Event, open Jan 7th – 31st. Demo available.
