| polar vortex chic (OR: how i learned to stop worrying and enbrace lung-shattering cold) |

right, okay friends, so for 99.9% of the united states (percentages may not be accurate), it is what the experts call Cold As Balls outside. i fully admit that for most of this week, i've been rocking what is termed as "desperate to survive chic," partially because i've had an ear infection and it is really difficult to care about yr couture when you have an ear that threatens to knock you out every so often. but the past few days, i've actually been rocking warm and cute so i thought i'd share today's outfit as well as my outerwear in toasty solidarity with friends. ch-ch-check it out underneath this dope-ass lj cut.
( MOTHAFUCKIN SWAG I GUESS )
so that is basically it y'all, real talk. does anybody else have any cool Winter Fashion Tips to share with the class? i keep on hearing about these fleece lined tights but haven't gotten anything yet, TO MY DETRIMENT SIGH. please tell me all sempai, chinhands.jpg etc.
ETA: today, i bought not one but five pairs of fleece-lined leggings that i found at tj maxx for $5-6.

Ugh, usually I ask my More Stylish Than Me Boyfriend (tm) to tell me what I should buy - and I still will - but right now he's playing Assassin's Creed and I am impatient.
I need a new fall coat! I've been wearing the same thrift-store trench coat for about three or four years now, and I am tired of it. I'm all set for winter (ignore the gloves pls, it was super mild so I didn't get new gloves last winter and had to borrow some for that day), but it's getting chilly and I need a stylish new coat for blustery fall days.
Here are a few preliminary options:
One. Grey*! Fitted! Not too expensive!
Two. Not grey*! Fashionable! Not stupid expensive, but not as cheap.
Three. Grey*! Cute! Between the two prices!
Thoughts??
(*coming soon to a comm near you, an exhibition in several parts about how Emily fails at life. first up: monochromatic wardrobe.)
UPDATE: Stylish Boyfriend weighed in and deemed #2 (strong contender) too dowdy/old lady at the opera. I was skeptical, but then realized that Need Supply didn't have my size and so searched for the coat elsewhere and found a close-up of the fabric (also: still sold out of my size) and was totes turned off. I have cats, yo. There isn't any getting cat hair out of felted fabric.
SO #1 IT IS. stay tuned.
UPDATE UPDATE: A challenger appears?! idk idk I am suddenly full of doubts. NOT SURE ABOUT THE COLLAR ON #1 ANYMORE.
this is why I hate shopping. |
