Fashion Friday - Summer Fling

This weather always has a way of psyching me out.

It's that damn groundhog. He fucks everything up. He comes out of his little hole, yawns and stretches, maybe releases some gas among other things, gets all us humans in a tizzy about whether or not we still have weeks of winter left, gets his photo op, then crawls back into its little cave probably laughing with his other groundhog friends about how we're all morons who base the next few weeks of weather on if he saw his shadow or not.

Basically, I'm sick of the cold. It looked like it was warming up (and yes, in Canada, zero degrees Celsius is warm at this time of year) and just as I started to leave my scarf and gloves at home, another snowfall hit. So now it's cold again and while I shouldn't be surprised, since I live in Canada and it's still February after all, that groundhog always gives me false hope that maybe this is the year where Spring will come early.

I figured this outfit gives me a little taste of summer while still braving the cold weather with some essential items. The belt in the dress allowed me to incorporate black (my favourite) into the outfit. Since it's still too cold to be walking around with a sleeveless dress, that shrug is a must.

Puxatony Phil might be able to take the Spring breeze away from me, but he will not take away my desire to dress as though Winter has finally been put to bed.

(I'm sorry if this makes no sense, but in my defense it's nearly 2am.)
