The rest of my family has finally returned from the sunny shores back to the frigid lands of suburban Chicago, so I was able to convince my papa to take a few pictures of me in my new paletot and vintage for capelet in the 7 inch deep snow and 10 degree weather (isn't he a doll!)
My muff was left out in the rain last year, and hasn't since re-acquired its floppy softness. But doesn't it look pretty!

| I look a wee bit homicidal. But isn't my pallor fashionable! |
All in all, I don't think that I'll put fur on the cuffs, but I will DEFINITELY change the collar into a standing collar. As it is, it simply isn't cooperating, and it won't take too long either.
Huzzah for decent selfies!
It's so sweet Miss Fauve :P! Red is my favorite color and that fur compliments is perfectly! :) Your pallor is fashionable indeed :) I'm tan and freckled, not very fashionable I'm afraid. I don't see any thing wrong with the sleeves. I feel ya on the fur thing...I've got a mink stole and I almost can't bring myself to wear it. I'm just curious, are you a vegetarian? I love eating bacon and turkey burgers too much for that, but I have several friends that are.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny that you are like, complaining about all the snow, and down here we just go nuts if it even starts to flurry :P We get it once a year, like 3-4", if at all.

Yup, veggie for life! (or since middle school... or whenever we go out to Dim Sum, because I love me some steamed pork buns...) I'm pale because I have no social life and hate going into the sun, haha!
DeleteYes, us Chicagoans have been forced to adapt to bad snow conditions. My freshman year saw about 4 feet in one night, and that was the first time we'd closed the school for snow in almost a hundred years! I honestly don't mind it, I still get as excited as a little kid whenever it starts coming down!
Also, do you call him Papa in real life? If so that's so sweet, I love the term Papa :).
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so classy to say paPAH and maMAH. It reminds me a little bit of Little House on the Prairie, even though that's only Pa and Ma.
DeleteI call my mom mama and sometimes mum but I call my dad daddy. I love lHOP :)
DeleteI call my dad papa sometimes... I call him sir, too... guess where I've spent most of my life? ;) LOL I call my mom mum sometimes too :) but I also use ma and pa! ROFL Pwetty Pwetty, Frieda! ♥
