LOVEly

The title of this post makes me vom a little in my own mouth its so cheesy. Tomorrow is the first of February and Valentines day is upon us again. Typically I try to ignore the whole thing. 2011 is going to be different. I'm going to totally embrace the holiday like a love sick high schooler in a movie that ends with a school dance. Paper hearts, love songs, pink and red sweaters galore. Winter depression has sunk me pretty low, so low that the prospect of going out and having drinks exhausts me and anything that isn't happening on the couch is like something on TV, and only vaguely real. To turn that around I'm surrounding myself with happy, cute and potentially vomit inducing Valentine's Day enthusiasm. It will probably only last through Wednesday, but here's to trying.
My outfit today was put together around my pale pink cashmere sweater that I picked up at Savers a few years ago for about 5 or so dollars. Its the color of spring flowers, but since its winter I needed to bring it back down to reality with wool shorts, tights, and tall boots made for walking the icy SoHo streets. The single greatest thing about "dress shorts" is having the freedom of movement that comes with pants, without any of the discomfort. Skirts can actually be quite uncomfortable on the subway if they don't completely cover your butt when you sit down, but this isn't the case with shorts. No ice-butt for me, thanks.
