Back in Black (and chartreuse, which I believe is some kind of green)
Hello Ladies of the SunheeMoon Blogosphere!
It is your beloved most excellently nerdy (2nd only to Lo :P) Moongirl herself, Joyce! After having the past few months off to regroup and visit the parents in Korea, I'm back in action, ready to rock and roll!
I don't know why I titled this "Back in Black (and chartreuse)" - I think it is because I am wearing a black crossfront cotton dress from Muji (the equivalent of IKEA in Japan except they also sport a clothing line) accented with a green scarf and the phrase is reminiscent of some of the better known "return" phrases such as "Backstreet's Back, alright!" or "I'll be back" (credit our current governor) or "Guess who's back. Back Again. Joyce is back. Tell your friends."
Okay, so I modified that last one but the point is, I am back, up and running and having a ball at Union today despite the grey skies and occasional drizzle. Have had a few custies in from Calgary and others from Chicago who say this weather is GREAT and an escape to warmth compared to what they live in back home. So who's to say that this weather is a downer? It's all perspective, isn't it?
So let's whip out our brightly colored galoshes, an oxblood Coco Cowl, some Dita Pretender Sunglasses and for what to throw on top, hey, I'd pick the gorgeous new perfect-for-SF-winter-weather Ondine Jacket (ahn-dine, I had to ask how to say it too), try it over a Qi cashmere turtleneck with a Trudy Crepe mini and tights underneath. Make the weather a reason to enjoy the day and take advantage of all the cute rainy day accessories that have been craving your attention in the back of your closet!
And let's not forget tomorrow's WE HEART THE MISSION shopping day!
