Upon seeing these photos I asked Andy, “Why did you say I looked cute in this?” (It is–I think–common knowledge that we look different in photos than we do in the mirror. This has always been my experience anyway. And which is closer to reality: the photo or the mirror?) Andy said, “Well, you can’t see the bow in the photo.” (There’s a little scarf tie at the neck of this sweater, which, yeah, you can’t really see in the photo.)
Bow = cute.
I posted these photos (from Friday) anyway because it’s the first time I’ve worn shoes (and not boots) outside the house in a few months. Friday was crazy windy. It was so windy, my first thought was of the Chinook winds in Colorado, which I always think of as the wind that brings spring. Though it wasn’t that warm, most of the snow had melted, and I thought I could smell or sense spring in the wind. So I decided to wear these cute shoes with triangular cutouts for the first time.
We went to a movie and then stopped by a local bar with friends for a pint. The bar’s power was out due to the high winds, but they had the place all candlelit, the taps were working, and we had cash. It was lovely–quiet and intimate. When the lights came back on and the jukebox started blaring, I was a bit sad.
This isn’t Colorado, and there aren’t any mountains and thus, no Chinook. It is Monday now and there is a good foot of fresh snow on the ground. Back to the boots.
