well.

 here we have it, Vancouver.

a nice taste of the winter chill.

my dress code?

i'm either in layer upon layer [upon layer]

or 

i've thrown on a light jacket & i'm out the door.

 i'll expand:

 LESS

sometimes i just don't care.

sometimes i wake up in the morning with a coffee/tea in hand & walk out the door without even the slightest consideration that maybe [just maybe]

it's minus 8 degrees out. 

SOMETIMES i just wanna dress the way i wanna frickin dress.

and so then i freeze... 99% of the time.

but then i find myself at the end of the day asking myself how i survived & without ever having a proper explanation i just accept that it will

always be "battle of the weather" when it comes to my style choices.

and so i'll go to sleep, 

wake up

and [probably] do it all over again.

MORE

i'd been going over and over how to properly layer for this weather & for awhile i was a little stumped.

 so i throw on a basic top & add a blazer/cardigan/vest overtop?

well.

 okay, sure. 

OR

 i can layer a sweater or hoodie over top of a tunic over top of an even longer tunic.

add a scarf.

 add a hat. 

...add earmuffs [or don't]

i like to refer to this process of layering as "blobbing" 

simply b/c one may end up looking like...[duh] a friggin' BLOB.

i can't tell you it's the most flattering look.

blobbing isn't some sort of "mating call technique".

in fact it may not even get you a single glance from the male sex.

it just is what it is.

the real good, oversized, baggy sweaters that have ZERO shape to them are like...

how do i say this?

 it's like

eating the eyeball of a fish,

...it's the best part.

[...yes, i'm filipino].
