I took the above photo in mid-January and uploaded it to flickr in mid-February. The title:

Somehow I trick myself into believing that if I go around wearing floaty summer dresses, winter will end all the sooner.

The caption:

This day’s wardrobe consisted of the following: Flared jeans + floaty summer dress + gray sweater + puffy down vest. Four, five layers on any given day is quite normal, as far as I’m concerned. This is what happens when one is a proponent of the HIPPIEFUNK style.

Also, the lighting in this photo is on crack, and winter is not ending anytime soon. Both of these things bother me – the latter more so than the former, obviously.

Well, guess, what? My trick WORKED! It’s mid-March now, and we’ve had temperatures in the 70s and 80s for the last week or so. That, coupled with the recent Daylights Savings time change (which means it gets dark later now), are as perfect as it can get. It’s only too bad I’ve barely gotten a chance to enjoy the sunshine and daylight, since I still leave work later in the evenings anyway. Lunch break? What’s that?
