Shear Genius

        I've been meaning to style this thrifted faux shearling denim jacket for forever now, but always had difficulties because I felt like it made me look short and boxy. I have since realized that, surprise surprise, heels exist (genius, I know). So I threw this outfit together with my staple heeled booties and my current favourite top- this beige turtle neck. This autumn and winter season, turtle necks have been my absolute essential and I've been wearing them almost everyday. However, I need more because before I got this beige one, all my turtle necks were black. Channeling my inner Steve Jobs apparently. Finding this beige one mixed up my closet a lot, and adds some colour to my otherwise black outfits with blue denim accents. Under the turtle neck I wore my trusted thermal, and under my jeans I wore thick black pantyhose, so I wouldn't freeze on campus.

Buckle Up

        This OOTD is from a few weeks ago, back when I was able to leave the house without a mandatory 4 layers along with my wool coat or parka. However, for all readers that live in milder climates, or who don't experience freezing winters, you can definitely wear this look right now in November.

Got 99 Layers

        It snowed today, and although that made many Vancourites irrationally angry this morning I honestly am excited. To me, any sign that the semester is coming to a close and Christmas is on its way is a good thing. 

        However, although I may love snow and love the holiday season, I hate the cold with every fibre of my being. I am perpetually cold- even during the hot and sweaty summer months, if I just stand in a shadow for too long, I complain that I'm cold. So winter time forces me to experiment with style and layering, in an "adapt of day" sort of way. I sound like I'm exaggerating but I am sad to say I'm not. Layering a collared shirt under a jumper or sweatshirt is a classic, and here I'm testing out turtle necks which I love the look of. I feel like I've been wearing black ankle boots too often recently so I decided to sport my classic Vans, and of course add a statement belt and a beanie.

        Also apologies for using the same wall over and over again. It's a damn good wall and it has been surprisingly difficult to find well lit walls with a basic background. Kind of hoping that maybe in the future I'll be able to get a studio? Or a background with some lights so I can shoot indoors. That definitely would be exciting.
