check me out: a true canadian ex-pat

Although I do miss Canada, I don’t miss it’s dodgy weather. So what do I do at the first sign of vaguely spring-like weather (here it comes in January, in Vancouver it usually doesn’t come till, oh, JUNE)? Like a true canadian ex-pat, out come the shorts.

redshorts.jpg
Erin Fetherston for Target pleated velveteen shorts: clearance, $6.99
old man hat originally from H&M: FreeStyle Clothing Exchange, $9
black T-shirt with keyhole and button: gift from mum
gray oversize Jacob cardi: thrifted, $5
wooly over-the-knee socks: Target, $3.99
black Blowfish moccasins (Lori’s Shoes): a gift from my friend Rich

Yeah, I did the cliche Chicago pose with the hat. So sue me. I didn’t feel like putting on makeup.

  10. I definitely understand/sympathize with you. I live in Buffalo, NY. The high temperature for today is eleven degrees. If it were about 50 outside I’d probably be wearing a skirt, or some sweet velveteen shorts like yours!

  11. Hey girls,any of you aware of something like “FreeStyle Clothing Exchange” in NY area?
    I hate to throw away so many cothes, now that I lost weight and I always was interested in others people choices…

  12. You are waaaaaay too adorable. The only probem is that I am in Bishkek and it is several degrees below zero. Looks like no shorts in my near future. Sigh.

  13. Hey,
    In Van it’s nice by end of March. I’ll prove it with my outfits (lol). That being said, those shorts are 6.99 adorable!

  14. Nice outfit! But don’t slag on Vancouver too much, it’s positively balmy compared to Edmonton… :)
