Old Navy Cable Knit Sweater (c/o) / Forever 21 Faux Fur Vest (Inspired by this one, but I couldn’t pass up F21’s price! The Forever 21 one runs HUGE, so be sure to size down. Also love the leopard version!) / J.Crew Necklace (Old, similar here and here… and ADORE this new one!) / Kate Spade Bag (Old, but I’m crazy about this bag–in green–from Henri Bendel!) / BlankNYC Cords (Similar here) / Ugg Boots (Okay. Here’s the deal: I used to hate Uggs. But I dug this pair from my college days out of my closet recently, and they’ve been a lifesaver for this awful, negative-degree week. How adorable are these bow-adorned Uggs, too? And the shorter version? I vow not to make this a regular thing, and to never to wear them with a mini skirt, haha.) / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o)

I’m the first person to complain about the cold. I’m that girl who carries a cardigan wherever she goes–even in 90-degree weather–just in case. My hands turn blue in over-air conditioned rooms, and I own at least five puffer vests which I wear indoors during three seasons. Clearly, I was meant to live in the tropics.

Over the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails and comments on social media about my outdoor photos. Why, in God’s name, would I subject myself to torture… all the for sake of a silly blog post? Especially if I’m not a fan of the cold?

And this, my friends, is a very valid question. ;)
