the never-ending hot flash: an outfit post

if i've learned one thing in my life it's that you can trust a meteorologist's forecast as much as you can trust a politician's campaign promises. a prediction of highs in the low 60's, which influenced my decision to wear this lightweight sweater, actually ended up being a high of 81. so you can imagine that last friday when i wore this felt like a never-ending hot flash. oh, those meteorologists; why do i still listen when i know it's a fool's game?

sweater: vintage/thrifted, skirt: forever 21, boots: vintage/thrifted, ring: from my grandma's jewelry box, kona: humane society of amherst county

i really liked this outfit because: i get to wear boots, it incorporates my favorite skirt, and i love a space dyed sweater. i'm definitely wearing this again, but i'm going to stand outside for a while before i get dressed so i can decide for myself what they temperature will be!

one last thing, there's one week left to enter the $25 gift card GIVEAWAY from sneakpeeq, so be sure to get your name in the drawing!

      i'm gonna have to be honest, i LOVE snow! i hate cold weather if it's not snowing, though. the skirt i got last summer, so i doubt it would still be in stores, but maybe ebay?

      hahaha, i always want other people's clothes! i think weather people just want to be on tv, because they have no idea what they're talking about!

    You may have been sweaty/hot - but at least you looked really cute! That skirt is so pretty and the colors look great together. I'm thinking Kona is your dog - and he? is realllllly cute as well :)

    Hahah, you labeled Kona, I love it! I was wondering where I could pick one like him up at ;D

    I never look or listen to weather reports - what a crock. Well, I can't tell you're having a hot flash and your skirt is adorable :)

    Oh HELLO mustard-y skirt! Love it! Looks so comfy and great. I live in a 'tropical' island, so I've learnt to wear what I want at whichever weather. On a sidenote, today's weather was supposed to be sunny and let's just say my jeans are halfway drowning in rain water. So true, why DO we still listen to them? ;)
