Crazy Talk

Wowee, it's warm outside. It's 52º, and at this point I'll take what I can friggen get. So maybe it's time to shuffle off the the 450 down North Face parka and trade it in for the lightweight 80 down windbreaker. Or should you really choose to push the limits, try a grey faux leather jacket on for size. Try it. I dare you.

Disclaimer: if you do choose to try it, you will no doubt get pneumonia. I did.

The guiding question in this story: at what point is fashion really killer? For example, when do we differentiate between jacket weather and coat weather? Because the difference could truly make all the difference in the diagnostics of common cold vs. Vicerella. And, for the sake of looking cool, do I stumble in around in school in arthritis inducing blue suede ankle boots and trousers that clearly deserve a belt for preventive thong exposition, but really don't deserve a belt in conjunction with said outfit? Also in preservation of the cool factor, do I endure the persistent itch of tag in sporting my t-shirt in the more flattering backward manner?

Ultimately: does beauty really have to be synonymous with pain?

And for the sake of not getting too philosophical on a Monday, what is there to wear when in actual physical pain. There's never been a guide to how to dress for Pneumonia. I personally struggle with being perceived as to "well" yet still wanting to dress up to my unconventional standards and then just end up saying " Bleep it, I'm wearing leggings, and yes they are from Luluemon and they're comfy and chic as hell, so bleep it".

And that's how you dress for Pneumonia.

Forever 21 jacket, Target jeans and Ado boots.

I apologize, my thought process is a bit off today. I blame the damn Pneumonia and the leather jacket that gave it to me.
