Do you know what I really hate about this weather? I’m never sure what shoes to wear. If I wear flats and it rains, ruined. Plus a cold – not good. If I wear boots because it might rain, then the whole thing spins out of control: UGGS? What if it gets really warm?? Leather boots? Again: rain will ruin them. Rain boots? Ridiculous unless it definitely rains. “Best” part is, it’s grey, and gloomy, and cloudy, and it’s drizzling. Why the hell is it drizzling? No I am not a neurotic freak, it’s been drizzling for 2 whole weeks. If it’s going to rain, rain. If it isn’t, then stop it. Honestly. In any case I was going to wear pink. I got this really cure all-shades-of-pink manicure and I felt like a matching outfit. But with this depressing weather I soon changed my mind into something more weather-appropriate. That and the fact that my eye caught a zebra print ribbon peaking from my ribbon box on the way to the shower and my mind was made up: zebra day. You see, in my books, zebra goes with denim jacket. It’s just the way it goes, I guess. And you cannot, must not, please don’t ever, wear denim jacket with jeans. I don’t care how different the two blues are. You just don’t do it. It’s like social suicide. So Denim jacket means black trousers. Washed and worn but you get it, right? So I had the basics, but still no zebra. Shoes: zebra flats, that was easy. I got the cutest pair at H&M a couple of years back and I never really wear them much… hmmm… note to self, must wear more animal print before it goes out of style again. Now, I need a top. Of course a denim jacket would do the trick, but I am neither Lindsay Lohan nor a nudist, so I went over to my white tops and selected a white lace tee from Forever21 which always makes my outfit just that bit more fashionable. Finally, accessories. What’s an outfit without them? Almost automatically I rumbled through my scarfs until I found this cute little piece I bought in NY first time around which is kind of I-GO-WITH-THE-DENIM-JACKET- IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN… A zebra handbag was just too much, I thought, so instead I grabbed a white and black shoulder bag I picked up at Charming Charlie (a must go discovery, if you want my advice), some sunglasses (for all that sun, right?) and off I went, table shopping. Might show them to you one day, totally gorgeous!!
