in which i despise that devil ice

Photobucket

One more reason I am beyond ready for spring to come? I've had enough of this ice situation. I already fell once this winter, right on my elbow, such that I thought it had shattered into a million little elbow-bone pieces. And I fell again today--whammo--right on my knee, which is now a swollen, mangled mess of burst blood vessels and (what feels like) bruised bone. I'd take fluffy snow any day over this. (And I know I'm wearing heels, but I'm so careful!)

Anyway, enough whiny-time. I'm trying to squeeze in as much neutral brown and black as I can before I officially give myself over to the pretty pastels of springtime (there is still ice on the ground, after all).

When I destroyed my knee this morning my mind went immediately to how amusingly perilous fashion blogging can be, and then to how strange it is in general. I've been taking pictures of myself every morning (weekends excepted) for over two years now, and publishing them on the internet. That's longer than I've committed to anything in my entire life. When I really think about it, it all just seems so bizarre. These modern times...

Sometimes I start to feel ridiculous, but then, life is ridiculous.
And that's what makes it so much fun.

  3. Aww poor knee!! That sounds really painful, I'm such a clutz I fall so often, so I always have random bruises all over. I love this outfit though, the feather dress is so gorgeous with that sweater over it. The neutrals are so perfect together.
    Step carefully, fashion blogging is a dangerous business

  4. we havent experienced too much ice but the last storm we had caused my porch to freeze and I took a pretty big fall trying to walk down my steps. It left one gnarly bruise. I hope Spring gets its butt here asap!

  5. I am loving the feather print. Lovely!
    Hope you haven't smashed your knee up too badly, ice is lethal. I'm with you on being more than ready for Spring!
    Fashion blogging is mental, when you stop to think about it. My poor mother cannot get her round the fact I took photos of myself for total strangers to look at on the internet. And when you put it like that, it does seem rather bizarre.

    ahaha it is funny if you think about fashion blogging and how much time we commit to it! it's always interesting telling a new friend or boyfriend, what you're doing with the tripod and camera, taking photos of yourself every day ha

  8. Oh no! I hate ice! Luckily it's hardly ever icy where I live.
    I really really love your feather dress with the sweater layered over it. Your boots are great too.
    I hope your injuries feel better soon!

  9. Oh, your poor knee! You are so brave with the ice & snow. When it gets snowy here I go straight for the Rain boots, I don't mess around. And also am kind of klutzy.
    I love the dress. I think the up-coming spring is a great excuse to wear all the neutrals NOW.

  12. Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it
    was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your
    blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate
    it.
