April is Capricious

The smell
Of recent rain
Hit my nose
Cold
From melting
Winter's grip
     Raymond A. Foss

Spring is as diverse as a Toronto sidewalk. Sunday: thunderstorms. Monday: plus

28. Today: minus 11 and snowy, very snowy. Since I'm a baby (and packed away

all my winter things) I invited a friend over to my place for our coffee date rather

than me braving the weather and going to our usual cafe. As we sipped our steaming

hot coffee (mine seriously cooled by the copious amount of cream I use) I couldn't

help but think the snowy scene outside with its fluffy snowflakes resembled more of

a December day than it did an April day. Do April snowfalls bring May flowers?

 

And to think that just yesterday I stepped out of the house in this! After months of

piling on the layers to walk outside with so little clothing gives me the feeling of being

entirely too exposed. I mean, look at all that skin I'm putting on display! And now it's

two posts in a row that I'm rocking my new wool vest. I don't know how I ever

survived before with a closet deprived of vests. I think it's now my new favourite

thing to layer a bright cardigan underneath my black vest. And just think of all the

layering possibilities this vest provides! A fashion bloggers dream piece really.
