walking in a winter wonderland (minus the winter, that is)

*Cringe, I hope these photos load okay. I'm experimenting with Imageshack*

I'll have you know that there's one thing that irks me about winter (well, there are a few, to be honest, but that's aside the point): when the temperature is freezing - winter coat material, that is - yet there is no snow! This just doesn't seem right. It's like Winter is only putting in a 50% effort. Little slacker, he is. I mean, if it's going to be cold, then there might as well be snow! (Possibly going to regret saying this phrase in the future, but anyways...)

So, as you can tell from this "winter-esque" pictures, there is no snow. But it is cold, trust me!

Anyways, I bring this matter of Winter because it was the annual Christmas Lunch at my school. It's one of the cheesiest days, ever, but I love Christmas, so I end up having a blast taking pictures with Santa and singing Christmas carols. Obviously, I was in a bit of the Christmas spirit whilst taken these photos.. (NOTE: Christmas tree).


I got accused of "not dressing up." In retrospect, my original plan of going full out red-and-green wouldn't have been so bad considering many came in full-on Christmas sweaters. But look, "I'm a snowflake, y'alll!" (Hence, more muted colours. I take my snowflake duties seriously, you know!)


This sweater is so amazing. The beadwork is incredible. I just can't get over it! I'm usually attracted to more "BAM POW! COLOUR IN YOUR FACE"-esque things, but I certainly fell in love with this stunna!



Layering skirts will probably be one of my, personal, winter trends..

I loved reading your last comments (I always do!) - but they were really fun to read. It's funny how personalities can come through clothes and fashion! A lot of you said that I'm probably really optimistic (which I am. To the point where this might come crashing down on me in the future), so I decided it might fun to switch up and share some of the things that irk me. Because everyone's irked by a few things, no? And my outfits not as "BAM BAM. go life!" as usual :)

*Ohhhh, I'm such a pessimist.* Here are things that irk me:
1. When it's freezing cold and December, yet there is no snow.
2. Instead of saying 'cool,' guys in my grade have taken the initiative of yelling 'dirrrrrtyyyy!' instead. That doesn't even make sense.
3. How I get super excited to have a red Facebook notification, only for it to be a "[random kid you don't talk to] just took a quiz! Check it out!"
4. Stupid abbreviations. Particularly when people spell the word "what" as "wat." That doesn't even sound right! If anything, it should be "wut." But really, is that hard to add the extra "h"?
5. Examinations. That is all. (Mine are this week. Goody..)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
What irks you?
(It's great if you see the cup as being half-full kind of thing, but please do share! I won't judge you. You know there's something..)
