Obsessed!

With a down jacket. Yesterday I saw a woman on the corner as I was walking Duke in the AM. She had on the most amazing down coat. It looked like she was wrapped in a down burrito with arms. That is a good description, yet it does not convey the elegance of the coat. Altogether, she was an amazing looking person – I am guessing Northern European, and in town for Fashion Week. She had on amazing platform boots; a long heavy knit slim skirt, this amazing coat and a pert little hat. Aaah the coat! Now I am wondering if I could make it myself. Cena, want to have a little fashion project? The coat covered her butt, and in the back was half way down her thigh – long enough to keep you warm. At the top, the collar was folded down behind, creating an elegant frame for the head, and room for an intricately wrapped a scarf. One side of the front folded over the other, making a gracefully curved overlap, and included pockets. It really looked good and warm!

I’m obsessed with the idea of being warm, and looking good right now because it is freaking freezing here. When the temperature really dips below freezing, today it feels like 14 degrees, it just freaks me out. I admit it is not rational, but I find it mentally and emotionally difficult to cope with. I start to see the advantages of being a snow bird, and flying south until April!

The only saving grace is the sauna at the gym. I go in there and read until I am warm warm warm. Then I come home. I like to know I can be really warm, it helps to keep it in mind for when I am really cold! I read somewhere that Eartha Kitt spreads Vaseline all over her body, and goes to sit in her sauna, to keep herself looking young! I don’t think I am going to do that, but maybe I’ll put some on my toes before I leave home.

Warm thoughts!
