This morning I was feeling optimistic. I took a shower.
I took a shower and shaved the bottom 10 cm. of my legs. And then I wore little heels and a slightly cropped pant and I exposed my ankle for the first time in many months.
It's not that I don't like winter. I can appreciate every season for both the good and the bad that they bring. But in the winter, what I miss most, is the chance to show some leg... even just a tiny slice of ankle. Boots are great, tights are ok and socks are cosy but bare legs are the best. I laugh at magazine editorials that trot out the biggest coats of the season and pair them with some micro shorts and high heels. I can do crazy once in a while, but I don't do frostbite. So I took advantage of this one day of sunshine and temperatures over the freezing mark and released the lady lumps (the ankles for everyone besides Fergie) to the outside world. Tomorrow it's going to be cold and I shall be back in boots but today...? Today was glorious.

I love your use of condiment inspired colours!
I'm also insanely jealous that you were able to expose your lady lumps!!

Your colors are fantastic! I'm going to need to steal some of this. Like maybe all of it.
Wrists and ankles? You are showin' a lot of skin, missy. I thought this was a PG operation. Alas, I like it with the skin, I just can't look away. You look too good.

Those sunnies are fabulous! Actually, the whole outfit is quite fab. I love the bold color mix!
Ok it's PERFECT, for realzies, but what I really want to know is if your mantographer had to make love to the ice in order to get that ankle shot. It's super down low and I like it.
You and Monketface both rocked the condiments today and you both look fantastic. The perfect outfit for the first hints of spring...
These colors + these proportions + these fantastic shoes=outfit envy. Love it!
i was literally reading your thrifting tips as i was walking through DI the other day. it's all thanks to you i had the successes i did.
and i love your mustard yellow top. gorgeous!

I am LOVING those sunglasses. Oof, I would own oodles of them if I could justify it somehow.
I am well aware of your deep-rooted love for Hamilton, but if you'd like to reveal your lady lumps more often, you need to consider a change of coast. Vancouver is waiting. I live 2 blocks from the beach and I could take your pics whenever. Like a good neighbor.
You are look tres chic!! I love the red ankle pants with the pretty leopard heels.
As for the sunglasses, I had to google Terry Richardson to understand your comparison, and oh my God!!! I have the gross chills going on right now.
Admit it, you were totally influenced my Old Navy's super irritating commercials... Welcome to the ankle show! I admire your optimism, am jealous of your mild temps and of your shoes, and am amused by your only shaving the necessary amount of leg. You, m'dear, are hilarious.
Girl, you are FUN-ny! And that is some kind of outfit. I absolutely love it. If I was more of a badass (with thin legs) I too would rock the red pants.
Oh no, I love the sunglasses! You have to keep wearing them. And the color palette of this ensemble is spectacular. I know what you mean about showing some skin. For me it's my shoulders. I love wearing sleeveless tops and all this covering up is beginning to be a bit of a downer. Thankfully, I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...
I love the colors for the first peak of sun and spring heading our way! The shades rock.

Oh my---LOVE the gold and red together (and those ruffles!). I want to get some cropped pants (okay,normal pants for us tall folks) and heels together ASAP.
Oh no... I love the sunglasses! Keep wearing them.
I love the bright colors of your outfit. I really need to get out of my all black rut.
Love the unexpected combination of colors. Seriously, who can pull of red cords like this? YOU!!
It's funny to read all this bare leg talk. I actually found myself happy to throw on some tights this past weekend while I was back in the States on a visa run. After so many months of barely getting dressed, it felt good to throw on layer after layer. Don't get me wrong; I think it was much more tolerable because I knew it was only for three days...and when I returned, I was so happy to be back in the sun!
I have an outfit that I have been waiting to wear when it gets above freezing that includes a little ankle exposure. I also don't do frostbite which means I have to keep waiting.
You look great and those sunglasses are pretty cool.
Cheers,
Bre
I LOVE the sunglasses!
The fashion/movie/music/sports industry doesn't care if you're a jerky, abusive perv if you make them money. (ie, Terry Richardson, Charlie Sheen, Roman Polanski, etc). Sad.
But those glasses? They look fantastic on you. And when I saw the picture I didn't associate you with a pervy photographer. So. . . yay? No seriously, reclaim those bad boys - they are all kinds of AWESOME.

Love the primary color combo. Here's to bare legs!
Very pretty outfit, love it! The color and the style of that top is to die for. I want a pair of leopard ballet flats :-(
Confessions of a Purse-a-holic
i literally JUST hopped out of the shower and shaved (the bottom half) of my own legs for the first time in wayyyy too long.
might i also say that your "lady lumps" are looking fab. ;)
I guess I got the memo for red pants today (post will be up later)! You look awesome, Jentine!
So happy to see you doing some leopard - did you know that it's "Leopard Week"? I wore "our" shoes yesterday and thought of you. If you'd like to be a participant (nothing other than wearing leopard until Friday is required), I will add a link to your blog. Drop me a comment and let me know. :)

The first thing I noticed is those amazing sunnies! I can't believe you thrifted those!!! yay for you!!
I love how you added a pattern with those shoes! Very chic look!

Uh-uh. No, no, no. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT let that pervy little poseur ruin ANYTHING for you, ever*. Especially not those delicious glasses! As a prescription lenses only girl, you can rest assured that I am eating my heart out over those amazing frames. Yow! Uncle Terry can only dream.
*Except maybe tampons. I can appreciate that you might not be able to bounce back from that level of creep.
I love the colours here. And those sunnies are great - wear them with pride.
Love that you were brave enough for exposing a bit of leg. Personally I am a boots girl and therefore happiest when I have my legs covered but this look is making me rethink.
haha! Love those glasses; they look awesome on you...I didn't make the Terry Richardson association until you brought it up, but in any case they're just a great thrift buy!
Love the WHOLE outfit...need to find me some red pants!
Damn you're right about that guy. He gives me the heebie jeevies too.
Today was my first day wearing ballet flats too (without hosiery!) How exciting! And you look awesome as usual.
i'm pretty much a blog lurker, but i'm forced to emerge from the shadows for one reason: the sunnies are amazing and not at all terry richardson-esque. you must keep them! ...and if they really are ruined for you, i'll gladly take 'em off your hands ;)
This outfit is all kinds of perfect.
I loved how you shaved the bottom 10 cm of your legs - it's so true though. If I'm only exposing a certain part of my leg why spend the time to shave the entire thing. :)
LOVE this entire outfit and great score with those sunglasses.
i have to admit that i'm not even a big animal print fan, but pairing these shoes with those red pants... fabulous!!

This outfit is glorious, Yen! I love the bright colors you used.
And forgive my absence on commenting on your blog --- I have been catching up on my dashboard this week and holy cow, your last couple posts have been awesome. Like they all reiterate why I come here for the sartorial inspiration and witty writing. Congrats on the blog anniversary, my friend. Yours is one of my favorite voices on the Internet.
I am increasingly certain that I need colorful pants. You look springishly bright and cheerful and not remotely Richardson-esque.
these colors together are fantastic!
gorgeous color combo!

I just discovered you and your beautiful blog via an interview you did with "Yes and Yes". Thanks so much for mentioning me as an inspiration, and so happy to have found you. I will be adding your to my style icons list on B. Jones Style.
Found your blog through beth, and loving it as well!! I absolutely love the yellow and red combo. YOu look fantastic!!

If I promise to snap pretty, professional photos of you, can we be bff's next week? Good, I was hoping you'd say yes.
..
What you thought that was ALL I was gonna say? I can't believe I haven't commented in MONTHS. WTF kind of blogging buddy, sequin standoff friend AM I?! A distracted one I tell you. Luckily for you, life is becoming manageable again which means you can expect more unbelievably witty, incredibly insightful and mind blowingly flattering comments from me. Stop dancing around, you're going to spill your bag of chips and diet coke.
Ps.. those glasses are sooo Terry. I'll wear them and use a too bright flash while I take your provocative near nakid photos in TX.
I just love this outfit. From the colors to the leopard print, everything about it is just so well put together. You look très chic!

Colour combos are so, so gorg! Glasses freakin' hot AND thank you for the photo compliments. I just might try shooting at home again, especially since Vancouver likes it's rain. Happy Friday, hun. xx veronika
I LOVE this outfit. I'm definitely a sucker on outfits that play with a lot of color, especially primaries! You definitely know how to rock a blazer :o)
This color combination is GORGEOUS. And I love love love these shoes.
HAHA, I always love reading your posts, you're funny! I LOVE the mustard/red/navy combo, so pretty! XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
What?!?! No frostbite couture for you?!?! The other burning question is why does everyone seem to have awesome red cords but me?!?
Oh my goodness! I LOVE this look the colors are like music/art to my ears/eyes.....if that remotely makes sense!!
