Lunch break

[christopher575]

I posted a couple of times during my lunchtime walk today, but they didn't make it.

First, I rode the elevator down with a couple of girls in awful parkas. I didn't notice until after I took this picture that another girl was wearing one across the street. She's to the right of what you can see here.



Then I found a leaf going all :D at me.

whats wrong with the parkas :( i have been hoping to buy a new coat and wouldnt have had a problem with the ones in the picture, if they were cheap...

Too many people wear them. Hang around downtown for five minutes and you will see 50.

The fur always looks gross and matted.

It doesn't get that cold here.

They're ugly.

just because youre not cold doesnt mean other people arent.

i agree about the fur though.


they might be kinda ugly (i guess? i dont see them that way, but i could see where someone would) but im not sure what a better alternative would be? i have a peacoat-ish style coat that im wearing now but its really not all weather. i want to get something that will be better for the really rainy/slushy/snowy days so that i dont end up all wet.


trying to think what a more fashionable alternative is. a puffy jacket? those are uglier to me because people either look like thugs or else like marshmallows in them. tell me what to get or else im going to get a parka. PARKA !!!!!

I think a better choice is something thin and warm and sporty. Think REI.

i really like the shape/style of this one but not thrilled with the color choices. also i would never spend $400 or even $200 for a coat like that. (i dont ski or anything so i dont need all those fancy extras.)


see what happens when you comment on fashion? i get a complex.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT CHRISTOPHER575 APPROVES OF MY FUTURE OUTERWEAR! OTHERWISE HE MIGHT MOBLOG NEGATIVELY ABOUT ME :(

The first one is super cute. You'd look like a super cute explorer.
