Foxy Mountaineer

As I asserted during my recent Hobby presentation: if it’s under $20 and it’s got an animal on it, it’s coming home with me.

I like my outfits to be functionally practical, so I cringed a little pairing shorts with a sweater… Are you hot or are you cold? Make up your mind already! But I like how this combo makes me look like I’m ready to traverse the Swiss Alps, and as far as I’m concerned, anything that reminds me of my friend SwissMiss is a good thing.

Don’t worry, Casson, I promise to label this one “rural wear only.” (Casson is my lovely friend who thinks it’s the height of silliness to wear shorts in the city. She’s also the drummer in my band.)
