Just because its winter doesn't mean that we all have to dress ourselves in dark colors, especially in our choice of outerwear. When skies are gray, then color goes a long way. It makes people feel better and may even help warm us up.
I bought this orange coat on sale at Etcetera Thrift Store in North Cape May at the end of last summer. It was on sale and I paid $3.50 for it. Shopping for any kind of clothing off season is always a good idea. You can get some great deals. The tights are from American Apparel and yes, they DO come like that! I scored this bag last week at the Goodwill. Its actually official "Cirque du Soleil" merchandise. I didn't even know there was such a thing. It has pockets galore - maybe a tiny dancer will pop out of one of them!
As you may know, after having lived in NYC for 35 years I have been living in a very suburban area of Cape May, NJ for the last 3 years. These are the decorations that I chose to put in my front yard garden. One of my neighbors asked me if I was going to "leave the red chair there" and the local librarian asked me if I lived in the "house with the truck." I said "No, we don't have a truck," and she said "Yes you do, the yellow one." I found out then that we live in a very small town. Last year, someone even asked me if I was the lady walking down the street in town with one orange leg and one yellow. By now, however, many people know me and I am happy to report that they totally embrace my eccentricities. So I have also discovered that a small town can be a very good place to live!
