Since the heat went out at my sister’s house after a big, bad hail-storm, Je have been looking for certain warm, comfortable, little luxuries. A fur lining for my silk house jacket, wool-lined moccasins, and an entire collection of comfy cashmere t-shirts are in that list. Because the cashmere t-shirts are for wearing under house-sweaters, they must be used and cheap. Rummaging in Boston’s shops, what do you think je find? The three cashmere tees that any girl would need. Here is one of them over that super soft, stretchy Theory tee.

It’s such a perfect day for a tomboy look. It was cold and snowy and there were practically no side walks. Hahaha. Yes, so je offset the tomboy look with rouge lips and a few coats of mascara.

Good things always come out of days like this. Since my really cool friends to let me crash at their place for a few days, Je thanked them by getting some groceries and making dinner. The bus ride was really cool. Je met this visiting researcher, a young Mr. S., who came from the north of Dublin, Ireland. It was funny that all moi could remember were Heinrik Ibsen’s works and scenes from “The Beauty Queen of Leenane”. Lol. At some point we were talking about research and S. asked, “Have you got a long ways ahead of you?”. Je paused and thought deeply. Then, with a quizzical look, “Do you mean in life?”. The young Mr. S. paused, “No, i mean in the bus.”

Je suis off to a romantic dinner with my two girl friends. Muah.

The time has come to leave Cambridge for a few months. As mentioned in the earlier post, the challenge was to fit two week’s worth of Nashville winter outfits into a regular backpack along with my laptop, gadgets, writing supplies, food, and water. Lol. And I’m serious.

I will be meeting tons of potential roommates, where first impressions will be huge. I will be walking to all the potential apartments and houses and I will be moving out of my old dorm and into my new apartment. By myself. The outfits have to be presentable, portray my character, worthy of a first-impression, but also super comfortable for all the walking and heavy lifting. But remember Je have no laundry facility yet but have to stay fresh and polished for all the interviews.

The inspiration board was a huge help in choosing a total of 8 pieces of clothing and a small handful of accessories. That includes what I will be wearing on my way there as well as outerwear.

Ancient motherly wisdom tells you time and again that, if the sky rains lemons on you, learn to make lemonade. Oh yes? What do you do if the sky just pours cold water and a ringing cold on you? Seriously, bottle it and sell it to supermarkets?

Well, for some of us it means wear sunglasses, a 1$ hat and head to the supermarket to buy lots of colorful fruits!

plan on bringing them back to Nashville and wearing them by day with a thin t-shirt or a men’s white shirt and beat up denim jacket. Yes, wearing these by day and in an everyday way may sound eccentric. Most people already think that of moi and some might find that eccentricity well established. Then let the fun begin!
