I happen to think that I'm pretty cute. I wouldn't necessarily qualify for America's Next Top Model, unless they had a miniature version, but I've been known to turn a few heads now and then.... Make a couple cars put on brakes a little too hard with my bootyliciousness.....
But what became utterly obvious to me this season is that I am not "Winter Cute".......
Working in downtown Chicago, I have the privilege (sometimes the horror) of running into all types of people. Maybe you've seen this "chic" before too:
Fabulous hair, not a strand out of place....How do you know? 'Cause she ain't got no type of hat on!!!
Flawless make up....... Why?? 'Cause she's wearing the daintiest little scarf tied ever so effortlessly around her neck.
Cute little coat, with her cute little Isotoner gloves.......
And OMG!!!! Don't get me started on her shoes......4 inch heels!!!!
Are you freakin' kidding me??? I'm like, "This heffa gotta be cold!!! It's Chicago.... It's 22 below and I'm cold just looking at you!"
Not the kid Blog-land!!!
It might seem like it's spring in my head AT work....and my co-workers can attest to that....but you better believe I DRESS like I believe it's winter in Chicago when I leave the house!
My hair.....NOT FLAWLESS!!! It's in a pony tail! Why?! 'Cause whatever I WOULD do to my hair would be attacked by my hat! Hat hair is unavoidable people!! Unless you have the funds for braids or weaves. By all means.....it ain't trickin' if you got it.... but I got better plans for that 200 bucks!!
Makeup? Maybe..... But YOU wouldn't know it because my scarf is wrapped around me so tight all you get is a peep at my fogged up glasses.......
Heels? Are you kidding??? You must be 3 grapes short of a bunch!! I don't know how Ms. Winter Cute does it!! I keep thinking to myself, "Self!!! Maybe she's immune to ice and snow..... Maybe she's got this fancy little hoovering device in them 4 inch heels that let her just float right on over that ice patch we just skated on....."
My prayer every winter is: Dear Jesus, If you keep me on my feet, I will keep you on yours!
So far....so good!!
Anyway...... if you see a little chocolate hump on the Green Line train with feet, glasses and a gym bag.....that's probably me.....
Not winter cute at all!!!!

I was thinking that same thing yesterday when I was downtown...tall black boots, thin wool coat and little scarf- not me!
I must say me-shell-a...this is gonna be quite interesting :)
"I will not share my fries :)"
I thought it was just me who had these winter thoughts. This is the reason I'm not fond of winter weather...because I can't look cute for trying to stay warm and fracture-free. I wasn't taught how to walk on ice in stilettos but I was taught how keep my feet warm by wrapping my socked feet in some plastic Jewel bags before donning my heavy snow boots. "...3 grapes short of a bunch." Classic! =)
I absolutely love this one!
