80 degree winter

So Los Angeles decided to be extremely annoying and provide at 80 degree Christmas season. I know those of you living in subzero and sub-freezing temperatures are probably offended that I claim this is annoying, but I'll put it this way: LA's climate is this warm half the year already without a hot winter, and I would appreciate some time for tights/pants/layers

. 

However, I can't complain all that much, and this warm weather has been a little bit of a blessing because I can wear this mid-sleeved Black Friday purchase from Zara without having to layer another coat or two on top. This whole get-up is almost inappropriately comfortable, but it was one of those days.

I'd been looking for a pair of sky-blue Converse for a really long time before I found these at the Rose Bowl Swap Meet. (FYI - I bargained them down $10 and was extremely proud of myself) I like the color because I don't see it around very much like I do white and cream but it has the same light, airy, and wearable-with-everything feel that both those colors have. Plus, in buying them at the swap meet I didn't have to worry about breaking them in or wearing them down a little before prancing around.
