LHdM and the Blustery Day

Holy shit!  Yesterday was ridiculously windy.  Here in my corner of the upper Midwest we were experiencing gusts of up to 50 miles per hour.  Skirts and wind don't mix so well, and I have little desire to flash students and colleagues, so I wore pants.¹

If you've been a long time reader of the blog, you will perhaps recall that I don't have the best relationship with pants.  It's difficult for me to find trousers that fit well, and because of where I tend to gain weight they don't always serve as very versatile pieces in my wardrobe.  In spite of our fraught relationship, I managed to find this pair of pants last week that fit pretty well and were within my budget.

All in all, this wasn't my favorite outfit ever, but I loved the color palette and the fact that I avoided the wind blowing up my skirt all blustery day long.  And that enabled me to make an ass out of myself in other ways....
