Well, both Alissa and I are behind the ball, so we didn’t see the request for the theme to be self portrait this week until the last minute. That’s okay! We pulled it off!
I came home on Wednesday over lunch to take mine in front of our leaning pine tree. A few things about my picture:
– Well, first…you probably know what I look like by now, since I am not too shy about self portraits. So…here’s a non-close up picture showing our lovely snow.
– It was freakin’ cold outside. When I got in my car for my 7AM dentist appointment yesterday morning the temperature registered at 0 degrees. It was still freakin’ cold at noon. I am so over winter!
– I love this winter jacket. It is a orangish-red suede, but not to worry, the fur isn’t real. The faux fur makes it eco-friendly, correct? 😉 Brian bought it all by hisself for me for Christmas several years back. I still get ladies stopping me and asking where I bought it, and impress them with my husband’s taste in cool jackets.
– That tree?? I keep wondering when the next storm will come to take it out. That will be a sad day, since it is nice and big and blocks the traffic lights. It seems like every year it leans just a little bit more.
Okay, I think spring needs to come soon. I mean, even poor Alissa has snow! I am sure her kids love it since I know our kids don’t seem to realize it is cold outside. I can’t wait to be able to walk outside again without shivering. That would loads of fun. 🙂
Me too – I So agree!! I cannot wait until Spring comes. We’ve gotten the most snow in Philly’s history this season and another storm is supposed to come today. I posted a flower picture I shot last Spring to keep my mind off of the cold and look forward to this coming Spring.
I love that you both have snow shots! I want to see a closer up pic of your coat cuz I think I would love it too. That bright reddish against all that natural is just gorgeous.
I love that yours shows your awesome and unique sense of style and fashion!
I can’t believe you BOTH have snow. And am so sorry about those temps. You deserve warmer, you hearty upper midwest folks! We are on day three of pouring rain, but somehow it is 45 degrees and feels like spring, so I am NOT complaining!
We’re scrambling on our self portraits, too—hope to post later!
Brian did an excellent job picking out the coat. It totally looks like you. 🙂 Nice shot, I’d take some of the cold if I could and turn the would be rain we’re expecting to snow. I’m so tired of mud. So yes, spring would be very nice. Great combo, I like both the outside shots and the snow.
I love that both shots are snowy photos. It is so fun seeing what everyone comes up with this week.
What a coincidence that both of you took your shots outside. I totally thought people would have different ideas this week when it came to self portraits. Way to go for being in sync with your Dippy!
I love the leaning tree, it’s like it’s tilting it head for a picture. Awesome jacket, totally fits your personality. I like that you both took outside picture, great job!
yep, that snow does make me a little chilly, but what i like about these two shots is that it provides context for your self-portraits. gives them a time and a place that you’ll appreciate years from now looking through old photos. and yes, that jacket is killer!
Yeah…the fact that you both have snowy shots is very cool! And I’m with Mel, I want to see that fantastic coat up close! Good job, Hubs!!
I won’t tell you that I sat out on my patio this morning and had some coffee. It is a chilly 65 right now. 😉 Ok. I’ll stop talking…
oooooh, that coat!!!! I love it!!!! I want it!!!
Love that you gals are in sync with the snowy shots today!
interesting that you both have snow. the two photos look great together.
These are great – I love how similarly they turned out. And that is indeed quite the fabulous coat!
I love your coat! I just got a new red jacket and I thought of you when I saw it — it’s not quite as hip and fancy as yours, but I still love it!
