Hello again and Happy Monday.   I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  The mister and I finally went to see The Hobbit.  Unlike pre-movie preparation for The Lord of the Rings, I had not read The Hobbit.  Even so, I had a clear understanding of what was happening in the movie.  It was a little long for my liking...anything over two hours and I get a little fidgety, but it was a good movie.  I can't say I enjoyed it as much as LOTR, but it still holds some of the same magic.  As always, I imagine myself living in a Hobbit house with it's round oak doors, and cozy reading nooks...and those first glimpses of Rivendell take my breath away.  Yes, there is a lot of terror and fighting, but, save for one moment, I didn't have to put my head in my sleeve.  If I were comparing The Hobbit with The Lord of the Rings I would say that LOTR had more adventure and suspense to it.  My friends who know me well would remind me that I was more than a little smitten with Aragorn in LOTR, and as such any review would be biased in favour of LOTR.  They would be right.  {Sigh}

Okay, about this outfit.  As you can see, I'm still mad about my cat vest, and have been sporting my fur every chance I get.  If you haven't checked out my original post, you can see it here.   This weekend I was quite ready to lighten up my colour palette.  We may only be half way through winter, but I feel 100% ready for spring.   So I paired my aqua tights, scarf, and tank with some neutrals and away I went.   Though I felt really comfortable in this outfit, I will definitely rethink wearing it again.  When I was reviewing the photographs, I found my proportions disturbingly similar to that of a hobbit's. Yup, minus the big, hairy feet and slightly pointed ears, I was most certainly displaying the height and the girth of our well loved little friends.  So, either I need to nix the lace socks with oxfords, or wear different footwear, or maybe a different top, or more sparkle...oh I don't know.   Let's say the outfit was bliss for a day and leave it at that.
