warm weatherrrrrrr

This is an easy to understand post if you live anywhere where your winter is longer than every other season and never seems to end. However, this past week NYC received a gift from mother nature and the weather was almost 60 on Friday PLUS I had the day off! With this I went and explored Chinatown, ate in Little Italy and enjoyed a night out on the town all while soaking up that vitamin D I was missing in my life. Saturday, thinking that this awesome weather would continue, I went to Soho to walk around. At first the day started off fab because I returned $63 worth of things I didn't need and I was lookin fresh (Insert first story at the bottom of how I know this). However, It ended up being SUPER cold towards the end of the day and then I just got super cranky because I was hungry didn't know where my train was and really cold. I hate that the weather does this! You see for me,  I feel as though I haven't been really living up exploring NYC while I'm here. Everyone keeps saying of it sounds like you're having a blast or everything looks so cool, but in reality I feel like I'm slacking at truly experiencing NYC because I'm so cold all of the time! I mean as I write this I am in a Borders about 6 streets from me (streets are shorter than avenue walking) but I had to must up all of my will to walk here and do hw (which I'm obviously not doing now) to come here. I am just ready for the weather to get nice again so I can roam around in the warm weather. I know you don't need warm weather, just a good attitude, but I HATE being cold. I'm so tempted to move south and get away from this weather but then more than half of my wardrobe would be useless and I don't have the kind of money (obviously if I'm returning things) to buy a whole new wardrobe, although it would be fun. So I hope that, that groundhog was not lying and this warm weather is coming otherwise I am not only going to get extremely sick from this weather flip-flopping, but I'm gonna get cranky. This is a "duh" post for all of you who live in the Snow Belt or cold areas, I just think the rest of the world needs to try to understand our pain, literally, the pain of wind burn on my face. "Why no, I my skin tone is not red, it is just from the windburn outside that likes to turn me into a tomato"

1.) Story from above. So at the Gap I had to return a shirt that i realize I didn't actually like (part of that 63 back) and I realize in line that I had forgotten my real recipte, instead I brought the "use this online and get take our survey" recipte. I was like, ohhh i hope they still will take this because I don't want to walk back! Well I was wearing my red, buff and green headband, a green shirt my big leopard print coat, jeans and moccasins, but I changed up my make up and did a bright red lip with very simple eyes, for all you males,  you don't care I know. But anyways I get to the front of the line finally and the lady at the cash register was awesome. She was like "Oh yeah we can just look you up and return that, Oh and that guy in front of you isn't he so cute, he is just so handsome (there was some guy who returned stuff ahead of me but I wasn't really paying attention). Oh and he's single, and he lives in the area, but that's all I can tell you" (picture a short little lady saying this with great inflection). I was laughing because she kept going on about how cute he was and how single he was. Anyway I'm laughing and go to leave and a guy that works there as I'm leaving says that he loves my outfit and that I look just so trendy right now. Well I'm obviously loving this so I just leave in a good mood loving the Gap and it's employees for being so fun. I go onward and these ladies on the subway comment on my lipstick and how much they love my make up and everything. Then I get to soho and a lady outside of some store compliments my headband and I tell her I made it myself! I seriously loved exploring that day and that is all that made exploring and going out worth it because the weather stunk. It was so fun, so compliment people because you could make their day! Seriously! DO IT! hahah

So in conclusion, What Liz Wants is warm weather and compliments from strangers, it's so fun! haha
