for the sake of fashion

snowing again. still.

dressed in layers of clothing. matching snow suit, hat, scarf, mittens and boots. arms sticking out horizontally like a mummy to go to school ... is how a six-year-old described the winter experience.

later refusing to wear much of the winter attire. the mittens did not match the outfit and more so interfered with pressing the play buttons on the diskman. wearing a hat would mess up the hair. and surely wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a scarf. boots were tossed to the back of the closet. runners were well worth the risk of potentially falling down.

the trend has not changed very much. technology has given way to the ipod. apparently, not cold enough to rest the hoodie for a winter jacket. shoes have replaced the runners. gloves come out now and then ... .
