So the countdown begins, 3 days until michigan, and this has all inspired me to start shopping!! yay!! i have held off all summer knowing that buying summer clothes would be really dumb since i'm moving to winterland but now i can rationalize some new purchases. I just bought a duvet from pottery barn on clearance for 30 bucks!! can you believe that! It wasn't my top choice but when you're living on stipends you cannot be too choosey. I mean i was willing to pay like 100 for a duvet so i basically saved myself 70 dollars. woo! That one purchase gave me the shopping bug real bad.
anyways my question is this. For a long time now i have had really mixed feelings about the puffy vest. part of this though i think is that i am from california therefore wearing the puffy vest is kind of really stupid and useless and i am a little doubtful about vests in general. but in michigan the puffy vest might actually be cool if not functional. so like, should i explore the world of puffy vests? or is that a door that i should leave closed? I mean what is the point of a puffy vest really if your arms are not being insluted? does anyone know the answer to this???
Another question...is LL Bean like reputable and good quality? or is it like the east coast poor man's old navy? like this is a legit question because i don't think anyone in LA even knows what LL Bean is. Also should i explore the world of shearling boots, ie boots that have fur in them (not uggs) but like real winter weather boots with rubber bottoms and lambs wool popping out of the top? i kind of feel like i'm just seeing this move as an opportunity to buy a whole new wardrobe and i'm not realy seeing the ramifications of such weather. But it's like I can suddenly be as ridiculous as i've always kind of wanted to be, but that my sunfilled roots have prevented me from being. I'm talking fur and shit. like seriously hold me back, guys.

ok, here's some advice you can use
do NOT explore the world of puffy vests, they look ridiculous no matter where you live, and they are entirely non-functional. i can't eeeeemagine why you would pay for an unfinished clothing item. my father swears by them, but oddly enough he NEVER WEARS ONE! let that be proof that puffy vests are not practical or cool or fashionable.
LL Bean is good and reputable, and very durable as well as entirely functional and offers great value for the price (generally).
do NOT look into those ridiculous boots, unless they come with a prada tag or some shit like that. totally ugly, and totally unnecessary. the only winter boots you ever need to consider are from a company named Timberland, you may have heard of them. they make sturdy, durable, warm, water-proof, snow-proof, oil-proof boots that will have you singing their praises, too.
NO FUR! EVER! yes to riduculously large scarves with frills and crazy patterns and all that shit.
cool? cool
