Seasonal

Ahh, fall in west Michigan. The leaves are starting to change, the geese are migrating, the air is crisp, and the long quest to stay warm and dry in foul weather has begun. The transition from warm weather to freezing is very short here. Cute fall jackets and skirts with boots? Yeah, you can wear those items for about 3 days before having to switch to a coat and many, many layers. And the freezing weather sticks around till the end of March. Oh well, it is a good thing I like snow. 

But what I don't understand is when I see people (usually, but not always girls) bundled up, complete with hat, scarf, gloves, jacket, pants, and looking rather cozy, except for the sandals on their feet. And I see this a lot. It is almost like an insult to nature. And fashion. Like wearing Uggs with shorts (or wearing Uggs at all). But seriously people, You are going to bundle your body up but leave your feet quite literally, out in the cold? And it hasn't been just cold, it has been rainy too. You can't really expect to go long in west Michigan without some precipitation. 

I just hope that these people wise up and start wearing some proper fall shoes.
