Christmas morning

So I went for a walk yesterday.  The news was depressing but the weather gorgeous, sunny and 80 degrees.  It was an occasion to wear an outfit I had found in a cute boutique in Paris, 50% off.  

It was the pants that first caught my eye.  The green, red, white checkered motif and the two embroidered suns felt like Christmas morning. I inspected them, taking in the soft tissue between my fingers but moved on. I could tell they were too big. 

Then came the shirt, white with a loud positive message in big red letters. Also too big.  

But what if, I thought to myself.  Could this work with those pants?  

I ended up buying the outfit.  I thought it would sit in my closet till next spring but yesterday the unseasonable warmth gifted me the chance.
