I'm a Hawai'i girl, but I can't tell you how much I love love love the cold weather. I fell in love with it when I experienced my first Winter in Stuttgart, Germany. I can't explain the feeling I had when I noticed the cold rain turning into hardened drops of slush falling on my head, then after a minute of wonder looking at the sky, finding those slushy chunks (I could make into shaved ice with some strawberry li hing mui syrup... Mm mm), transform into light fluffy ice crystals - suddenly descending in slow motion, lightly landing on my face of discovery and excitement. If I close my eyes I can be transported back to that moment reliving every sensation. I marvel at the work of God when I think of that LIFE experience.
Thus my love for winter wear was born. I can be in Summer Hot Hawai'i or anywhere in the world and I will always have a winter jacket close by just in case. (I can hear my Filipino mother in my head right now asking, "where's your jacket?") You have to be Filipino to understand. Hah!
When the sun sets in Wai'anae - the Westside of Oahu, where I was raised, the nippy salty breeze takes over and I get to wear my fury friend again.😊 #syntheticfur #btw #winterweardontcare
