And not only is the weather (well, until today) suitable for shorts-wearin' (with properly mixed seasonal attire, of course), but it's also damn near-perfect for bicycling. Either my lungs can intake and process greater amounts of oxygen significantly more efficiently than they did in August, or it's just much easier to engage in physical activity when the weather isn't welding your sweet, shorts-adorned ass to a vintage bike seat.
To make a long story shortsss (HIYO!), I'm like, "this [weather] is smokin' balls tonight!" I love it.
I wasn't joking. I'm effing giddy.In fact, this weather is smoking so many balls that it's goaded my zygomaticus, orbicularis oculi, levator labii superioris, and several other facial muscles into a big, dopey -- dare I say, legitimate -- grin, opposed to my usual patented smirk of smug disdain.
Or maybe it's the two-dimensional, transparent objects scattered around me that are making me giddy. See, along with autumnal temperatures, I also love booze, toilet paper, radioactive warning signs and the fact that my mental age is apparently 14, which allows me to still find things like booze, toilet paper and radioactive warning signs amusing. Thank you Photobucket for allowing me to express my inner, immature badass, albeit a badass who just visited Chernobyl, has a substance abuse problem and likes spicy foods (gross). But seriously, I look f*cking cool.
And by "f*cking cool," I clearly mean I look like I'm missing an arm. Honestly, I have no idea where my left arm disappeared to in this photo. I'm assuming it's behind my back. Doing what? I don't know, but I'm 100 percent 50/50 that my arm didn't just fall off and reattach itself between the time I took that photo and now, especially since I just used the digits on my left hand to type out the letters "e" "t" "r" and "s" in the word "letters." See?! I did it again! But I suppose, stranger things (may) have happened...
Speaking of strange, I also look like I suddenly have a pretty bad case of scoliosis in this photo. (Dammit! Who took this?!) Oops! I mean a pretty badass case, of course. That's right, because spine alignment issues, much like missing appendages, are badass. (Just go with it.)
Well, if nothing else, at least I'm wielding a sweet firearm. OK, a two-dimensional e-firearm, but admit it -- I had you fooled for a second, right? No? God, I'm retarded.
Outfit details: Sweater -- Kenneth Cole; Shorts -- DIY vintage cut-offs; Boots -- Steven by Steve Madden; Bag -- Pietro Alessandro. And to be clear, for the sake of my own ego, those are earphones I'm wearing and not a Bluetooth.

It was 37 degrees this morning on my ride to work, and surprisingly, with pants, long sleeve shirt, windbreaker jacket, gloves and a ear cover thingy, I was sweating.
I don't think that's nowhere overdressed for almost freezing temperatures which gives me hope that I'll keep it up through the winter, since the cold, once you're moving, it's really no big deal.
Beats freezing my ass off while standing outside waiting for the bus!
It also looks like the ghost of shorts-wearing past is hiding out from the gun in your bag ... or is that just the gleam off the gun metal...
beach bum
Very true. I find myself rolling up my sleeves a lot, or untwirling scarves, while passing people in full winter gear and gloves. It's bizarre.

It's magic is what it is!
I am a native of New England, where we know crappy winter weather when we see it. Today's weather anyway, quite frankly, totally sucks ass. Either it's really cold out, the kind of cold where it would feel warmer if the temps fell 10 more degrees so the rain would turn into snow, or I am a wuss. Hopefully the former.
Yeah, the winter running clothes come out tomorrow night.
Summer lasted until last Sunday.
