Vintage Coat $2. Thrifted Peasant Patchwork Vest.Speckled Brown Knit Top gifted by my friend Squeezy Peters, F21 Pompom and bead necklaces, Union Brown Corduroy, Nine West BootsNot a whole lot of people will get my title except for my closest friends, Bevlee and Kreth. Daidaiiro is Japanese for the color orange. Zukin is Japanese for hood. Xoxo, pronounced Chu-Chu is my childhood and still-is nickname. The title is a play off a bizarre anime the three of us were nuts about. Akazukin Chacha meaning Red-Hood Chacha.

I tell no lies when I tell you I bought that coat for $2.00 at a flea market in Soho, NY. It's hardly warm though. I guess it's just for looks. I'm feeling a little bit gypsy today because the necklaces have bells on them. Can't really sneak on anybody.
Trying to lose the holiday weight from past two Christmases. Hah! We still have our Christmas tree. I'm not a Catholic but Thad is, although he rarely goes to church. We normally take our tree down after the Feast of Three Kings which was yesterday. I need to put it away now. I'm going to have the sads when I do.
