Yes I am still alive! The spirit of the Olympic games has captured me and I’ve done nothing but walk around downtown Vancouver absorbing the chaos of national pride during the past couple of weeks. Which is a good thing because I’ve since lost 2 pounds from all the walking!
Two nights ago I watched the Ice Dancing finals and witnessed history in the making as Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir stood center stage and took the gold, the first for Canada in the Ice Dancing category. In moments like these, one can’t help but feel wonder and joy! It is also a moment so inspirational that I now want to be a figure skater! Last week after watching Alex Bilodeau win gold, I wanted to be a moguls skiier, but that has since changed! And perhaps this ice skating obsession won’t last long either, but as of right now I am set on purchasing a new pair of ice skates and hoping to hit the arena this weekend! :)
In the world of What I Wore, I haven’t been taking very many outfit photos because all I’ve been wearing for the past two weeks has been Team Canada apparel. It consists of a red & black toque, red sweater, red scarf, red mittens, jean skirt, black tights, black leg warmers and Converse shoes – the staple attire of Team Canada. And this may sound crazy but I am not the only one lurking the streets of Vancouer with this outfit! If you were to look down Robson Street, you would see a sea of red clothing! Whether it is an official Team Canada hockey jersey, or a Canadian flag hanging like a cape, everyone is wearing red! It’s quite surreal.
And this just in, Canada won 4 medals today! :)
