I think I'll try it on if I see it in San Fran. Hopefully I can carry it off and look cool for school...

or if I don't, I can always freelance a bit with a roadworks crew on the M25

At least it's not matching patterns or anything, it's just dark brown trousers with a dark brown jacket with some weird bright blue pattern on it. Actually thinking about it it is a bit horrible!

But then so were most of the other jackets I tried on and they were all 4 times the price. What I really want is a nice bright green or maybe red or blue or yellow (bright, all of them) jacket, with no stupid pattern (just one color all over please), that isn't lined, that has wrist gaiter things with thumb holes and thingies to attach the snow skirt to my trousers, and that doesn't cost too much. For some reason this seems to be far too hard to find.

I'd go the cheaper route and get something that looks alright and does the job.

Matching gear can work sometimes but you generally have to have the skills to pull it off. Although a friend of mine recently decided to join her family skiing trip for the first time ever after hearing me rave about another weeks boarding - but she went out and bought herself a "gorgeous pink tommy hilfiger onezii that was ONLY £400"!!!

So she's going now going to look twice as ridiculous when she's snow-ploughing down that green!

€259 apparently. I don't want it anymore!

Although at the moment my trousers and jacket match which really doesn't make me happy, I don't *do* matching! (But it was either keep wearing my old jacket which leaked, spend loads of money on something I didn't like much either, or spend C$80 on something that I didn't hate and did the job!).

How much is it? Personally I wouldn't wear it (I'm not good enough to pull it off) but each to their own!

It is very silly, I think that's why I kinda like it. Sometimes silly is good, especially if it involves bright yellow. If it's actually reflective I want oen!

I do actually quite like it for some reason
