🥶 I can confirm that it was, very much indeed, cold, even more so than it looks.
🌊 But most definitely worth it!
Layers, many layers were worn.
This new years’ fashion look appears to be along the lines of a “mini multicoloured Michelin Man”.🧣🧦🧥🧤

Had planned to do this yesterday,
Then yesterday evening,
Then saw this & was glad I didn’t.

However… I think my Alexa’s broken - I’ve asked her twice since returning home from a day with a friend today, & all of the decs are exactly where they were this morning.
I don’t understand! 🤔😭🤪
