Snow Ninja

Snown2 As we speak, the snow has melted and the skies are once again blue but it doesn't mean that the snow ninja didn't have to come out in force because Urban Nomads are quite feeble and a little bit of snowfall can be quite frightening.  So a Snow Ninja armour collective came out to play, and hopefully it will be the last time of 2008...

We have the mighty trio of the wooly hat, the power of two scarves (vintage and Nom D) knotted together and some leather fur trimmed gloves (again, vintage). Not only a jumper but a cardigan as well, a grey tulle tiered top that adds another layer for the final piece of armour to go over, in the shape of a Preen halterneck top with a handy pleated breastplate.  The Clare Tough knitted skirt is suitably chunky and though you can't see, it has a gold chain waistband for extra protection and though the black lame leggings have lost its sheen a bit, they're still serving well.  For extra binding, a grey zip trim is around the waist.  Finally a ninja should never be without some shiny black patent boots. 

Of course, after the snow ninja's work is done (work being having some hot and sour noodles in Chinatown and picking up some fash mags....) and she returns home to find that it is sunny again and the green is showing through, a slick of red lippie reminds her that the armour can be done away with to make room for some colour.
