Prints in the winter?
As much as I get creative with beads and accessories, prints usually jazz up an outfit without trying too hard. In the winter however, it’s difficult and so I was glad to find something somewhat acceptable…

The jeans: Previously posted dark wash trouser jeans from my last birthday with a double button, patch kind of front closure.
The top: I layered a beautiful ruffle georgette-lace-jersey tank top under a cardigan which has a lace like print on it. I usually avoid lace prints like the plague but I didn’t mind this one too much and have since bought an entire dress in a similar vein. I like the pink and since its set against an off white/cream its not too doily-ish for me.

I ADORE ruffles and super girly details but I usually would not be caught dead in a top like this on its own, mostly because of the all lace back, and at first was at a loss as to how to wear it. Then I remembered that I should OBVIOUSLY layer it with a thin cami. DUH.

The boots: After much much MUCH searching for a decent heeled ankle boot I bought these gorgeous grey/brown wedged boots. I DO NOT like wedge boots and at first would not buy them purely for that reason, but they look SO GOOD and you cannot beat the comfort of a wedge heel – compared to other heels of course.

Accessories: I wore a simple sliver chain with a round quartz stone and these chrysanthemum like silver ear-rings.
Done and done. Nice outfit for a semi-cold day.

Style-wise, I don’t like winter for that same reason. The clothes, as good as they look on the runways, just don’t excite me. This is not half bad though.

Aparna- Lace top is from a store called Costa Blanca here in Canada. They used to be my favourite up until a few months ago..but H&M has been so consistently awesome this past season, they’ve taken over BIG TIME!
@inopiate- I’ve been trying to jazz up winter things with pops of colour and texture if print is unavailable.
