Winter where?

This year, I REFUSED to bow down to the fashion oppression winter always brings with it. It also helped that we have had an easy and somewhat delayed winter, allowing me to fall in love with, buy and wear way too many sweater dresses…

This was taken some time in early December…I wish I had a better picture…

The jeans: Trusty dark wash skinny jeans. Warmer than tights and provided the right amount of thickness to play off the dress.

The dress: A lovely little cream knit mini-dress with cap sleeves and a nice tab button detail on the collar in a gun metal colour which then allowed me to layer with a thin dark grey sweater with billowy sleeves. What the dress lacks in print, I think it makes up for in texture and weave, adding visual interest and fun. I think  this dress will also easily transition into spring with a nice pair of tights.

The shoes: New favourite wedge heeled boots!

Accessories: I think I just left in the usual silver but I did throw on this gorgeous purple, military inspired, wool coat that I bought for an absolute STEAL at H&M:

For the mild weather we were having, it was nice and cozy – lined in a self coloured, striped satin and its a brilliant addition to my coat collection. If you must cover up every lovely outfit with a coat, it might as well be an interesting one, no?

All in all, this was fun!
