Winter Cottage Bound

LBD: Snow Edition

Happy Camper

Happy to be home, but feels like camping: so that makes me a Happy Camper! I'm currently really liking my graphic Ts. They are easy to wear and make getting dressed look effortless. I wore this look a couple weekends ago to, you guessed it, unpack and settle-in. Operation Nesting Phoenix is progressing slowly, but surely. It's a good mix of construction, unpacking and furniture shopping. There is plenty to keep me busy for sure! Seeing as this sweater was packed away during the winter, I decided to wear it! It is so comfy and has a nice weight to it. The eyelash detail is a cute touch that contributes to its cozy factor. My weekend uniform is my security blanket at this point. I know I can always look put together with a sweater, skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

TBT - Batting Lashes

I wore this blush pleated midi skirt a few years back. I love how it is high-waisted and allows for a bit of creativity with proportions. I paired it with a cropped black eyelash sweater and a cute little bow belt. I added some major bling and black boots to finish off the look. I love the balance of black and blush and the colour combination reminds me of my dancing days... The idea of styling my hair in a bun probably stemmed from that nostalgia. This outfit is a perfect example of how to wear pastels in the cooler months. Pairing them with black gives them that slightly more edgy feel without making them look out of place.

Spring-ing Forward

Don't forget to set forward your clocks today! When daylight savings begins, it's a sure sign that spring is here! I get excited whenever the seasons change, but I feel the transition from winter to spring is the most drastic, therefore makes me more giddy! I might have gotten a little carried away at the first sign of nice weather and reached for these bright printed shorts! It's obviously still too cold for shorts, so I decided to pair them with equally bright turquoise tights. Not wanting to go overboard, I opted to wear my white cropped eyelash sweater and fur-trimmed booties. I feel like this outfit hits the perfect notes between winter and spring!

Lush Winter Wonderland

Today, I'm embracing the cold winter palette! Whites, greys and blues mesh together well to give a harmonizing look. This little cropped eyelash sweater was one of my favourites last season, and I've only recently dug it out this year. I paired it with a white and grey gingham shirt and robin's egg blue jeans. I decided to add my marble necklace, which picks up on the colours and geometry of the shirt, but that stands out against the fluffiness of the sweater with its hard edges. I am a big proponent of wearing pastels in the winter. I find they echo the coolness of the weather, without being too harsh or vibrant against the sleeping outdoor scenery.
