chilly days ahead

Pants- H&M; Blouse- Joe Fresh (Swapped); Cardigan- J Crew (Swapped); Shoes- DIY; Ring- Boutique in Hawaii; Nail Polish-Perfect Plum by Sally Hansen



I'm linking up to two birds' Inspiration Monday challenge on a Tuesday since I showcased Halloween costumes on yesterday's post (I'm glad no one was offended by my man's costume- I thought it might be a tad risqué for the blog!) Beautiful actress Jamie King is the celebrity to be today.  I was drawn to her bright pants and patterned top and decided to draw from that look with pieces I have recently swapped and my go-to pair of coral pants (worn here and here).  It's starting to get chilly here in Ottawa, I spent the weekend washing scarves and substituting my summer wardrobe for my winter one (it's always fun to stumble across forgotten cold weather clothing in the process!) I'm not a fan of Ottawa's brisk temperatures to say the least and as the majority of my work is currently from home I foresee a long winter of condo hibernation!

    These are your awesome DIY flats! I like your inspiration better. Navy and coral is such a pretty color combo. Those coral pants make my heart swoon, lol :) Heather

    How CUTE are you! I love those coral pants. I always thought coral was a great color and love the gingham top! And your glittery blue flats add that extra sparkle. You look CUTE! LOVE IT! Hope you're having a great day. :D

    Ah, I LOVE your take! I would wear those coral pants as much as you do, girl! Also really love the subtle sparkle in your flats and that gorgeous burgundy nail color you are wearing!

    I hope you can participate in my new inspiration link-up, it is open until Sunday! :)

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
