chilly days ahead

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!

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
