colour>cold

Skirt-Hurley (Swapped); Blouse (worn like this)- Gap (Swapped); Vest- Smart Set; Scarf (worn like this)- Thrifted; Boots- Spring; Earrings & Bracelets- Gifted; Nail Polish- Blue my Mind by Rimmel

You're probably wondering why my photos are taken in my dingy parking garage instead of by the Canadian fall foliage.  Well as nice as gaining an extra hour of sleep was, the problem with daylight savings is that it's now dark before dinner time.  This means that you'll probably see more indoor photos over the next few months so my apologies in advance! I wore this outfit on Sunday for my niece's 1 year Birthday party, followed by a movie with friends.  I wanted to wear something that was fun, colourful and layered. 
My winter philosophy= colour >cold



I'm a huge fan of scarves so when Tammy asked me to participate in her Trending through the Decades:Scarf Edition I couldn't resist.  I decided to wear this thick burgundy scarf to tie in the colours of the skirt.  I have so many scarves I needed to move my summer scaves into storage so I have more room for my cosy versions!

    I really need to try the shorts and tights thing. You are rocking this look and those boots are great too! What a pretty scarf, it does tie everything together :) Heather

    Very cute. You're a fashion-icon to me. Except I'd want to live somewhere warmer. :)

    I don't think that skirt could be any cuter. I love how you paired it with the blue vest. You look amazing.

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
