neutrals {brown & cognac}

Skirt (worn like this -check out how blonde my hair was!)-Old Navy; Blouse (worn like this) & Boots-Thrifted; Ring-Zellers

It feels like just yesterday that I was lying on Hawaiian beaches and enjoying Mai Tais poolside but alas winter has officially arrived in Ottawa and let me tell you I don't like it one bit!  Sure I love the festive season and snow has its moments but as far as the bone chilling cold, let's just say the hibernation of Tinfoil Tiaras has offically begun!

{Fun fact: Ottawa is the 7th coldest capital city in the world (#1 is Ulaan-Baatar, Mongolia and #2 is Astana, Kazakhstan).  Not that I'm bitter or anything- just bitterly cold!}

{It doesn't look like it in this picture but the flowers on the blouse are brown, very similar to the skirt colour! P.S. Yes I do own an iron, no I don't use it!}

{I love these boots but can't wear them outside in the winter because the sidewalk salt stains them, no matter how many fabric protectors I apply!}

{Trying out a new pose-something the models at work do in photoshoots. Let's just say I should definitely keep my day job...}

Dress-Swapped (worn like this); Cardigan (worn like this), Earrings & Heels-Thrifted

{I'm finally linking up to Thursdays are for Thrifters on the actual Thursday!}

{I didn't actually venture outside with bare legs and sparkly heels, I wore a more practical uniform of tights and boots but this looked prettier so this is what got photographed! Just think of it as my creative control!}

Do you live in a cold city? Do you enjoy spending time outdoors in the winter or would you prefer to stay snuggled up in bed with a good book and mug of hot chocolate? 

(Not that I've ever done that but it sounds like a nice way to spend a cold day!)
