While many people gravitate towards dark clothing in the colder months, I like to wear lights & brights to contrast the dreary weather. I took colour cues from my favourite brightly patterned scarf and paired winter white with a pastel cardigan and vivid accessories. I wore this outfit on Saturday for an afternoon of shopping at a holiday craft show, enjoying peppermint hot chocolate at a local cafe and date night at "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" (adorable, highly recommended!)

I wish days were longer so that I could blog on a regular basis like before, but life has other plans for me. I'm still working full-time at Dress for Success Ottawa but have now added to that a part-time job at twiss & weber, designing a new website, taking a stylist course at QC Style Academy and thinking about starting a non-profit. Phew its busy over at Tinfoil Tiaras but I'm still finding minutes in the day to put together cute outfits- because there's always time for that!
What's your cold weather dressing style?
Glad to hear from you Emily! I'm glad things are going well - you look very cute in all of your layers and I love the bag! I would say my cold weather dressing style is similar, the more cozy layers the better! And lots of boots! Love the criss cross on the back of yours!
ReplyDeleteI like to wear bright colors in the winter too. It makes me happy and less grumpy about the gray skies.
ReplyDeleteEmily, is that you?! Did the aliens return you?? We've missed you.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should be bright and colorful in Winter. It elevates our mood. No need to dress as dreary as the weather.
Make sure you still have time to breathe!!
ReplyDeletewhatever comes to my mind.. and of course it has to be rather warm because Estonian weather is a bit cold :P for example I like faux fur coats and leggings too. when it comes to your bright and happy outfit my favourite part is the trio of your scarf, top and jacket. pink is always cute!

Oh girl you are BUSY! Congrats on the new P/T job :) And ooooooh a non-profit startup??
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're keeping busy Em!! Look forward to hearing about your endeavours and maybe we can squeeze in a get-together in the new year :) I gravitate towards some colour at this time of year, but of a different sort. I can't get enough of jewel tones like rubies, emerald or rich textures like velvet or faux fur. Your standard fare for any excited-for-the-holidays gal!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely someone who gravitates towards darker shades in the winter but i am trying ot get out of my rut for sure! you look lovely em!
ReplyDeletei tend to go for darker colours in the winter but I'm trying to break that habit. I'm liking the fushia/mustard combo, will have to try it :)
