What I Wore: Frozen Over

What I Wore: Sweater (Zara's), Shirt (Popbasic; Similar Here), Jeans (Lucky Brand), Boots (Similar Here), Necklace (Similar Here)

....And after a week in sunny California, it was back to this. I think the high the day we got back was supposed to be nine, and that turned out to be wishful thinking. Instead, it never even cracked zero that day. Oddly enough though, most of this outfit originates from California. The silk shirt is, of course, this one from Popbasic, but the jeans and the sweater were both purchases from this most recent trip. A sweater is a little like brining the warmer temperatures with you, right?

Well, I guess as compensation, snow and even ice can look pretty from time to time- such as here. The reservoir has begun to freeze over. The cool blues, cold temperatures, and silence set an eerie tone; to counteract it was the rich but subtle color story of this outfit. I'm in love! The deep tones make me feel cozy instead of cold. Along with drinking tea and read mystery novels: It's the ultimate cozy situation.

What are your "remedies" for fighting the winter blues?

I do so adore those boots.

A bit of weather shock!

I still applaud you for taking photos outside. I'm too much of a wimp.

I love the layers and textures here. The plaid on top is perfect. Gorgeous necklace, too! Love that vibrant lip color, also!

I usually count on a lot of mashed potatoes, netflix, and the promise of sun to get me through the winter. But mostly netflix. I've never binged-watched so many TV shows as I have this winter. XD

I love the contrast of your vibrant lip color against the somber tones of your outfit! That necklace is perfection. <3

love,

My remedy for the winter blues was moving to a place where winter means sunny and 60s :) But it does make for gorgeous backdrops, love these photos! These boots are the epitome of perfect boots!

Oh, I love the sleeve detail on that sweater! That is totally needed in weather of this kind. The color is wonderful too and looks divine with the blue blouse. My favorite part of this outfit is the boots though, they are rugged but pretty and such a contrast with that gorgeous fancy necklace!
