Let It Snow

This outfit is simply comfortable. Men's retro wool slacks in a two-tone brown checked pattern paired with a cozy indigo blue sweater from Monterey Bay. Accessorized with a cowl scarf from Etsy and sturdy ankle boots from Barney's NY.

See the same sweater with some vamp in this post. 

Wild Winter

An orange ruffled blouse from The Limited gives pizazz to basic black trousers and an indigo blue cardigan from Monterey Bay. And the whole outfit gets vamped with leopard-print boots from Christian Louboutin and snazzy leopard-print earrings from Etsy. Who says winter can't be a little wild?

Like Bees To Honey

I adore this dress from Unique Vintage! It's so retro-chic with a houndstooth pattern, empire waist, and Peter Pan collar.

Breakfast At Tiffany's

Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

Just because the weather is overcast and dreary doesn't mean your clothes have to be! This hemp/cotton blend Dijon tee brings out the subtle golden-yellow pattern in the retro wool skirt, and a Merino wool cardigan with flared waist and bell sleeves adds a dainty touch to the outfit.

Poppies In October

In the poem "Poppies in October," Sylvia Plath expresses wonder at discovering poppies on a frost-heavy autumn morning. This outfit captures that same feeling with a ruched green blouse by Betty Jackson and a ruffled brown denim skirt with a splash of poppy red provided by the shoes.

With Miz Mooz "Tania" red slingback

And a delicate necklace with a poppy-like flower (from Etsy)

Conservatively Curvy

This combo is conservative enough for office wear, but it's still fun with the ultra-feminine cut of the pieces and the splash of purple. The jacket is from Viyella and the darted pencil skirt is Labour of Love.

With a conservative-yet-funky grey shoe from Kathryn Kerrigan

And a lovely matchy matchy necklace (from Etsy)

Archimedes Would Be Green With Envy

On the TV show thirtysomething, my favorite character was Melissa, the insecure rebellious artsy photographer. Melissa had a fantastic apartment and she wore an unforgettable winter coat that was emblazoned with numbers. When I saw this dress by Ischiko, I knew I just had to create an outfit. (Unbelievable as it may seem, this is a $300 dress!)

In looking for a jacket or sweater to add a splash of colour, I found this handknit bolero. Numbers and handknit? This outfit is an elementary school teachers dream.

As proof that anything can be found on Etsy, I present this necklace that incorporates the complete numbers/green theme.

And to complete the outfit, green shoes by Kathryn Kerrigan (which also, suspiciously, look like something an elementary school teacher might appreciate)

Prada Gets Hippy

This boho-chic outfit features a vibrant blue Arlanna blouse from Coast and an artistically wild Kaleidoscope skirt from Viyella.

With cork wedge sandals by Prada

And this very granola necklace (from Etsy)

Putting On The Glitz

This outfit is all about glitz and glam, with an elaborately embellished skirt from Adam + Eve and a Prussian blue top with fluid cowl neck, graceful bell sleeves, and a textured satiny sash (from ModCloth).  There's a subtle medieval air to this outfit, as well.

With Christian Louboutin "Eugenie" suede blue pumps

And this stunning choker (from Etsy)

Going With The Flow

I loved this purple "waterfall" blouse the moment I saw it on Coast. I thought it needed to be paired with a straight skirt or slim trouser to counterbalance it. Then I found this skirt on ModCloth, and when I put the two together, I saw that continuing the flow throughout the outfit was more cohesive.
