Color Inspiration

You're wearing shorts? That must be nice. I wore four layers of clothing today. 

Despite dressing for the Arctic winds that blew through our neck of the woods, I was pleased to put together an ourfit around a color combination that I got from, wait for it...a bottle of wine. I'm not a 'wine' person per se (I prefer a Becks or a pink drink rimmed with sugar), but I love picking out new wines in the shop. I'm a label shopper. Whichever one catches my eye and is even remotely the right color (I don't care for reds), I will choose it.

Plus, this one said "cupcake" on it, and what could be better than that?




Sweater: Banana Republic (thrifted), Scarf: n/l (thrifted), Shirt: GAP Favorite Tee (which is, incidentally, my favorite kind of tee), Pants: Liz Claiborne (thrifted), Shoes: Keen
That last picture illustrates the correct way to stylishly chatter your teeth as you freeze because you forgot to wear gloves.

  2. Today was the FIRST day I didn't have to wear layer upon later in order to not freeze. Hello, May, please stay a while. Except the temperature is supposed to drop again tomorrow. Ugh.

    I love the pop of yellow. Even more fun that you match the bottle, haha. Also, the stripes are a definite win.

    That is a great sweater. With the pop of bright color I can picture the sun making an appearance :)

  4. I LOVE Cupcake wine, too! It's delicious. I'm really tired of the cold up here, too. But you look so cheery, despite the chill! I need to follow your lead and break out fun colors. Maybe we can entreat the sun if we dress for summer? Here's hoping!

  6. I love the yellow. If spring doesn't come to you, you can bring it to Canon, darn it! And, per the close-up picture in this post, I love your hair long.
