So what I didn't happen to mention yesterday is that it's been snowing on & off since I returned to NL Saturday night. This should offer you an explanation as to why my outfit is decidedly more Autumn appropriate than May Day wear. I probably should have included more florals or brights, but I was feeling a much more layered look with some rose & burgundy thrown into the mix. Nothing fancy, just something to keep me decently warm while running errands.
I was inspired to pull out my liquid leggings when I saw this look by Breanne of Flattery, worn in Sydney (though to be fair, it actually is Autumn there). This is actually the first time I've worn them in over a year. On the top I layered with a charcoal silk tee from Lush, burgundy cropped jumper from Urban Outfitters, & H&M rose striped poncho/cape/shawl/thingy; all purchases from last Autumn. I accessorized simply with a knit circle scarf from ASOS, Michael Kors Gold Chronograph watch & Michael Kors ballet flats.
I'll be returning to Vancouver in less than 2 weeks & I'm getting pretty excited. I'm coveting some real Spring weather, time to finally shop & build my Summer wardrobe, amazing vegan restaurants, the beach, lovely friends... I could go on forever, believe me.
I was wearing:
Rose striped cape/shawl - H&M (Autumn 2011)
Burgundy Jumper - Urban Outfitters (Autumn 2011)
Charcoal Silk Tee - Lush (old)
Liquid Leggings - Bootlegger (old)
Knit circle scarf - ASOS (old)
Gold Chronograph Watch - Michael Kors
Ballet Flats - Michael Kors
Simply the best! I could write a whole essay about this outfit but let's just say that I'm loving everyting about it :)<3

I love cool/cold weather haha, I genuinely don't feel comfortable anymore when it gets over 20 degrees celcius, 68 degrees fahrenheit! I just loving layering and love my knits too much! I love how you layered here by the way, it looks gorgeous and elegant and the colours go so well! I was looking at the H&M knit for a while but didn't get it and I am regretting it now, I love the way it hangs! xx

You layer very well. Even though you're pretty bundled up, you still look fashionable and extremely feminine. That's pretty hard to pull off with the color scheme you chose, so bravo! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd liquid leggings, huh? I really want desperately to be able to buy a pair and pull them off as you and the girl you linked have, but I really don't think I see that happening. :/ Hmm...the fact that I just doubted myself makes me really want to go out and get some now and figure out how I'd style them in my own fashion.. :)
Have a wonderful week!
love the cozy look!! you look so pretty!
