Frühlingszeit



Sunshine, melting snow, Camera Obscura, Springtime: Pretty much the main things which influenced this outfit of mine from yesterday. It made for the perfect opportunity to wear my new orange batwing jumper c/o OASAP which I received last week. I was looking for some interesting contrasts so I paired it with blues & red. You've seen these blue pleated palazzo pants once before (here), but I have to say it again: these are so much fun. Especially on a windy day like yesterday; they're blowing every which way & I can't help but smile over them. Definitely need to find a second pair of these soon. 


Despite the fact that our house is still in the heart of winter, I wore my peep-toe Foxy platforms; deeming it safer uptown where there was significantly less snow. Accessory-wise I wore 2 vintage necklaces + red rosette stud earrings passed down from my Grandmother, & a printed navy clutch with wooden handle. I bought this clutch when I was fifteen for $5 at Old Navy... & this is actually the first time I've ever used it believe it or not. I'm not quite sure how to describe, or sum up the outfit style, but I can tell you I loved it. Definitely put me in the mood for Springtime/Frühlingszeit (been working on my German all week; my head is a mess of vocabulary & a headache of foreign pronunciations)!


As lovely as yesterday's brilliant sunshine was, it was not exactly conducive to great photography. So while it looks like I did godawful things with the saturation/exposure, seriously just blame the sun (what you see is unedited; fixing these was beyond my skill haha). And if you're wondering why I look cold, it's because I was cold freezing. Wish I could teleport to a warmer climate right about now! One more month...

Just me & all my plain jane glory


As promised, here is my first look of 2012! 

First things first - I love this outfit to pieces; even in spite of second inspection flaws like the forgotten hair elastic on my wrist, my hair in all it's natural frizzy glory, & the fact that my shirt is much bigger on me than I initially thought. Those pesky details aside, I'm pretty delighted. I've always been a fan of green & blue combinations & am so pleased with this new top. The pleated blue palazzo pants were acquired from ASOS last summer, but this is only the second time I've worn them. From the pure fun factor I got out of these yesterday you can be sure to see them again at some point! As for the fact that I'm wearing a t-shirt in January - that is the beauty of 'winter' in Vancouver :) 

Oh and last but not least, the post title is in reference to the song that't been stuck in my head all week - take a listen!
