Whatever would entice me to dress entirely in shades of white and tan and head out to the currently slushy streets of this city?  A post on my interpretation of ‘winter white’, of course.  This outfit is a complete contrast to my normal winter uniform of darker colours and I really enjoy how it provides a blank canvas, so to speak - it makes it easy to keep the focus on the fur and metallic gold accessories and a colourful lip.  To keep it interesting I chose each piece in a different texture: fur, wool, denim, suede, and leather.  You may or may not be able to see from the expression in these pictures but today was a bitterly cold and windy day and immediately following this I headed home and layered on some thermals and cuddled up under a blanket to catch up on some episodes of Happy Endings.

baby, it's cold outside

With the unseasonably warm temperatures we've been experiencing over the last few weeks I almost had myself fooled into believing winter had been postponed.  This week, however, a cold and snowy weather blast quickly brought me back to reality.  At this time of the year I’m still early in the 'enjoying snow and it's beauty' phase.  For me the world never feels more peaceful than when snow keeps people off the roads and snowflakes are floating down in front of street lights at night.  Talk to me in March when I’m complaining about salt stained boots, walking in slush, and perma-cold feet.

But right now, it’s beautiful.

This is what I wore on a cold walk in the park with my love (after which we quickly went off to get hot beverages to warm our hands)!  

Have a great weekend!
