Lately, the temperatures are so low that the morning frost lingers lay into the day and sometimes never dissipates at all. Although we don't have a snow-covered region, we clearly still have a bit of white wonderland around us some days.
This outfit is precisely how I like to wear color in winter. I'm still donning several bold colors, but they're in splashes and accents, making me feel rather season appropriate (whatever that is). The dress is rather new and quite cool; unfortunately I was too cold to shed my jacket to show you the details. I'm not a big fan of the color purple, but this type of color saturation catches my eye every time.
How amusing is this little foaming mug brooch I'm borrowing from Market Publique? When my sister saw it she asked me if I was headed to a beer garden...

cutest outfit ever.
ReplyDeleteI second Melanie C.! What kind of nail polish (or lacquer, varnish)is that? It fits your outfit so well!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a beautiful backdrop to take photos against. I loooove your socks!! Hope you're having a fabulous 2010 so far :)
ReplyDeleteI love your over the knee socks. Bold blocks of color are great in winter with everything so gray or white around. I like the way you worked in accents of color to set off the purple dress.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is so sharp for the image. Purple on ladies is always attractive!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!

I got boots like that yesterday! I love the way your "splash of colors" pops out in your frozen surroundings. [:
ReplyDeleteyour purple dress looks great against the frosty background :] xxx

These are beautiful pictures! Love the setting... And such a cute outfit! (it remind me of a similar purple skirt I recently purchase and never wear... Thank you for the inspiration!)
ReplyDelete-Coco from Our Paper Moon
wow! i remember last year we had an ice storm like that. its so pretty, but dangerous. Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteFrost is so beautiful. I love the colors you picked out for your outfit. When color is lacking from the scenery it's time to add it to the wardrobe (If only I could get out of the white, black, grey shades).
ReplyDeleteVery season appropriate, I have trouble with that a lot of the time. Luckily I don't live anywhere near the snow. I really like the purple on you
ReplyDeletesweet
ReplyDeletelady, you look lovely in a braid.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, I love braids.
ReplyDeleteAnd your socks/tights/shoes combo look neat.
I love your outfit! And that Beer mug is too cute. xx Claire
ReplyDeleteThe color combination with those tights and the purple skirt is just perfect. Such a fun frosty winter outfit.
ReplyDeleteThose socks are the coolest thing ever! I wish the frost would stick around up here.
ReplyDeleteBrrrr frost but no snow? Sounds like winter in southern China... I love how you layer your socks and tights! that brooch is pretty cute, and this is a non-alcohol drinker speaking. xD
ReplyDeletevery nice..love your Outfit.. :)
ReplyDeleteThe splashes of colour of awesome. All the hues go so well with your hair colour :)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit. The colour of the purple is really pretty and I love your socks.

I'm wearing braids right now too :) and I love your boots!
ReplyDeleteI love the layered knee shocks and the frost might be cold, but they make beautiful photos! I really love that shot of the frosty leaf and your cool blue nail polish!
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos, and awesome outfit! I am in love with those socks.
ReplyDeleteThose OTK socks are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteBecause of computer issues, this is a belated response to your last post combined with a comment for this post...
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you what an amazing source of inspiration you are for me, especially since I am a fairly new blogger. Your photos, your styling, and your concepts have left me feeling awed by what you do. You are truly gifted.
Thank you so much...I can't wait to see what the new year brings on your blog!
I love the purple with the gray of the ferns. Very interesting tones.
ReplyDeletegotta love winter lighting!
adorable! the socks are great.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.halcoholic.com
great scarf & jacket! lovely colors.. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the accents of color.. looks so great with the frost. And that brooch is adorable.. very Irish!
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, I just have to tell you.. my boyfriend and I always talk about where we want to move away to after college.. and after knowing we wanted somewhere on the west coast, your blog has helped me realize Seattle (or somewhere near the coast of Washington) is exactly where we want to live. Close to the city but still beautiful surroundings.. and of course.. amazing concerts are a huge plus.
Cute outfit, I hope you had a great New Years.
ReplyDeleteinteresting way of wearing socks!
ReplyDeletebut you wear it really well :)
XO, lily

its been warmer on my side of washington, so i have yet to see the prettiness that is the car windshields and neglected p-patches glazed over. i like how the frost crunches under my boots. soon, it will be that time over here.
ReplyDeletelovely outfit, yet again.
wow, these are beautiful pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this entire look, I am partial to purple, but this outfit is great. I know my guy friends would love it if I wore a pin like that lol, it is very cute.

This outfit is so pretty, I love the knee socks :)
ReplyDeleteI really notice that I dress darker in winter and fall, but unconsciously, I don't do it on purpose.
Absolutely gorgeous, you & your surroundings. :)

ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so beautiful! The frost looks amazing and your socks are just... incredible! :)
