Yes, I just went from futuristic harbinger of misfortune to sugary sweet maiden. o_O This may come as a surprise to new visitors of my blog, but the rest of you have probably gotten used to this kind of behavior. I think a good rule of thumb for reading my blog is: expect the unexpected. Hehe.

Picture

That and maybe lower your expectations? Haha. I don't know. My style can be hit or miss and even jarring at times. I think when I succeed, I succeed big and when I fail, I fail really hard. I don't do anything half-ass. Better to keep your seat belt fastened at all times! So, what do I have going on here, today? Well, I basically threw together lots of colorful pieces and included a cheeky surprise. :P

I started with the
earthy brown scarf and went from there. I received it from my sponsor, Oasap, and it's reasonably priced at $7.90. I desperately needed a scarf in this color, so I'm very happy to have it! I ended up getting two more of these in taupe and mustard. :D The scarf comes in many colors!

Picture

Yes, that is a creepy apple face staring at you from behind my back. Haha. I felt like the outfit needed a really bright pop of color besides that of the vintage mustard mittens. I didn't like how the print on the hat looked from the front. I thought it was a bit distracting. So, I got the bright idea to turn the hat around so it would just be plain red in the front. This resulted in a fun surprise for people behind me. ^_^
Look at that leaf and stem! :DDD This hat is so cute! My partner's mother gave it to me as a gift. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love hats, including those of the animal variety. ;D I didn't have any fruit hats, though. Well, that is, until now. I might draw the line at apples though. I think I would look ridiculous with a banana on my head. Haha. Not all fruits make good hats, I'm afraid. :F~

Picture

In addition to the brown scarf, I added more warm colors to counteract the bright hat and gloves. You might recognize the beautiful wooden button green coat. I last wore it in
this post with a floral dress.

The textured carrot orange skirt is one of my favorite purchases. The color is perfect and it paired nicely with my Bershka mixed pattern teal sweater.
It's my only orange skirt, too. I should probably get another one just for a bit of variety, eh? Hehe. Oh and you can see better views of the sweater here.

While we were running errands, I saw a lot of brown, grey and black figures shuffling around downtown. I know how depressing this time of year can be, so I hope I turned some Winter frowns upside down!

Hahah, oh boy, I want to hug that little apple, it's so kawaiii! :D
Yeah, I know what you mean with the hit and miss. I'm having a slight style crisis, last night I was scrolling to my blog and I didn't like one single outfit, I need a style change perhaps...
Love all your outfits though and I truly believe all are hit! :D Adore this colorful one, the sweater, skirt and booties are so perfect for each other!

Nah, man. You're doing great. Sometimes, you need someone from the outside to tell you that. I know how you feel. I've been doing the same thing. Going over my past posts and hating most of the them. Wanting to delete all of them. Heh. I think you feel that way, because you care. What drives you is being the best that you can be. You're a perfectionist, even if you won't admit it. ;) That kind of mindset is great for ingenuity, but it's hell on your constitution. It can be exhausting and depressing. You become your own worst critic. Take it from me, though, and this is worth repeating: You're doing great! <3

ところであのりんご帽子が大好きだよ! でもよく被れるか分からない。ちょっと風変わりなものだと思うけど。。。 笑。まだ日本語を勉強しているの? そうだったら、頑張ってね!

I love that I never know what to expect when I visit your blog, yet I'm always in love with your outfits! You make bundling up for winter so darn cute. That is probably the most perfect coat- I love the long slim cut and the shape of the colors. Cutest hat, and you're definitely right that not all fruits would make good hats- haha!

Hehe, yeah. I'm a bit of a weirdo. :D I love the coat, too! The one nice thing about the colder weather is that it gives me an excuse to wear it! <3 Thanks, Lisa!

Oh, you look so cozy! And the apple hat is like the (literal?) cherry on top of the sundae! Beautiful color mixing too - so cheery and cozy - perfect for a blustery autumn day! You've absolutely nailed it, as usual. :D

p.s. do you ever have "off" or lazy days where you just look boring like some of the rest of us?! LOL. ;)

Haha <3 YES! Pretty much every day except Saturday and Sunday are "off" days for me and even then, if I don't have plans to go anywhere special, I'll typically phone it in. Every now and then I feel the urge to get dressed up and I'll end up wearing something super nice to the post office or the grocery store or whatever. It's those few occasions where I'll snap some photos because I like what I'm wearing. :P So yeah, I don't have the time (or the money) to look super awesome every day. I wish I did. Haha. For now, it's just a couple days a week. <3

Fantastic mix of colours! Looking at your hat, I came up with "Little Red Apple Hood"...so silly right! Haha. I like your coat and gloves - probably you already can sense that I have mustard colour obsession lol.

Anna, I only discovered your blog today - and I pretty much spent the whole day going through it, I even showed it to my 13 y.o. daughter. Her name is also Anna, by the way - the way you pronounce it, not the way Americans typically pronounce it. She is having troubles to get some people to remember that despite the common spelling it is not pronounced the common way (well it is common in Europe and Russia where I am from). She even started thinking to "officially" change it to a "normal" way. I was so happy to discover your video (which we both adored!), I even told her to contact you. :) Any advice on that matter?

As for your style and your blog, it is impossible to not fall in love with you! It is also impossible to copy your style - I can tell it comes from within. I loved many, many of your outfits, but this one is hand down my most favorite ever. I think it is one of the best on the web, period.

Thank you also for introducing us to wonderful unique bloggers! I added quite a few to my reading list. I'd love to feature your blog on mine, let me know please whether you're OK with that. I think it is simply brilliant - so authentic and inspiring!
