It has been about two years since I've worn a mostly grey outfit and I think I did a much better job this time, as the only non-gray colour in the outfit is represented by the black cap toe oxfords. If I had worn grey shoes, I would have created a 100% monochrome look. That would have been pretty sweet. Hehe. I'll get there, at some point, maybe. Come to think of it, I don't have a single pair of grey shoes...

So, yeah. Maybe that's the place to start? Haha. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how the outfit turned out. I enjoyed wearing it and, judging from the reactions I got from most people, they were intrigued by it, too. Hehe. Lots of stares. Always lots of stares. >_< Oh and I'm not sure why the pleated skirt looks lighter grey in the close-up photo above. I find my camera does weird things when I take photos right at sunset or just after. Incidentally, I wish that the skirt actually had that lighter color, because it blends in with everything quite nicely. Hehe. Still, even with the true colour, I don't think the disparity is off-putting.

The evening these photos were taken, I had convinced my partner to go for a walk to get coffee with me. I just felt really cooped up from all the studying I had been doing and I just wanted a chance to be outside and talk about or think about something other than Canadian law. Heh. It was time well spent!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Oh, how the heads turned, this day. Haha. I was in the check-out line at the grocery store and the lady checking out our stuff said I looked like Paddington Bear. o_O O_o She said it was the hat in combination with the blue coat. I chuckled. That didn't even occur to me. *shrug* I'll accept it. Hehe.

Honestly, I was expecting to possibly upset someone, as the hat isn't exactly .... umm ... well .... appropriate, I guess is the word. Heh. I'll just leave this here. It was a gift from my partner. Just something cute to add to my collection of hats that I like to wear around the apartment (though, I was brave enough to wear this one outdoors). I don't subscribe to the connotations and drama surrounding the bear hat. I just think the bear is funny. It's dark humour for sure, but I mean no offence!

Right. OK. Heh. So, when I was putting this outfit together on my mannequin, I took a step back and I thought, a brown hat of some sort was needed. I have a couple, but I didn't really like how they looked with the outfit. Just on a whim, I plopped this bear hat on top of the outfit and I just thought it made the whole thing look so adorable. So, I went with it. :P I also loved the mix of deep burgundy and burnt orange. The "top" I'm wearing is actually a vintage dress. You can see the full dress here.

I'm quite fond of mixing warm and cool colours, so I hope you enjoy the palette in this outfit. Cheers! <3
