I awoke to the sun shining through the blinds and it was glorious. ^_^ It's amazing what a little sunshine can do to brighten one's mood. It was in the mid-30's and it just felt so much like Spring that I couldn't help myself. I had to break out the floral tights. Trends and seasons be damned! It just felt right.

I happen to be quite transparent with my layering, so this outfit isn't all that complicated.
That being said, I wanted to exemplify the Spring season from head to toe, so the color scheme was paramount.

Underneath the black coat, lies a
yellow wool longline coat ($55) from my sponsor, Choies. My goal is to steadily introduce bright colored coats to my wardrobe, so I'm happy to finally add yellow to the mix. I had expected the color to be a little bit brighter, but in person it's actually more of a deep mustard. I'm totally cool with that, though. :D I really like the length and style. The coat is sewn with the seams on the outside, so it has an unfinished look to it that makes it unique. Also, I expected it to be thicker for a coat, but it's rather lightweight. In my opinion, it fits more like a blazer. As you can see, I was able to fit another coat over it with ease. It isn't bulky at all. Oh and I ordered a size medium! Fits perfectly!

To compliment the deep mustard and dark blue florals, I added a ruby red ModCloth dress that I was lucky enough to receive from my clothing swap group.
It was sold out on the website and I had looked high and low for it. I found it on Ebay once, but it wasn't in my size. I was totally prepared to pay full price for this dress. So, I feel pretty lucky to have it. It's supposed to have a white belt, but the person who gave it to me had lost it. I haven't gotten around to buying a white belt for it and I didn't have any belts that I thought would really compliment the whole outfit, so I just decided to wear it without one.

That's about it! You've seen the perforated kitten heels here, the blue floral tights here, and the scalloped satchel here, among other posts. I felt so cheerful wearing this bright outfit. So many people smiled at me when I walked by. Hehe. ^_^ I hope you enjoyed it! Have a wonderful weekend!  <3

I love the mustard and ruby combo and rather like the idea of this being like an extra long blazer. This combo somehow seems perfect for early spring (especially the fact you can layer in another coat if it turns cold!)

Hi, Anna! As usual, looking beautiful and I don't know what, this time your pictures have a different expression, a lot of confidence - not that you don't have in the previous posts, but the way you look at the "horizon" is so nice! I loved the pics! As I also love the color mustard, your coat is gorgeous! So are your shoes and satchel - and the floral finish tights, wow! I'd love to wear floral tights, but then I look way shorter :) denisesplanet com

Hi dear!
I love it! When you can subtly match colors in an outfit is always something I appreciate, and your mustard yellow coat with the floral print collants and red dress is perfect.

Bright colors are right up my alley, especially on cold days. It's so easy to slip into the routine of wearing dark colors when it's chilly outside. I'm loving all the pieces in this outfit, especially the dress and bag!

spot-on color-pairing as usual, dearie. I understand about how the sun can give you a pick-me-up after the winter drearies and I can tell you dressed for the occasion. ;) The colors just sing together, they really. AND THAT JACKET. Gawd damn.

love,
