Your Brights Are On

1/8/2014

I'm wearing my red coat, again. I know! Hush! ;D I tried a dark green coat and a grey coat and, in the end, I just felt like the red one looked best. It really brightens up the whole outfit and I wanted to be super colorful on this overcast, bitterly cold (-20°F to be exact o_O) and highly depressing afternoon.

This will be a short post since the only new thing I'm wearing is this plaid dress from my sponsor, Sammydress. You've seen the scarf in this post and the leggings in this post, among others. I could have worn plain colored leggings, but I wanted to push the envelop a bit with mixing colors and prints.

This is my second time wearing this navy vintage blazer. It's the best ever! I love that it's oversized. I don't know why I'm getting into grandma sweaters and grandpa blazers these days. Could it be the comfort factor? I really like loose fitting clothing as opposed to skin tight thingies. I lounge in loose clothes at home, so why not do it when I leave? Heh. I could be shy..or lazy..or just not all that fond of everyone seeing my muffin top after having eaten half a pizza and quaffed two to three rum and cokes.

I wish I could have gotten better close up shots of the hem and the deer print, but after about 30 minutes, I started to feel like a human icicle, so...yeah. Haha. The product photos will have to do for now. Originally, I had planned to use the dress as a layering tool, because the print extends to the collar making it perfect underneath sweaters. The lace hem would add an interesting twist underneath a plain colored skirt of the right length. I really had no intention of wearing it by itself, but I felt that I would be doing a great injustice if I didn't show the dress in its entirety this one time. So there you go! ^_^

Oh and I DID say this post would be short, right? I could have sworn....hmm..... >_<

HAHA you kill me with your writing!! But wait...you DON'T have a different coat to wear with each and every blog post? Shame on you!! LOL

Seriously though, I love the look. I'm all about oversized, so the grandpa style is always what I look to first.

Haha, Anna, I had to laugh when you wrote it just covered your back, you are tall - I am short! 5'3 :) As usual, I loved the boots BUT as usual, I love shoes a lot, only that today I loved moooore the red coat! Simply because red is my favorite color! You make winter look cheerful (I love winter!), with this beautiful outfit and the nice yellow satchel! You look fabulous! And wow, so we are both vegetarians! We have to talk about delicious recipes :) denisesplanet com

Anna

1/11/2014 08:55:06 am

Yes, recipes! You have no idea how much I hate cooking. It's not that I'm bad at it. I'm actually quite good when I put my mind to it. It's just the PROCESS that I don't enjoy. I get flustered. It's weird. Anyway, I do enjoy eating good food..haha. So, I'd love to get those recipes. ^_^

Yes, this outfit definitely needed the red coat! It looks so cute with your darling reindeer dress! I love it. And I can't believe it's -20 degrees there, I can't even fathom that kind of cold! Stay warm, my friend!

Anna

1/11/2014 08:57:51 am

Right on! I was a little worried about it, but after I saw the photos I was like 'yeah, that coat was the right one.' For some reason, I end up either liking or hating my outfits after seeing them photographed. Looking at them in the mirror just isn't the same. Anyway, yeah we got this crazy cold front last week, but we're back up to double digits and it's quite nice this weekend. ^_^

No need for apologies here! I love a statement coat. In fact, I own one coat total, and it's red. There is just something so awesome about wearing a bright read coat on a chilly day that I love so much.

No apologies necessary, dearie. You look adorable. I love these layers and how all the colors tie together.

I don't blame you for liking loose clothing. I find it very comfortable to throw on some skinny jeans and a poofy sweater. Balance is the key.

hehehe. It's funny you should mention rum and coke. I'm actually drinking that right now. Cheers!

love,
a

I love these sweet little prints. The combination of the red coat and the yellow bag is fabulous. I love those two together. Your bag is perfect. I have been looking for a yellow bag for awhile now.

I love loose fitting things these days too..I'm thinking it's definitely a comfort thing. Anyway, love this look as always, the red definitely suits you so it was a good choice :)
