Tuesday is the new Monday

Tuesday is the new Monday by yesandnazzy featuring Ted Baker

I need some sass today, and I need to keep it happy.  2014 is throwing me curve balls already!  I paired a lovely pleated dress with a fitted, flaired coat (heavy enough for my winter: below freezing).  All the accessories give a little sass to the outfit, just like the feeling that Tuesday is the new Monday.  Kitty cat flats from Charlotte Olympia (LOVE), a silver bow necklace, lips on a thin ring, and bricks on the scarf.  This would be my very "Carry on and..." outfit to attack the start of the week.  I went darker than the popular 2014 Pantone color: Radiant Orchid, which seems to sway back and forth in shades of lavender.  I'm not sure if it's more pinky-purple, or just a lightened purple.  I prefer the bolder magenta or brink pink myself for a bigger pop here.

Snow Day Parka with a Rabbit Hunt

I needed something fresh for yet another snow day bundled up.  We have record-breaking frigid temps today which inspired some fuzzy selections like this Snow Day Parka with a Rabbit Hunt.  The bulk of the parka and faux-fur boots needed a little whimsy so I hunted down some bunny rabbit accents in gold.  The Hello sweater and knee-padded trousers give this outfit a casual-comfy (without getting too bummy) feel and the Burberry scarf is just a classic (and warm) piece.  I'm in love with the dotted ear-muffs that double as headphones and may order them to help me get out of this cabin fever slump I'm beginning to feel. Yet again.  I'm starting to believe I wasn't made for snowy conditions.  Give me the sunshine!
