Camel / Caramel / Cognac

I've been finding it a little difficult to create outfits that look well put together this winter: since keeping warm has been the most important factor for me, I've honestly become accustomed to just layering my coziest sweaters without much thought to the cohesiveness of a look. The result has been a toasty, but unfortunately often jumbled mess of fabric. Wearing different pieces in similar hues has been one of the easiest solutions to this, and is one that I will likely be using again and again in the coming months.



Wearing: Mackage coat (old), thrifted blouse, H&M jacket, YesStyle skirt, Coach bag, Zara pumps

I agree. It is so cold in Vancouver right now. What tights are you wearing to keep you warm when wearing cute skirts like this one you have on?

Really rich colours in your outfit (: I like the pop of pattern from your belt. Hope that you had a good weekend!

I'm a (fairly) new follower, and I just have to pipe up to say that I love your style - it's so classy and put together!

I totally know what you mean about dressing warm for the outdoors equating to a "jumbled mess of fabric" - it's one of the things I find most challenging about winter. But your idea about staying within the same color palette is a good one - definitely going to keep that in mind when I get dressed for a day out on the town.

Love these colors together, and that white coat looks so chic, beautiful look Jen!

I absolutely love this look, all the colours in it are perfection! I totally know what you mean about the challenges between warmth vs. style, I usually just opt for style and try to walk really briskly while I'm outside haha. Hope your week's off to a good start lovely pal!

Oh Jen, how I've missed your gorgeous face and your impeccable style. I wish we lived near and I wish I were as teeny as you, then I'd ask to raid your closet!! ha ha.

That coat is amazing and I adore that skirt as well. The detail at the hemline is fab. I want to make one for myself. I have this perfect camel colored fabric. Now I just need to find the time to make it.

I hope you've been well. The semester is winding down for me, so I'm glad to have a three week break. I hope to catch up on some "me" time. :)

Here's to fabulous week, Jen. Muah.

xx Love & Aloha

I know just what you mean... So many layers! But I think you do a beautiful job of it, I've never seen anyone wear so many sweaters and somehow manage not to look like a marshmallow :) [Which is exactly how I would look!] I love the combinatino of colours in this outfit, it's almost, dare I say it, spring-like!

So gorgeous Jen! I love the colour palette, and I totally get what you mean. It's been my uniform to wear a sweater and chunky knit scarf everyday just for the sake of warmth. So difficult to think that I'm going back to work at the end of this week so I need to start dressing better haha!

by Jess ♡ on December 12, 2011 at 5:43 PM. #

Very sophisticated look my dear! Love that leopard belt, perfect touch!

You look so lovely, Jen! I like the mix of the different neutral colors, it makes for a "warm" and elegant look. And that second-last picture of you is so pretty :-)
