Camel / Caramel / Cognac

December 12, 2011


{photos by Judith Wong}
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?

    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.

    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!
