Easy Weekend

February 1, 2011

Waking up to sunshine this weekend was unexpected and wonderful to say the least. I couldn’t remember the last time I wanted to get out of bed so badly and get outside! I threw on a casual and comfortable outfit, looking forward to walking outside for hours with the warmth on my face. The sunlight proved to be deceiving though, as throwing on an overcoat was barely enough to prevent me from catching a cold from the frigid air and we had to quickly duck inside immediately after these photos were taken (see how ridiculously cold I look in the second photo? Haha). In any case, it brought me great joy to prematurely dress for the coming Spring even though it was short-lived and I can’t wait until it gets truly warm again!

What are you looking forward to wearing this Spring?

    Haha you do look cold! I’m looking forward to sunshine without deceit as like you, I tend to go overboard when the first rays of sun hit and fool myself into thinking it’s time to lay back on the layers.

    Another amazing outfit, LOVE it! You look super cute.
    For me it’s so hard to dress cute when it’s snowing outside and it’s all yucky and dirty once it starts melting. So I’m definitely looking forward to spring and cute clothes πŸ™‚

    haha, i felt the same way too when i went out for work. since it was sunny, i just threw on a cardigan and headed out. i should’ve known that vancouver likes to trick us like that! haha.

    that h&m necklace is stunning. it fits well with any outfit. alber is genius.

    Kudos to you for being brave enough to, er, brave the cold for these photos. The Lanvin x H&M necklace is lovely–it really ties together your outfit and adds the perfect colourful accent to all the neutral tones.

    I get so jealous that you get to experience the 4 distinct seasons. As you know it’s basically SUMMER here year round.. okay, maybe spring/summer year round. AND although I’m 99% certain I wouldn’t want to live in a place where it snowed or reached below 30 degrees (f), it’s definitely a place a I would like visit.

    Great easy weekend look Jen. I still love that necklace of yours. Probably one of my favorite pieces you own. πŸ˜‰ As for something I’m dying to wear for spring… it would probably be something floral-y. I’m thinking a sheer floral maxi skirt is in my DIY-ing future. hee hee.

    Wishing you warmer weather very soon!

    xx Love & Aloha

    Hahahaha, your face in the second pic says it all! I did a little photoshoot with my boyfriend the other day and there were so many pics that had to get trashed immediately because I looked so visibly cold and sad in them lol.

    I LOVE this outfit though…I love the eclectic touch with the way you accessorized it, and at the same time it’s so perfectly ladylike and chic. Like usual, you look amazing!

    You always look so perfectly feminine and put together! I love that Lanvin for H&M necklace so so much. Actually, I adore everything you are wearing here.

    Sorry you were cold! It’s either sunny and freezing or raining. We can’t win! (I guess that’s what winter is though hey? haha)

The necklace is a great pop of colour, which gives the outfit a more fun touch! Great to see that you are from Vancouver too. Yay, for Vancouver bloggers. xx veronika

    THIS is your casual outfit? Amazing. My casual is nothing compared to yours. You always look so gorgeous! Your oufits are so well put together and very classy. Love the pants. They look very comfortable. Love that it has a bit of sheerness to it when the sun hits.

    Non fashion related, but love the photography and the lighting. Your boyfriend took them, right? Props to him! Very talented.

    I love how the sunlight makes the pictures so beautiful and you look stylishly adorable. Happy rabbit new year if you do celebrate!

    The snows have fallen here and there is absolutely no way I can wear anything BUT leggings + frumpy sweaters. It’s -21C every night and there’s 1.5Ft of snow piled up on the ground everywhere.

    I revel in the idea of golden light like this and I wish we could enjoy the same.

    I also wish I lived in Vancouver, or back in Victoria (my birthplace), or even back in San Diego, where the weather is decidedly less sucky.

    Please continue to bring the inspiration and sunlight into your photos. I’ll be living vicariously until we reach spring in late May.

    oh God, if I only could dress this well for the weekend πŸ™‚ You look amazing, Jen. I love the pop of red in this outfit. And those ALDO wedges are soooo divine, I’m thinking of getting them (or waiting for them until they go on sale!)

    And I agree with Mae. Frumpy sweaters and jeans/leggings make up my uniforms these days. It feels like -20 outside!! πŸ™
