Wearing Florals in Winter

Image
I cannot believe it is already halfway through August already!  How is that possible?  Speaking of the impossible, my beautiful son just turned nine years old!  How is that possible?  Life just keeps moving fast.  As the truly wise (haha!) Ferris Bueller said:  "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it"   With spring just around the corner, one cannot help but think of florals, despite Miranda Priestly's misgivings! Having said that, I do wear florals all year round and especially enjoy wearing them when it is cold and gloomy.  This past week has really been a four seasons in one day kind of week!  It's been cold, windy, sunny, warm, rainy and foggy!  The outfits in this post were worn before the cold and windy snap the past few days.  It's been way too gusty to wear midi skirts with bare legs the last few days! Haha!  Outfit 1: Top: H&M Skirt: Big W I do love this top from H&M!

Colour Combo: Pink & Black

Another day, another fun colour combo to try!  It's not that I haven't worn pink and black before, but it has been a long time!  I think pink and black go so well together because the black is a little edgy and the pink is a little sweet and together they are a perfect match!  It was about a year ago that I last wore this colour combo and at that time I was inspired by my brand new Candy Skull Chocolaticas (see below)!  A year later and I am still in love with these fun and quirky shoes and can't resist wearing pink and black when I wear them!   In the first outfit I chose to wear a few different shades of pink with black and added some fun pink accessories.  It had been ages since I'd worn this pretty cherry blossom brooch, so I knew this outfit was the perfect opportunity!  I also wore my new tassel earrings and chunky pink ring that I've had for over ten years!  Outfit 1: Top: Sussan Cardi: Millers Skirt: Rockmans Cheery Cherry Blossom Br
