Vancouver has had some pretty spectacular weather lately. It hasn't been perfect but there have been lots of sunny days which is such a pleasant change. The sun however doesn't mean that it's warm, which is something I seem to forget as I get pick out outfits when the sun is shining through my window. So I get dressed, walk outside and immediately have no feeling in my legs. Then to make matters worse, I have decided that I obviously can't wear my coat in my photos. So at this point I am officially standing on the beach in the middle of December in an outfit I could have worn back in June, getting bizarre looks from people passing by while they wonder who the crazy coat-less girl is. This crazy girl is a style blogger. Obviously.
It is true, it is always a struggle to post outfits in the winter as a blogger, because you can only wear your coat (s) so many times!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely beautiful in these shots though-love that collar, such a perfect accessory...and I love the shape of that top!

lol. Same weather pattern in Seattle. When it's sunny, it's cold. I actually like the rain.
ReplyDeleteThe sequined collar is unique. It works well with your outfit.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this outfit.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same kind of predicament, except I actually find it warm enough on the island to get away with no tights or jacket (ok, maybe a light jacket). However, I fly back to Alberta this evening, and I'm absolutely dreading the REAL cold.
Let's just say that I may or may not need to come by your house and steal that gorgeous collar. The sparkles are mesmerizing. You look gorg!

ReplyDeleteOmigosh, love that sequin collar, Melissa. What a great way to freshen up a look. And I hear you on the difficulties of photographing in weather... at least it's not snowing here (yet).

love it :) the whole fit is adorbs xx
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I feel like I've so immersed myself in the world of blogging now that when someone walks by and gives me a funny look, I think there's something wrong with THEM for not getting that it's for a fashion blog. Obviously. Anyway, as for this outfit I absolutely love everything! I saw your profile pic and fell in love with that collar, such a beautiful touch. Lovely as always!

I love this outfit, especially the sequin collar from Zara. You're right, even though it's not raining, the weather in Vancouver is certainly very chilly. I usually wear tights under my skirts at this time of year and I'm still freezing!
ReplyDeletei love the dedication! you don't look cold :)

I love this outfit! The collar is gorgeous - do they sell it separately at Zara? The combination of pink and black is one of my favorites and it looks great with the grey collar.

ReplyDeletehaha you are crazy to wear that in the winter at the beach but you look great so who cares? well other than you since you're probably freezing but hey, you got some nice shots ;)
ReplyDeleteCollar shirt is adorable.
The woes of being a style blogger in the northern hemisphere! We freeze our butts off because we can only feature out coats in so many posts... Such an adorable outfit on you- I absolutely adore that sequin collar!
