i’m going to be completely honest and tell you that i loooved this outfit….but i suffered mild hypothermia because of it.  now, that’s a bit of a dramatic exaggeration, but i assure you that without gloves and socks i absolutely froze.  a harsh lesson to learn, isn’t it?  that you can’t dress for september in january.  apparently my sunny vacations have really messed with my perception of vancouver weather reality!

went for a little menswear inspired comfy (but cold) look for my lunch date with leonie of the the signature bow and randa of the-unprecedented.  it was great meeting up with these lovely gals to talk fashion, work, and travel.  after lunch at 8 1/2, we even got to do a bit of window shopping at scout and f as in frank.  main street lunch dates are the best!

hoping for my sake, that the next outfit post will probably feature me in a parka because i really need to learn to bundle up.  also, i’m apparently in the market for a parka, so if you would like to donate one to me, i won’t turn it down 😉

    I always love your casual looks, you manage to look put together but still comfortable in a way that I really admire. And that hat? Perfection. The feather detail is too cute!

    This is a great outfit but yes, unfortunately with the cold weather Vancouver experienced, I had to retire any flats and bring out boots only.
    Love the layering of the sweater over the button-up. That's my go-to trend right now!

    I couldn't figure out how to comment on your previous post, so I'll just leave it here: Did you see Dallas Green perform?? I'm so jealous, I love him!

  • Rebecca Jane January 25, 2012 at 4:52 am

    I am admittedly a little jealous of how fabulous you always look in hats. I love them, but I have yet to find one that looks right.

    Freezing for fashion is something I think all fashion bloggers are familiar with at some point! Loving the menswear-inspired look and the Forever 21 necklace! Great score 🙂

  • lisa January 25, 2012 at 8:39 pm

    I love this outfit! Cute, casual and chic with just the right accessories to elevate it.

    There is one way to wear an outfit like this and not risk hypothermia while still forgoing socks and gloves: swap out the hole-y sweater for a solid one and the cotton (?) trousers for wool ones.

  • What Sadie Did January 25, 2012 at 11:41 pm

    Hehehe, when I saw the photos I thought – wow you must be getting great weather for January! And then I read that you froze! 😉

    Love the necklace and sweater look.

    This is pretty darn cute, girlie! Chilly or not, it's super adorable! (though yes, I haven't not worn boots since maybe November? Cannot wait to wear shoes again! Sigh!)

  • Prairie Girl in the City January 26, 2012 at 5:55 am

    I have been so guilty of picking my outfits on cuteness and not warmth. I'm trying to just layer up and hope for the best:-)

    Menswear? Yes please! I'm really wanting to master the menswear look, but I just can't seem to get it right. You however, hit the nail on the head!

    Love the little details with the scarf, the hat, and the brogues.

    Happy almost weekend 🙂 xo

    P.S. I almost thought you chopped your hair in one of the shots, I was so excited!

  • Ly January 27, 2012 at 5:27 pm

    Hypothermia is totally worth looking so adorable. I mean, as fashionistas we do that crap all the time, right?
