Late afternoon brunch attire, when running very late and with time restrictions. This weekend was the first time (since the winter began) where it was actually warm enough to hang outside without a jacket! Wearing some spring knits with skinny jeans and a pair of Timberlands. The BF and I celebrated the warm weather by hitting our usual nature spots in between running errands.

Happy Monday!

This is my take on wearing a dress over pants, as inspired by Chanel’s Fall/Winter ’12 show, or more recently, Kenzo’s 2014 Fall/Winter lineup. I’ll be honest, I was always and admirer of this trend just never had the courage to pull it off. However, the true motivator for me to finally layer a dress over pants (skinny jeans in this case) was the extreme cold and a longing for Spring. End result: love it, regret not trying it sooner.

If I were to tell you that it was -30°C/-22°F on the afternoon that we took these pictures, would you believe me? My boyfriend picked me up from work and since we didn’t want this outfit to go to waste we attempted taking a few photos. I cannot tell you how cold it was! Especially with gusts of bone chilling wind. We took a few shots as quickly as possible, in between my chattering teeth. In all honestly, I wasn’t going to publish these photos, because they were a write off to me. (Maybe I was just discriminating against them because of the suffering associated with them). Nevertheless, I decided to publish them in the end to make all of that suffering somewhat worth it. I am SO over winter.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday! xo
