Winter rose

I've posted in the past about my seasonal cycles of dressing. This is something I don't particularly like, because I enjoy being able to wear my whole wardrobe, all the time. Something I simply couldn't get my head around, was florals in winter. Flowers are simply the epitome of all things spring and summer and blooming and sunny. But I do love my flowers and lately I've been finding ways to winterise florals.

Another thing I don't tend to do very much is recycle outfits; creating outfits is simply so much fun, and having to wear a hideous uniform 75% of the time (not long now, not long) I like to combine my clothes in different ways. But lately I've also begun to find one particular combination repeating itself.

And guess what? It's floral!

  1. I've also been leery of the "winter floral" idea, but that cardi is just stunning. And the art deco-y-ness of the pattern makes it perfectly wintry.

  3. Thanks Sal - I'm rather proud of that cardigan! I bought it for £20 in a sale, and they make them every year in different patterns, selling for £50!

  4. Beautiful outfit! Very chic and a wonderful combination :) - I think you can make flowers wintery and the cardigan definitely accomplishes that in the color scheme.

  5. Those earrings are fantastic! So sweet and old-fashioned without being stodgy!
