Jan 3rd - Outfit #2 - Floofy Florals

Woo, it was cold today! Frost on the ground and all the rooftops! We don't get a lot of cold weather up here in the Pacific Northwest (the rest of Canada thinks we're wimps) so as delicate West Coast flowers, when it dips below freezing, we all run for our scarves.

I waited until the very last second this morning before I had to leave to get my stair shot - I will have natural like, darn it! 

This is a new-to-me jacket that I picked up back in April (I know! April!) on consignment for $30.00. The brand is notthesame Jeans (the buttons all say NTS). It nearly made it into the neutral November capsule, but then I moved it to January's. 

Despite my love for it (ruffles! ties! ruffles!), it's tricky to style. We'll see how it goes. Today, I have a pink cami on underneath it (not part of the capsule).

The skirt is one that I've had for about a year and a half. It's by Bianca Nygard and I thrifted it for $7.50 - I think I've only worn it once, here in June 2011. Check out those pictures, because they show the dramatic slit action much better than today's poses.

Isn't the back of the jacket sweet?

And a leg! I wore rosy/burgundy tights to go with all the purples and pinks and burgundies in the floral necklace.

This is the first wear of the booties I purchased last week here:

They were pretty comfy, although they'll never be an "all day" kind of shoe. I was disappointed that they look grey in the fluorescent lights at work. "No, they're not grey!"

In addition to my floral necklace, I did little vintage purple earrings and a ring that Dad gave me for Christmas in the 80s.

Purple!
