We 've just crossed the 10 Celsius/50 Fahrenheit hurdle on the way to spring :D Look, no boots! I've been living in boots for the past few weeks unwilling to relinquish the extra leg warmth ;)
My new ride now goes by Dusty owing to its dusty green colour which is not entirely unlike the shade of my favourite pair of tights (which I am waring underneath the pair you see before you - it is warming up but it 's still awful cold. Alright, alright: I am chicken.)
The weather has been pretty soggy. What is good for the plant life sure isn't pleasant for the outfit blogger. I can't wait to see some green shoots though :)
The lack of sunlight reminds me of an article in yeseterday's local news: You'd think rickets was a thing of the past but here in Cambridgeshire it is on the rise thanks to over-anxious parents who smother their children in sunblock. You couldn't make it up.
When I wore this to work on Friday a couple of colleagues said I looked like I was about to break into a Lindy Hop which I thought was rather sweet. For the record, I only know one kind of dancing: Shaking my body about spasmodically interspersed with some jumping (jump up, jump up and get down - right?). I've heard about these things called co-ordinaton and grace and I sure hope they are overrated. ;) Once upon a time they tried to teach me to waltz at school. Embarrassing times.
Sitcom worthy. :D
Have a most excellent Sunday you all!
beret: eBay
coat: Supermarket
cardi: some shop 9 years ago
scarf: ex Mom's
dress: modcloth
belt: H&M last year
skirt: modcloth
Shoes: vintage K's
You look adorable in these fresh blues! :D I am SO IN LOVE with that colour of tights too <3
ReplyDeleteI can't dance either and my preferable way of erm "dancing" is just as you described but with some movements of my preferable long and flowy skirt XD. Ah, coordination!
The print of your dress is so cute, I love it! And your shoes are really nice too.

The acorn dress!! I was pretty seriously considering buying this in that mad modcloth sale a few days ago... but didn't. And now - seeing this little ensemble, I'm kinda wishing I had!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are wearing two pairs of tights cause I just find it freaky when you see girls in the snow in sun dresses. Particularly when I am rugged up in a cardi at night because it is under 25 degrees C!
Happy Sunday to you too :)
You are so funny, witty and talented. Love all your posts. I look forward to each and everyone of them
ReplyDeleteI have just realise that you are not following my blog, muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ( sigh of sadness), ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hehehhhe.
have a wonderful Sunday my dear friend.

The acorn dress is back! I love it all layered up with icy blues. Especially love your robin's egg blue beret... it seems to hint that the robbins should follow and get spring underway!
ReplyDeleteUm yeah, the info about the rickets just depresses me. Parents are incorrigible these days. The thought of putting sunblock on your children in the winter... in England...
I just came over from Monkeyface's blog, and I'm so glad that I did! You have excellent style, and I love that you are a cyclist!
ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable outfit - you look absolutely lovely in blue. I'm glad it's warmed up enough to go without boots (albeit) with double tights. We're experiencing extremely cold weather here and I'm not sure it's gotten over 30 the past couple of days. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteGracey
I love you in blue. And those little acorns! How adorable can you get? I love how you can wear five different shades of a similar color so well. Go, Stef!
ReplyDeleteI am a covert follower - I use feeds :)
ReplyDeleteI love all this blue and how you remixed your acorn dress. It looks amazing once again!
ReplyDeletesuperlovely outfit, and the pic with the bike is so cool! spring is starting to blossom over here too, I'm totally ready for bare legs :(
ReplyDeletesquirrels would be all over that dress. me too.
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing double tights today as well. I just really hate to be cold. The dress on you is completely adorable.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Hello Dusty!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in this outfit, and what a great comment from your coworker! Haha, dancing is fun, even just the spasmodic kind ;)
That's crazy about rickets being on the rise... :S There are a few people in my town who have it too, but they're really old. Parents need to calm down and let their kids get SOME sunlight!

You look lovely! I'll send some of our sunny weather to you!
ReplyDeleteI am always at a loss for words at your amazing ability to color coordinate with shades of the same color. The resulting outfit is so harmonizing....I really can't express it in words......sometimes you just softly contrast your background....sometimes you blend in yet stand out somehow. I do not know how you do it....but I find your photos absolutely magical.

I just discovered your blog. I really like the way you mix colours and patterns.
ReplyDeleteI have heard the sunblock warnings--Vitamin D in short supply not just in children, but adults as well.
ReplyDeletethose shoes are incredibly adorable! ha I've been doubling up on tights all month too:)

That dress is so adorable dear! And your glasses are just too cute. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment! It was really helpful. Love your shoes!!

yay for warmer weather and the chance to wear cute shoes! Modcloth always has the best dresses. I really love the print on yours. xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat look. I wish I was brave enough to try tights that color. Hope the weather keeps getting warmer!
ReplyDeleteRamblings of a Small Town Girl
BLUETIFUL. :) You look so cool in these colors, and I seriously need to try the skirt-underneath-dress thing for added poof!
ReplyDeleteI love all the pops of blue, this outfit is perfect:)
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely look, both vintage and modern- quite timeless! I adore all the blue tones throughout this outfit- such a great use of color. The print on the dress is great, too- I love quirky prints and modcloth has some of the best.
ReplyDeleteYour bike! What a dream mode of transportation!! I have been searching high and low for an easter egg colored vintage bike, but alas no findings yet. Fingers crossed. I absolutely love your eye for color and pairing unique pieces together! Inspiring girl.

I feel you! I've been in boots nonstop too! Love how well you put together this whole outfit. The hat and tights both rock!

haha! "i am chicken" is a great quote. you look lovely here, especially in those shoes!!
ReplyDeletei love all the shades of blue!! adorable outfit!
ReplyDeleteRickets? Wow, I really wouldn't have imagined reading such a story nowadays.
ReplyDeleteAside from that, you're sporting the most wonderful array of blues. I love it! I'm heartbroken, Stef. I missed my chance to scoop up the Acorn-ucopia dress during Modcloth's big sale. So sad. However, it is awfully fun seeing you style it in the most creative ways.
The cool hues of this outfit are GORGEOUS. You are quite the best of coming up with some seriously awesome color palettes. I just love everything about this from the dress to the grey shoes. The weather is soggy here too:( I am ready for some sunshine. Lovely as always!!
