Winter Pastels






Hat: Forever 21
Trench: Forever 21
Sweater: H&M
Skirt: Gap
Heels:  Joan & David
Bracelet: J.Crew
Watch: Michael Kors
Sunnies: Marc by Marc Jacobs
On Monday we talked about the perks of taking photos indoors due to my hibernation mode.  The other perk is that I've had time to go through my closet and acknowledge that I have a shopping problem.  I have rediscovered many items in my closet that I forgot about, such as this mint green wool skirt bought 7+ years ago from Gap. And how about this wool trench from Forever 21 that I wore once because the year I bought it, it almost immediately went from Summer to Winter so I went straight for my thick wool winter coat.  I had no idea I had some winter pastel pieces in my closet!

  14. Hey! It's like finding $10 in your coat pocket that you've forgotten about except it's clothing : ) Gotta love that.

    The whole look is very cute and the shoes are perfect.

    Funny how that whole look was just waiting in your closet for you to discover.

  66. I love pastels in winter more than I do in spring! I think because it adds a feel of spring and happiness to the dreary season! Shopping your own closet is the best. I find things that I haven't seen in years (or don't even remember buying lol) Yeah so I am with you on having a shopping problem! You look gorgeous!
