Iced and Frigid

mini mac clutch




Striped Blouse: Forever 21 in pink/orange or blue/navy (Here)
Jeans: Old Navy Rockstar Denim  (Here)
Jacket: Forever 21  (old)
Bracelet: Hermes
Watch: Michael Kors  (Here)
Handbag: Rebecca Minkoff  (Here)
Boots: Franco Sarto  (Here)
Sunnies: c/o Michael Kors  (Here)
I would love to take my jacket off so you can see this fun striped georgette shirt I recently discovered at Forever 21 (comes in a pink and orange combo too).  The dead giveaway is probably my red hands clenching the chains on my bag.  It was just too icy and frigid out so the best I could do was unzip the jacket.  And let me tell you....I had to brace myself.  When is winter going to be over again?

  5. That top looks super cute from what we can see of it and I love the bright jeans. Winter seems to be extra harsh this year doesn't it. Let's hope the groundhog is right about an early spring.

  20. Not soon enough! Seems like we've been in a deep freeze for a month except for one freak day when it thought it was late Spring.

    Love the black and yellow. It's funny because previously I would have always said, "Bumble Bee coming!" but now I love it.

  30. That's a nice combination. Cold hands, warm heart. Frozen hands, put your glove back on!!! Indoor photo shoots are nice any time of year, but especially during frigid times.

  31. A brilliant strike of yellow...I am loving the vividness of your jeans! And it looks so lovely with the stripey blue top and the chic black jacket.

  32. You are so funny Bessie ;). I'll be wearing boots until April.. Pacific northwest weather is gloomy, cold, and rainy until then so I'll be the last to take off the layers . I like the yellow with the black;)
