crayola

Despite my wariness of layering, I really had no choice this past weekend, when I was plunged from 32 degree summer weather into frigid (albeit sunny and glorious) winter. I managed to dress like a box of crayons, but I think the stripes in the scarf and the touch of red plaid in the jacket tie the whole look together. Next time I just need some stripey socks to match my scarf, and I might even manage to stay warm!

I'd have worn this outfit eventually anyway, as I have limited winter clothes, but I was definitely thinking of Annebeth's awesome coloured denim and scarf look... and while I was writing this in the airport she was leaving me a comment that more is more when it comes to layering. Hehe. Facing my fears from now on!

  2. Aw what a lovely and bright outfit, really good for fighting the autumn blues. We've had glorious weather here as well despite the temperature drop. I'm almost glad because it means I can layer to my hearts content :)

  11. haha no surprise that I love this outfit, probably? Primary colors go great together and the scarf pulls it all together but it would totally still work without the scarf too!

  19. Ah, it is so fun to play with crayons, but this reminds me more about a Rubiks Cube. Mainly because of the mono colored garments in your outfit. Looks warm though, which was the point I guess?

  20. @whitemaskgirl: Warm until my feet and ankles... and in fact it was so damn cold that day that I wouldn't have been warm whatever I wore....

  22. where are your socks young lady?! My feet are always the first thing to get cold so socks are a must. I hope you can find some to match your colorful scarf.

  23. @Amber: Haha, indeed! Must work on the sock situation : )

  24. so much bright colours in fall - awesome outfit.

    ReplyDelete
  25. haha love Annebeth's "more is more" in layering advice, so true... now if only it would cool down here for even one layer. Must have been freezing there if you were cold even in this. Either way you look adorable, love the yellow & read together & the scarf is just great.

  29. First off, this outfit is awesome. The primary colors, the layers - awesommeee. Secondly, I'm drooling (figuratively, of course. hehe) over your Hudson's Bay Company scarf.

  30. love this colorful outfit! i found an almost identical yellow sweater at the thrift the other day, kindof kicking myself that i didn't buy it now!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love this! All of the bright colors together are so fun. I need to be more courageous with my layering, too!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ha, what a wonderful title for this blog post. You look so bright and cheery despite the cold weather. :]

  33. that scarf!! I love the cheery colors. Also, aren't your feet cold?! My feet are always the first to feel the cold, sometimes I have to wear two layers of socks (and this is in California so obviously I'm a wuss).

    ReplyDelete
  34. My feet were indeed kinda cold... but somehow I had completely neglected to bring socks with me. In fact, I think I need to buy socks...

    ReplyDelete
  35. You look really cold, which I find great!! Finally winter is coming! ;) And despite looking cold, you look great in that outfit with those colours! Now I want a yellow jumper too, and a colourful scarf. I loved Annebeth's look too.

  36. Wow, you are wearing very bold colours. :)

    ReplyDelete
