Slow Fade Of Winter

Spring weather is a fickle creature; a few days of brilliant sunshine and perfect temperatures are hounded by grey skies and brisk winds. So, instead of looking as if I am ready to embrace summer with open arms, I look as if I'm layered up for fall. While I'm certainly prepared for lovely weather to return and stay awhile, I do love this particular color palette...Hopefully this will be the last outing for some scarves and tights before they are banished into the nether regions of my closet for many moons.

Outfit details:
scarf, gift from my father
UO jacket
Target tights

You really do have the most radiant, charming smile! It's infectious. Just seeing your smile here made me smile inside and out!

You're framed so perfectly in that brick "arch". It feels a bit arty!

@Anonymous, I don't know, they probably qualify as plum, but sometimes with the light they look maroon. :)

I have been using these last few days of cold weather to give my favorite winter items another run around! I must admit I will be glad to not see my winter coat for a few months! Plus I am giddy with excitement to wear all my spring dresses!

The Fancy Teacup said...

The weather here is pretty haphazard, too. You look so pretty. I really like the color palette of the outfit, and the darling horse print dress with the scarf make an exquisite pair.

Much love,

Julia Topaz said...

sometimes it's nice to get one last fall outfit in, you'll never know the next chance you'll get (though god forbid the weather stays terrible). Adorable nonetheless!

Andrea Britton said...

Love this outfit Rebecca! I was inspired by you to get a pair of t-strap clog shoes a lot like the ones you're wearing here... since you rock these shoes like no other. They haven't quite caught on in Greece yet but I love wearing them!! Always enjoy your blog.

Blue Floppy Hat said...

I love the colour scheme of what you're wearing here, and the way they rather cleverly go with your hair. Lovely, as always :)

PS: I think it might be just the angle of the photographs+the hair, but you look oddly like Cally from Battlestar Galactica here.

Maggie said...

Those colors look great on you- makes me want to go back to jewel tones already!
