Supposedly Winter // OOTD
There's nothing like a bright & sunny day. It's even better when it's supposed to be winter. The key is to find balance. It may be perfectly nice when you're in the heat of the sun but once you step in the shade you're in for a chilly surprise. That's why it's always ideal to layer up, which is something I covered in what to wear on a California winter's day.
I found that lately I'm not as comfortable wearing jeans & pants. Maybe I need to find the perfect pair? Maybe I need to lay off the carbs? My current trend of choice is tights &/or leggings with shorts. It's warm. It's cozy. It's perfect to keep goosebumps at bay. Who needs those anyway?
I'd been avoiding most jewelry as of late due to some sort of weird allergic reaction I had to wearing cheap costume jewelry. I'm excited to be back in the accessorizing game. My rings read: Carmen & Fred. I am Carmen & my boyfriend is Fred. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned his name, but now there's no going back. :p
Shirt: Charlotte Russe // Shorts: Forever 21 // Leggings: Forever 21 // Boots: from my grandma's closet // Cat ear ring: Claire's (similar) // Infinity ring: Dog Eared Jewelry // Name rings: Fiverr // Bracelet: Buddhist temple
There's something so thrilling about switching up your routine. I rarely do anything with my hair, so even a small clip makes me feel like a new person. Wearing old jewelry that's been lying around for years feels like I bought something fresh. It's basically a good reminder to try something different. Do you feel the same way? What little changes do you make to your daily routine? What do you think of this outfit? :]

Old gems are often the greatest gems. -23 windchill sounds like 100% torture!! :O!
DeleteIt's currently -30 in Toronto so I'm incredibly jealous of the "winter" you're having there! They issued a warning saying after 10 minutes outside, any exposed skin will freeze. Love the pink shorts, it screams summer even though it isn't :)
ReplyDeleteNabihah | http://thesundaywardrobe.blogspot.com
Haha, I think it should be called "winter" because it's definitely not winter here. Stay warm, don't want that lovely skin to freeze. :]
DeleteWe've been having some bright sunny "winter" days here too! Love your style girlie! <3 - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDelete"Winter" is great, right!? Basically beach season. :]

You are so cute and I agree - that is the thing about sunny chilly days. The sun can really trick you into thinking it is warm, but the minute you step into the shade it is freezing!
ReplyDeleteRae | love from berlin
Oh yes, it's definitely a trickster. You think it's warm but it's actually not. :]
DeleteOh, the color of your hair is really pretty (:

DeleteI'm also not a fan of jeans!! I try to wear anything but!! Love the shorts with the tights under it. Very awesome look and looks beautiful there too!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the way you've done your hair in this post xxxx
www.bohemianmuses.blogspot.com
Yay for jean-haters! Thank you; I normally just leave my hair down & it wasn't looking good, so the clip totally saved me. :]
DeleteSigh. Short sleeves in February could only happen in such a fabled place as California!! It's wet and windy here, so I'm wrapped up in boots and layers. I dream of wearing shorts again (but probably with tights here!).
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my blog x
I'd love to bust out my layers! I have so many scarves, hats, & jackets that didn't get any use this season!!! :p
DeleteGreat look! I wish we could get some of that warmer weather over here in TN!!!
