22.02 grey monday

After a weekend of gorgeous weather that ingnited hopes for Spring soon arriving, I was dismayed to wake up this morning to black skies and heavy snow. The sharp fall in temperature meant abandoning any pre made outfit plans and hunting around for the closest to hand (and clean) warm layers once again.

Remind me to book a ticket to Australia for next Winter, I am so beyond finding this amusing now!

Happy Monday, I hope it is brighter where you are xxx

Alecca Rox said...

floral looks lovely on you and you have to admit, it does brighten even the gloomiest of mondays! as for the ticket, book one to greece - it will come cheaper and we're (literally) warming up here;)

AbbieBabble said...

I'm so with you on the Australia thing. It's time for spring, please!

I love your skirt and sweater combo, though- it works so well for cold and yucky weather.

Sher said...

I love the little flower in your hair, hope Spring will come soon for you!

You could come to Malaysia too, we're having a heatwave here!!

Well, at least you got a sunny weekend... it's been grey here for almost a week now! Sigh...

But I do love your integration of florals into your outfit!

perfectionishuman said...

I'm sick to death of wearing coats and boots! Although it had gotten to the stage where I could get away with ballet flats and a cardi without dying of hypothermia but the snows back to ruin my life again hah :(

Vintage Me New You said...

I was feeling optimistic for Spring too, but no, tis wet & miserable again..

Cafe Fashionista said...

The sleeves on your gray sweater and the daisy in your hair are stunning touches. Happy, Happy Monday - stay warm, my love!! :)

Sahakiel said...

Here is raining and it's cold, but I love it... you know? In Spain is always so shinny and hot, and I think that when winter comes, I just embrace it with so much happiness that I don't want it to go away... *sigh* I need a colder country!

Adorable monday outfit ;)

dinoprincesschar said...

I love how you incorporate tights into almost every outfit. It's inspiring!

And I'm with you on the wintry weather..I didn't expect Seattle's rain and gloom to affect me as much as it has. It's a bit depressing.

The Blonde Duck said...

It did the same thing here! It was 80 degrees and sunny yesterday and it's supposed to snow tommorow. Snow?!?!? In near- MArch? 100 miles from Mexico, folks. I live 100 miles from Mexico.

Queenie said...

That daisy in your hair is so cute.

I know what you mean about winter, it feels like it's dragging on forever, we get glimpses of spring only to have them snatched away. But keep the spring outfits coming, they really brighten my day xx

Nina said...

I want to be skinny like you!

Emma Odette Barnett said...

Why do people feel the need to comment on your size? If you were fat they wouldn't say "God you're huge"
No offence to anyone, just a thought... It's often just as much of an insult so say jee you're thin...Think about it people.


Now. What I wanted to come here to say was that you're the cutest ever! I keep thinking surely this girl has to have a bad day or make a bad fashion choice just ONCE but no, always perfect.


Australia is pretty amazing. Probably like your summer when it's winter here :)
But. It was 100 (about 40C) degrees here which is HELL!

The long sweater and miniskirt is such a cool silhouette! It makes a drop-waist-like effect.
