This is a super simple outfit, but I liked how nicely polished it looks. Sometimes less is more, I guess. I’m still of the more-is-better mentality (especially when it comes to colour and print) but I’m willing to concede exceptions.

I threw on a blazer for my hearing, both for appearances’ sake and to stave off the cold. I think the powers that be are trying to ensure we all stay awake by turning down the thermostat way low. Smart but also … brrr. This thrifted Theory number actually worked out better than expected, picking up some of the cooler undertones of the necklace.

Also, check out my awesome thrifted J. Crew collection pumps. They’re quite furry, which makes me (a) think of Cinderella, and (b) absent-mindedness pet them from time to time. I just hope they don’t start shedding like crazy, like my last pair of calf hair leopard pumps.

Folks, we have another contender for a Fave Outfit. I just love everything about this, I won’t even try to pretend. It’s definitely a more of a “fall” colour palette than a “spring” one but I’m ok with that. The mustard yellow cords look great with my Regent blazer, but the piece de resistance is definitely my new-to-me Mulberry Jody bag.

Do I need a gold bag shiny enough to substitute for a disco ball? Probably not, but I couldn’t resist it’s shiny goodness, or the really great price (a rare thing for us Canadians, what with the exchange rate *sob*). Mulberry bags are something of a weakness of mine (well, bags in general but you know what I mean) so I’m excited to have a new golden child to play with. See what I did there? Hah!

I rarely wear outfits made out of head-to-toe new pieces, but this one came close. I finally found a new pair of jeans! And they’re Joe’s jeans, a brand I’ve heard other bloggers rave about; I got this pair for about $40 at Red Pony (a local consignment store). They’re about 3 inches too long, but that should be an easy fix –otherwise, I can see why this is a popular brand. They fit nicely, and make my butt look good. Sorry, no pictures.

The sweater is also new — an impulse buy from Joe Fresh. I guess I have a thing for vaguely fisherman-y knits. I love the heathered grey colour and the hi-lo hem, and was intrigued by the sleeveless aspect. I think there are a lot of layering options to explore with this piece, but I kept it safe this time with a black top. Wah wah.

Holt’s jewelry clearance section strikes again. I finally got my hands on a Lulu Frost necklace — hurray! Of course, I messed up and totally didn’t get a good shot of it. Oops! I’m sure that will be rectified in no time … I have a feeling I’ll be wearing this piece quite a bit.
