Hints of colour

 

In these colder months I used to have the tendency to gravitate between black and grey and ignore that all other colours existed and are fun to wear in winter too. This year though, I seem to almost never leave without something with a bit of colour in it, be it a bright red lipstick and burgundy hues in a scarf and matching socks, like in this day, or wearing my much loved Topshop red duffle coat or some bright coloured tights (with much amusement to myself noticing the lady staring at my bright yellow legs+Docs combo on the tube!). I confess I wore this only to some grocery shopping, and added the lipstick because even the double burgundy didn't seem like it was enough colour. Not that this day needed any more brightening, you can see from my squinting eyes that there were enough sun. I am really disappointed at winter this year actually, not because of the extra sun of course, but because these mild temperatures since Christmas, are making me crazy! I wanted at least one day of snow, I even got Dr Martens, as a gift, yes, but they are totally the best snow boots ever aren't they?

PPS: The only sales buy I did, an order from UO, arrived yesterday, and I am super excited with my new tweed pinafore dress and leather and suede brogues! Can't wait to wear them :)
