Winter Colours
Yesterday was our first proper snow day. I had booked a table for two at a lovely bistro that evening. But first I needed to survive my last day in the office before the New Year. I didn’t want to bring a change of clothes, but I didn’t want to be boring either. Actually, I wanted to be a bit brave and make good my decision to add some colour into my daily wardrobe.
I decided on this lovely paint splash dress I got from Blue Inc, slid on a cinch belt (they improve almost everything) and covered my shoulders with my fave versatile blazer to ‘office it up’. I also dug out my reliable yet stylish winter boots. These babies’ 3+ inch heels work the snow and ice, because while living in Switzerland I took them to a shoe repair guy, who put treads on them that would rival Goodyear car tyres. There’s a tip for you, make these people your friends.
I was so surprised how well this outfit worked. I got complimented so much, it definitely pays to be creative. I never really thought I could pull off such a colourful dress, especially against a stark white background of snow. A sure winner for my Christmas evening outfit.

That is really a gorgeous dress! The colours are gorgeous and look especially nice against the snow.
Alas what fell here barely counts as snow at all!

Leeds snow wasn’t as good as York snow, ha ha :)
Florrie’s right, though – that dress is stunning in the snow :)
