Is there any end to this winter? It is going to be -24C Monday morning and it is March 3! The spring is definitely got lost somewhere. I read in the local newspaper that our city snow removal activity was already 25% over the average yearly budget in February. It is really a brutal winter...but I saw robins in the park today so spring should not be far behind!

I have received my JCrew order and now I can give a try to this ensemble. I was a bit hesitant to order a yellow sweater on final sale when I did not see the color in person but I risked it and I think it works - what do you think?

I guess I was in a mood for brighter colors this week to fight the winter gloom.
This red tunic just filled the bill.

I have already posted this outfit as an illustration of a disastrous implementation of Angie's formula. The sweater is fluid enough but the weight is very thin so it clings a lot to the shirt. It drove me crazy all day to adjust it and I will not be wearing these Tippi sweaters layered over shirts again. I will stick to wearing them on their own or layering them under toppers which they are great for being lightweight and having 3/4 sleeves.

This JCrew sweater was a much bigger risk than a yellow one: at least for Tippi I was sure about the size and style. This cashmere framed long sleeve tee in heather pebble was a complete wild card for me. Not sure about size, not sure about style, have no idea what this color really is (beige? blush? stone? totally not a color I usually wear) and final sale. Can it get any crazier than that?
Well it came and I think it is a winner. The cashmere is nice and lightweight, the size is just right for a fluid fit and I love the black piping. I am still not sure what this color is - pinky beige? barely blush? - but I don't think it is too horrid on me and I like it with whites and light neutrals like taupe and grey. I think it will also work with black and I just love my dove satchel with it. What do you think?

Another FFBO for the arctic vortex of skinnies tucked into tall boots and a tunic. This is an exact repeat of what I wore before but if it works why change -right?
