WIW for a snowy day in spring

Hello everyone, first I would like to apologize for being MIA for the past five days. Work has been ridiculous: I went to work Wednesday 7am and left Friday 11pm, with a short 4h break for nap on Thursday afternoon. I have spent pretty much the whole weekend recovering and not doing much of anything. It is snowing here today, which is quite unusual for this time of the year. So I tried to go for a mix of winter and spring themes. Recently in a thread on how to wear oxblood in spring there was advice to pair it with baby blue which I put into action here, with the Gibson blazer and BR shirt. I added my brand new Rock&Republic tuxedo striped faded jeans. These were a great recent clearance find, and I sized up one size for a looser fit. To finish it off, tan boots that bookend my hair and a matching belt. As always, all comments and feedback welcome.

I love your advice to pair oxblood and baby blue! I have oxblood jeans that I thought I would have to retire for the spring.

You are the master of tuxedo stripe jeans, love that, they just add to your leg length! The blazer is just a perfect shape on you and it is perfectly paired with the boots. Love this outfit Tanya!

Such a perfect combo. Love the oxblood and cognac - seems to refer to equestrienne style.

Love this warm color combo. You look great!

How can you look so KILLER after such a rough work schedule! Loving the hues of cognac mixed with burgundy, and the tux striping. Rest up. xo

I hope you've recovered from your rough week! Your outfit looks great and I love the jacket paired with the boots.

Tina, i hope you rest up a lot this week. This is a great outfit with such an interesting colour combo, oxblood and baby blue.

Love the tux stripes in this, Tanya. The colors are soft and pretty on you. Fantastic silhouette and I love the boots. You look terrific!

I like this a lot! Gives me some ideas for transitioning my Gibson blazer into spring. Sounds like a rough week, hope you got a lot done.

Thank you very much ladies! I am still recovering, my sleep schedule is completely messed up. It is a much slower process now that iI am n my mid-thirties sadly. When I was in my 20s I could do one or two all nighters almost every week and snap back pretty fast. Looks that those days are longone.

I have really enjoyed wearing this outfit. The jeans have loosened up some, and since they were already a size up, they ended up being quite roomy. Not exactly BF yet, but more relaxed fit and I can treat them as I would BF jeans for outfits. And I have a confession to make: this is my fourth pair of tuxedo jeans and I have two pairs of tuxedo pants too! No more tuxedo bottoms for me, though I reserve the right to get some tuxedo-inspired tops.

What a gorgeous color combination Tanya! And that Gibson blazer is just beautiful on you - talk about a fantastic fit.

You rock the tux striped jeans, no wonder you keep buying them! Great job making the oxblood work for spring; I can't believe how much snow everyone is still reporting. Crazy! I hope you can get some rest.
