WIW: Walk and Library

Mr. SF and I spent the afternoon walking around the neighbour where we are staying in Montreal. We went to the Mordecai-Richler Library which is a converted church. The original architecture and stained glass windows have been preserved. Apparently you can borrow musical instruments. Wonderful atmosphere.

Gorgeous! Hair is on point, jeans and sweater are those perfect fitting essentials that make an outfit look chic all by themselves, red parka looks great. All around fab!

Jealous that you can wear turtle necks. They are so chic. You look cozy, polished and uber stylish!

Thank you, Shevia. I use to feel that my style was too boring but I am embracing the minimalistic look.
Sal, thank you for asking. I have mostly recovered. Still coughing a bit. The sweater was a great find. This is the first time wearing it after having it for a year.
Rachy,
Kelly, this is the first turtleneck I have worn in decades. I hate things around my neck. This seemed to be okay. I didn't feel like tearing it off after 5 minutes.
Bridgie, thank you.
Cardiff girl, thank you. Warm is good here.

We are amazed at how warm it is in Montreal. Usually, it would be extremely cold but the days have been sunny and gorgeous. So nice to walk around.

Rachy, chocolate brown is one of my favourites. A nice warm brown has been so hard to find that I jump on it when I see it.

LOVE your new cut and the rich brown is a great color on you (and it is a fab combo with the pop of orange and your denim)! Hope you are feeling better!

Perfectly polished and casual for a walk ... Lovely view from your windows!

Nemosmom, thank you! I am feeling better. Definitely on the mend. Yes, orange and brown are lovely together.
TG, we do have a great view. Mr. SF thinks it is the best view in Montreal. He might be right.

Your new hair looks great and so do these "utilitarian chic" outfits! It's the perfect style blend for you. Also, that orange parka in Montreal snow = perfection.

Lovely hair style - love the brightness of parka ( the faux fur on the hood compliments the hair ).

NIf you ever go to Salida, CO, there is an Air B&B converted church to stay in within easy walking distance of lots of great stuff. DS and family did a dog sled trip nearby. Salida is a great get away spot, a charming small mountain town near Colorado Springs.

Gorgeous! You are true to your style and palette and you look beautiful. Your new hair is perfect.

I love the new hair, it is quite a change, yet also so true to your style at the same time. I admire how you evolve your style, yet maintain a consistent vibe that is casual and very chic. I also think this about Kellygirl's style too. Both of you have great poise, immaculate grooming and fit of clothing - so that really makes even the most casual sweater and jeans outfit look special.

A library where you can borrow musical instruments?! I’d love to see what they loan out. You look perfect. I love the colors and your hair is gorgeous.

Re picture: if you can take a live picture on an iphone, you can choose which individual picture to use, and maybe one without your eyes closed. I have to do that from time to time.

JAileen, I want to check out the libraries in Montreal. They have some great ones. We will go back to that one and I will see what musical instruments they have. I don't play one but I want to learn the piano. Apparently, there is a piano that you can play. I don't want to play in front of people for a long, long time.
Mr. SF has done the pictures as you describe. We have Androids. I am not sure how he did it.
Bijou, thank you! I am flattered. Kelly always has an amazing style. I do think good grooming goes a long way and helps so much.
Katerina, you are so nice. Made my day.
Okay, Joy, dog sledding. We are on it! I love converted buildings. Churches, factories, you name it. We have looked at lofts in factories and churches. Unfortunately, we are not ready to downsize.
Suntiger, the coat is warm and one of our colours.
Inge, thank you so much. I love libraries too. Such a nice ambience.
Slim cat, the faux fur does match my hair.
Smittie, Adriana, Suz and Angie thank you so much. I am so flattered.
