I'm obsessing over pastels for spring so even though it's not quite spring weather yet (it's actually quite freezing today), I'm finding any way of fitting pastels into my wardrobe.  I think this GAP sweater is such a beautiful colour.  It goes with so many things.  It's lightweight so you can still wear it when it starts to get mild out.  I bought this ZARA snow leopard skirt a year or so ago, but love this Parker Fawn Siberian Snow Leopard Print Dress.  I think it would look great with some pastel pumps or a pastel cardigan.  Because this skirt is on the shorter side, I paired it with these adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs kitty loafers.  Also, because it's Monday.

{wool coat: ZARA}

I'm not sure if I got food poisoning from the delicious brunch I posted on Instagram (see right), or if I caught the bug my daughter had, but I've been feeling ill ever since.  So I haven't been up for taking pictures.  But when I do get a chance to take pictures, I'm not sure how that's going to work because it's SO cold already here in Canada.  (Oh, to live in California.  Or Hawaii.)  I don't really feel like wearing anything but sweatshirts and sweatpants and stay by a warm fire, it's already that cold.  But since I have to brave the outdoors, I thought I should invest in a new wool coat.  I really don't think the jackets I bought recently are going to cut it, which is such a shame.  But I hate the cold and I hate to be cold.  

I normally stay away from black coats because I find them boring and if you look around, mostly everyone is wearing one, so I usually opt for white (my last 2 coats in a row, at least).  So I was surprised when I went shopping today and came across this Zara one that I could not resist.  The details on the coat make it interesting and it fits so well on my petite frame.  (The price is great too, compared to most wool coats I saw).  Hopefully, pictures will follow shortly.
