touch of gold (tone)

It's still sweater weather and it's getting depressing.  Especially because I'm still wearing my wool coat on top of it (and still cold!).  It was so cold and rainy today (I shot this picture on the weekend when it was actually sunny) and the only thing getting me through this miserable weather is wearing brights, like these ZARA pants.  (And large Tim Hortons teas.)  Of course I fell in love with these Pierre Hardy pumps because they're pink, but also because they have a gold-tone plated heel, which makes them unique.  I added my adorable MICHAEL Michael Kors handbag with gold-tone hardware and some gold-tone jewellery to tie it all together.

slouchy & cuffed

I'm not normally one to buy pants because I'm petite and it's a hassle having to hem them (plus, I'm a girlie girl and love skirts and dresses).  But for some reason (maybe it's because I'm getting really tired of the freezing cold weather lately), I'm really into pants.  I ordered a pair of yellow pants from zara.com recently and they fit perfectly, so I ordered these blue ones that I also had my eye on in the same size.  These fit looser and I probably could go down a size but then I decided I like the slouchy fit.  They are even a bit too long (even though they're "cropped"), which I thought might be a reason to return them, but I love them so much I decided they were worth hemming.  Then as I was looking online for some inspiration for my outfits this week, I noticed a lot of cuffed pants (whether self-cuffed or not, I'm not sure) so I decided to self-cuff these and voila! - a pair of unintentionally slouchy, cuffed pants that are my new favourite.  (Plus, these give me room to eat a cupcake, or two.)

 I've definitely been having a blue moment lately, so when I saw these Zara peep toe wedges, I fell instantly in love.  (They also have them in coral, which I'm also loving this spring so I might have to pick them up as well.)  Of course, the first thing I thought to pair with my new shoes was my blue GAP khakis.  I love these pants so much I think I might buy them in every colour (I already have them in red, previously seen here).  I'm already thinking ahead to my next outfit: wearing these pants and shoes with this blue Madewell top.  I was never into the matchy-matchy look, but I see it everywhere and now am obsessed with it!
