This is what I wore last week when it was actually warm in the SE. This week? Well, I probably shouldn't complain considering most of the rest of the country is bundled up under several inches of snow or freezing rain, but having lived in the southern half of the States for the last few years has made me a little soft to cool weather.
So temps in the 40s this week which I know is not even that cold - except it is has me layering like crazy, turning the inside heat up, clasping mugs of hot tea, breaking out the fuzzy Uggs, sleeping in leggings, even trying wooly sweaters on my 50lb dog - hey, I'm not the only one that gets cold around here. What's got my vote right now for possible best invention ever? Electric blankets.
Stay warm, ladies!
Blazer: Zara check (worn here - sim, sim)

Great combo Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI just tried that neclace youre wearing yesterday at the store:)
Did you like it? I didn't think much of it online, but saw it in-store then couldn't stop thinking about it. I think this will be my go-to necklace for the holidays!
DeleteAaaahhh! I love this outfit so much!! I gotta dig out my own berry wool skirt and then wear my purple cardigan backwards to copy you haha! Seriously super cute. And hey, I get you about the cold. I'm from Norway, and I still can't handle it when the temperature dips even a little bit. We are flying off to Berlin for the weekend and although it's only minus 2 Celsius I am bringing the warmest sweater I own, a massive UniQlo coat and snowboots! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's 28 degrees F! That's cold!
DeleteHmm 40F is 4 degrees so to me that's kind of cold yes! It was 11 degrees today when I got in the car and the whole way to work I was marvelling at how mild it is.... I like double figures (unless they are minus double figures in which case mother nature can suck it)
ReplyDeleteHa!
DeleteLove the pop of the leopard print shoes.
ReplyDeleteI'm an absolute baby about the cold too. It's barely in the 50's here and I'm already bringing out all my thermal shirts and fleece-lined leggings (though in my defense, 50's in Hanoi is pretty damn cold. Elementary schools are closed if it gets below 50.)
I remember being in Hong Kong in February and the locals were literally wearing puffer coats while us visitors from the States were wearing tees and light jackets at night!
DeleteSo bright and cheerful this outfit is! :D Stay warm!

I am entirely in love with your outfit. Those colours are fabulous together, and the leopard print pumps and glitzy necklace make it perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the JCF merino sweater like? I have been thinking of ordering one (JC has just opened in London, but obviously doesn't carry those sweaters!). I love the shape but am cautious of ordering something trans-Atlantically when I can't handle it myself.
Hi Phillippa - I would equate the factory charley sweaters to the retail tippi ones, though I find the merino tippis that come out in the cooler months to be a wee bit thicker than the merino charley sweaters. The lighter hues can be a bit sheer and because it is a lighter weight sweater, lumpy underlayers will show, but it comes in a bunch of colors and I light it as an easy piece to wear while traveling because I can throw a blazer or big cardigan over it and be fine. I hope this helps!
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI'd kill for 40 degrees right about now! Yesterday was only 28 degrees and tomorrow we're getting another round of snow/sleet/rain.
ReplyDeleteI love the jewel tone colors you're wearing, so pretty!

Necklace Giveaway!
I'm going back to the NE for the holidays so I guess I will need to bring my snow boots!
DeleteAbsolutely LOVE this outfit! The colors together are perfect & I love the pop of leopard.
ReplyDelete40 is definitely still cold (although I would love to hit 40 right about now). The worst part for us though is this disgusting inversion that traps all the smog in the valley & it just sits there & doesn't go anywhere. It's absolutely awful & definitely the worst part of winter in the Salt Lake valley.
Have a great weekend! Stay warm!
For me, winter in the SE is just dreary wet days. Sometimes I feel like I don't see the sun for weeks in the cold months!
DeleteMy pup has been wrapped up in blankets lately. He really is a wimp when it comes to the cold but I can't blame him! Another great invention? Sweater tights. And I can't believe it took me this long to try them.
ReplyDeleteI need to find some fleece leggings, I bet I can get into that!
DeleteLove the pink/red shades in this outfit! And yeah, 40 would be nice, it's only in the 20's here! Brrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteHa, I sleep in leggings all year around! Isn't your sweater the "it" color for 2014? You're way ahead on that and looking fab :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, is it? I AM way ahead of myself and didn't even know it, haha!
DeleteLove this look! You're straight out of a Jcrew catalog, perfectly styled!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteThese colors are just lovely on you Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThat color is gorgeous on you! So punchy for these frigid months!
ReplyDeleteBerries are delicious and also great as a colour palette. :) I totally just ordered that necklace because of you...
ReplyDeleteVirtual necklace twins! ;o)
Deleteyou look so chic! love the pink sweater

Love your pink top, bright and cheerful :-)
ReplyDeleteThese colors are so pretty. I love cool toned colors best.

I love the colours! I get cold just looking at those bare legs. We have snow now : ( How depressing.

(Un)Fortunately we rarely get snow in the SE, it just rains. So I really shouldn't complain about the cold! ;o)
DeleteI love this color scheme and the necklace is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the berry hues look with leopard!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think I need that leopard bracelet.
Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color. Love that necklace. We're expecting rain here. The weather is crazy.

ReplyDeleteHuge fan of your style- I'm a new Follower :)

Aw, thanks, Jamie!
DeleteYes! Electric blankies are way better 'n sliced bread! Legging under jeans, faux Uggs from Payless, and even wearing a hat to bed have all happened to, er, a friend.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are so restful. I never get tired of looking at your J. Crew necklaces - such perfect bling!
Much love,
Lynne
My pup LOVES the electric blanket. She can just lay all stretched out on top of the bed in the middle of winter and be cozy!
DeleteGod, you look so good in that pink. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hate cold weather. Why does it exist??? LOL. I am such a wimp.
I love the vibrant colors in your outfit! And I'm a baby about cold too. But I live in Michigan, so when I wake up lately it's been 10 degrees outside. Horrible!
ReplyDeleteThese colors together make me think of pie and froyo. And that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteStunning as always, Lisa, and I especially love the thoughtful accessory additions. I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times: you are my accessory guru. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you. ;p

Perfect outfit. I love these colours together it's so stunning. Beautiful shoes and necklace too
ReplyDeleteLove this monochromatic color palette - it's such a great way to bring a bright or unexpected color into the office without it being overwhelming. And, of course, the leopard print shoes are perfect. When are they ever not?!
ReplyDeleteWhoever said leopard is a neutral is right! ;o)
DeleteI love these colors together, especially with the leopard shoes and pretty necklace! Thanks for the amazing inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in this color. 40degrees? wow I wish is was that warm where I am, it has been in the negatives! Crazy!!
ReplyDeleteBrrrr, I have become such a cold wimp!

ReplyDeleteLove this color combo. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! It has been in the 60s and 70s here. We are all wearing scarves and boots. I cannot imagine 40s. I love the cold, so I would probably he happy!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your doggie dressed up!
Great shoes!
Jenni
I admit I have a quilted jacket for my pup that she will wear happily, however anything I put on her head - no go!
DeleteI loooooove my electric blanket. Just don't spill on it haha. I love this berry ensemble! I feel like berry is the girl who loves pink best option for holiday dressing besides the obvious red. Your gradient of berry is so lovely.

Yeah, I have no clue to keep an electric blanket clean, but they are too nice!
DeleteAmazing color combination Lisa. I love it when unexpected colors work together.
ReplyDeleteI berry much love this look! (is that dumb? yeah, that's dumb.)
ReplyDeleteHowever these colors pair so perfectly and your leopard pumps always have me envious.
Chic on the Cheap
It's berry nice, Lyddie! (I love dumb stuff like that, haha)
Deleteahh i love this outfit! the color combo is so pretty!! love the bright pop on top and more muted berry color on the bottom! so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks much, Terry! I'm flattered!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is SO inspiring! I feel like I am drawn to the same colors in winter (tan, black, grey, red) but you somehow manage to pull off super bright colors and still make them look winter-appropriate! I LOVE this berry outfit.
ReplyDeleteXo, Hannah
