Patterns and Neutrals

on
Welcome to week three of the Style Perspective, last week we did the white pants thing. And it snow. Actually it has been snowing ever since. Hmmmmmmmm.  I love seeing how ladies of different ages, sizes, career paths and climate styled the white pant!

Also I have really been loving seeing how different women style their outfits on Instagram.   Here are my top three outfits found either on Instagram or in texts sent to me:

You'll have to head over to the Blended Blog to see how had the top clicks last week but also to see who we're taking our inspiration from this week.  We're working on patterns and neutrals today, which worked out fabulously for me because it was a chance for me to style the new dress I just got from Anthropologie.    This isn't how I wanted to style it, really we thought we had spring in the bag, but no, in typical Saskatchewan fashion, it snowed. All week.  So I had to adapt the dress with tights and tall boots.  Sigh.   I have to admit, the pretty falling snow was nice to photograph!

So, as I said, I wanted to wear this initially with bare legs and nude flats, but snow.  Winter number 3 of 2016, sigh.  So I took a couple shots indoors........I wish I could take my pictures at the beginning of the day when my makeup is still somewhat on.

Shop the look:


And for a little bit of fun, I should share that right after that little in the house photoshoot- I let Lucia and Willis loose with the remote and timer.  They were happily entertained for 30 minutes and I successfully made supper in the time. Bonus? They had their clothes on in ALL of the photos!  Let's not talk about the time Willis found the mini Ipad video camera and proceeded to dance around naked.......

    My first thought when I came to your page was "oh good, Deena wore colour" so Now I don't feel so bad about wearing the amount of colour I wore. Your dress is gorge and your kids are adorable.

    That dress is SO pretty, you are gorgeous, and I love the snow pictures. I'm sure you're tired of snow, but the pictures are so good. I think you should include kid camera every week because I was very entertained :)!

    How cold were you taking those photos?!?! I am cold just looking at you. I actually quite like the dress with leggings and boots! I need a spring patterned top. Add it to the list. Along with flats that lace up and a denim dress.

    I love that dress! I know snow is annoying - but your snow pictures are so pretty. Your kiddos are too cute - and Lucia has the fashion poses down. (I had to laugh a bit at the beginning of your post - I also wrote we were on week 3 - and then realized - we are actually on week 4; how can it be week 4 already?!?)

    Oh that floral dress is lovely! It looks great layered up for the snow just as it does how you'd wear it for warmer weather. I like dresses like that, that work for multiple seasons! :)

    Even though that is a floral print on your dress, I could still see dancing, flurrying snowflakes in it, too. Your snow pictures are magical. But it is time for that snow to go!

    I love this Anthropologie dress on you, super pretty and perfect for spring! I love pics with snow, hopefully you'll get spring weather soon! I know how you feel though we have a snow/ice storm today in Toronto! Hoping it gets better here soon. Thanks for hosting & for stopping by:)

    That dress is perfect!! You look beautiful....and it looks great with the flats and the boots!! A multi-season dress!!

  38. bojanakrienke23 March 2016 at 23:35

    I agree 100% with Katile Michell that the dress is multi-seasonal as it looks great with boots and flats. It can also be dressed up for a date night with some heels or worn casually around the city during our summer festivals. Love the dress and you are all making me want to get out my spring/summer wardrobe even more than I did before, but I am just not feeling it with the slush and the snow.

    Wow! I canNOT believe it's still so wintry up in your parts! Those pics came out GREAT and I love the one where you're catching snowflakes on your tongue. I do that EVERY time I go to Colorado. That dress looks fabulous on you and I like both ways you styled it! Sei bellissima!

    Your watercolor swing floral dress is gorgeous. While I love it with bare legs (of course) it looks just as nice in the Wintery outfit with the gray tights and boots. Lucia is a pretty girl with a very pretty name. Thanks for linking up, Deena. =)
