Brown Florals in Winter - So Right!

Welcome to December, peeps!  Just where has this year gone?

  

My blogging mate Anna has recently written about things that shouldn't be, but are.   (And now that Anna's spotted it, I can reveal that one of her examples was  "And" starting a sentence.) 

It got me thinking of that old song title, 

How Can Something So Right Be So Wrong?

And of course I relate it to my outfits of late. 

Denim skirt, a summer look but winterised by opaques. 

Florals, a summer look but winterised with longer cardis and knee boots (tested out here)

Yes, I've been feeling a tad iconoclastic in my dotage.  Cracking a few of the self-penned Rules For Dressing The Pout.  And you know, it's making me feel good!  I'm feeling "lighter" by trying things which had been consigned to the no-no box.  I even tried shorts this summer.  And they felt good.

Maybe I am just a few posts away from tucking my jeans in knee boots.  Or wearing leggings!

So I ask,  dear reader, how can something so wrong, feel so right?

But back to The Real World.  Pout Dressing as it looks right here, right now.

I was meeting up for a catch-up supper with a lovely couple and when thinking of what to wear on a pretty cold evening, I went a little crazy.  Again.

Floral dress (East), brown longer cardi (Woolovers) and brown knee boots Gabor.

It's a posh frock and it needed being brought down a notch so I tried it with a belt.  The Photographer With Style Views hated it.  I looked like "a sack tied in the middle".  Again.  His ultimate fashion criticism.  And insult.

But undeterred, I insisted he take a photo so that I could see evidence of my big mistake, and I had to give him a scarey face to make him take it.  A pretty threatening look, huh?

I am enjoying stretching myself by discovering new looks, like florals in winter.  I get a big feminine rush when I'm wearing these little dresses with cardis, dresses which would otherwise sit in my wardrobe and come out once or twice for special-ish occasions.

I thank you, Ana of mrsamericanmade. you have inspired me to experiment with summer florals in winter.  And I like the results.  My little dresses do too.

So, in conclusion, ladies, I am rejuvenating my wardrobe, my spirit, and this winter by doing this dress and winter cardi thing.  Why don't you try it?  And let me know how you get on?

A la perchoine.
