Outfit Highlight: A Pink Coat and a Quilted Bag

Posted on March 23, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

I’m back to layering, my friends. Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s this past weekend. Who’s surprised? Noboby! Needless to say, I’m not too excited about the weather but I am ecstatic about my pink coat and Rebecca Minkoff bag. These are two items that I’ve been wanting to add to my wardrobe for a while.

Besides the fact that I’m crushing on anything pink these days, I always find myself swooning over pink coats and jackets whenever I see them, but I’ve been telling myself that they’re impractical. When I saw this coat on clearance at Forever 21, I had no more excuses. The price was right, it was just the right shade of pink and light enough for chilly spring days. I just love the softness that it adds to this monochrome outfit. Continue reading →

Outfit Highlight: Foxy Polka Dots

Posted on March 16, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

Happy Monday indeed, my friends! It was nice and sunny yesterday and it’s supposed to go up to the mid-60s today. Yay!

I’m so happy about this outfit because there is not a single recent purchase in this entire ensemble. I did some closet revival over the weekend and came up with this brand new combo. My favorite part of this polka dot shirt are the cute little red-tailed foxes interspersed with the white polka-dots. One of my best finds at the Gap. And the red cropped military style jacket from Club Monaco was my first Poshmark purchase. I still remember being super excited about getting it for $15! And do you know how excited I am about wearing a skirt without tights? I can’t even tell you. Continue reading →

Favorite Winter Trends Roundup

Posted on March 12, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

Winter is not over yet but I am so ready to do my favorite winter trends roundup. I have to say, winter is not an easy season for bloggers, especially those of us who live in colder climates. Taking photos outdoors in freezing weather is not my idea of fun and neither my husband’s, my reluctant photographer. So major props to all you ladies who braved thru the frigid temperatures to inspire the rest of us with your amazing outfits.

For this season, I thought I’d do a roundup of my favorite winter essentials. We can’t live without layering, coats, boots, cardigans and scarves in the winter. It was so much fun to see how you ladies styled these basic winter staples and took them to another level. Again, it was super hard to narrow all my favorites down to the few below.

Layering at Its Best

Outfit Highlight: The Art of Layering

Posted on March 9, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

Slip-ons…oh how I’ve missed you! We finally reached temperatures in the 40s over the weekend. I kid you not, there are people going around in shorts as if we’re having beach weather. It’s not quite warm enough to be wearing shorts for me but I did not hesitate to break out my Vans slip-ons. I just couldn’t wait to wear them again.

This is the thing, we’re less than two weeks away from spring but it sure doesn’t look like spring is just around the corner in these parts. My mind, however, has already bid farewell to winter, so I’m trying to forego the heavy winter coat the minute I get the chance. But how do you stay warm in 40 degree weather without a winter coat? Say hello to layering. Continue reading →

Currently on My Radar

Posted on March 4, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

When I look outside, there is no hint of spring. All I see are huge mounds of unmelted snow. But in my mind, I’m already dreaming of warmer weather, open toe sandals, pastel colored tops, white moto jackets and pretty pink dresses. My wish list is growing by the minute. I’m sharing a few items that are already on my radar for this spring. Continue reading →

Outfit Highlight: Working on the Grid

Posted on March 2, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

I’ve been obsessed with grid prints and windowpane prints for a couple of years now. Every time I see an outfit with a grid print piece or see a post about grid/windowpane prints, I automatically zero in my attention. I’ve already featured two windowpane print tops on the blog (as shown below) but I had been wanting a grid/windowpane print bottom for a while. So when I found a grid print skirt during Zara’s end of season sale earlier this year, it seemed like a no-brainer. Of course, I had to get it. Continue reading →

Outfit Highlight: Gold, White and Blue

Posted on February 23, 2015 by My Rose Colored Shades

Happy Monday, my friends!

Do you know what’s harder than coming back from a vacation? Coming back to bitter cold temperatures. Talk about a jolt back to reality! But again, the weather is playing nice and decided to warm up a bit over the weekend, and hence the outdoor photos of me seemingly enjoying the balmy weather.

I don’t know if the mounds of untouched white snow in my backyard was the source of inspiration but, for whatever reason, I was really in the mood for white jeans. Continue reading →
