The Outfit
Coat, Shoes & Bag – Next // Dress – Zara
Do you ever feel like only darker coloured clothes are more suitable for those winter nights? I used to, not any more. ‘I felt like it was some rule that someone made up and everyone just automatically conformed.’ Well its time to break that rule, step out of your comfort zone and chose some lighter colour options for your winter wardrobe. Don’t worry I don’t mean picking out white or anything like that Im talking about pink tones. Come on baby steps for now!
Something about pink makes me so happy maybe its because I’m a girl and I love pink in general but maybe its because pink is such a versatile colour and just lightens everyones mood in general. I am also a very big lover of the dusky pink tones too. I am definitely going to stock up on a few winter pieces this season in this colour. I paired this baby pink wool coat from Next with a floral dress from Zara to give it a more fun vibe, winter isn’t all about jeans and jumpers you know.
With the mornings getting darker I am really struggling to get up each morning especially after coming home from Florida just over a week ago. Trying to adjust to the cold and then throwing in the dark mornings too was such a shock to my system. Even though I love the winter nights [as long as its cold and dry!] snuggling up in my favourite winter coats and knits, I’m much more of a summer girl at heart so adjusting to winter is always a big thing for me especially as I am such a ‘freezer’.
So what more could you want other than to start the dark days with a lighter colour coat option? It won’t only make your morning a little easier by not going straight for all the dark colours but it will lift your spirits, you would be pleasantly surprised.
So make a change this winter and put down that navy or black coat and go for something lighter and more fun and it will change your mood and kick start your day for the better.
