I finally experienced cold in California, and I must say… It’s wonderful. It’s ironic that it takes the worst California weather to cheer me up the most. The cold outside, the rain coming down, and the sun poking through just enough to remind me of the beautiful days that are just around the corner. Maybe it’s all in my mind, or maybe, just maybe, California is letting me know that everything is going to be alright. Thank you California, I got the message.

This is what I wore to class today. It got a little chiller the past two days so I had to give silk dresses a rest – albeit a very short one. I have a contracts mid-term coming up in a week so my posts will likely be a little short on words but I’ll do something special on FashionistaTalk after it’s over. Maybe an extra giveaway? We’ll see…

For my Russian Readers:

Это то, в чём я ходила сегодня в университет. Вот уже два дня, как похолодало, таким образом, я была вынуждена дать шелковым платьям отдохнуть, хотябы ненадолго. Через неделю у меня контрольная по контрактам, я усиленно готовлюсь к ней и поэтому, буду немногословна, но когда всё это закончится, я что-то интересное придумаю на FashionistaTalk; розыграем новый приз или что-то в этом духе. Посмотрим …

After finishing this post I will be driving out to see an old friend of mine, Alissa, who just had a baby. I haven’t seen her since she moved outside of Toronto to the countryside in preparation for her little one. For as long as I could remember she has been a quintessential “city girl,” a fashionable “from lattes to pilates” kind of chica. She keeps insisting that I need a GPS to find her now . It will be interesting to see her outside of her element, and considering that she is planning on moving back soon the opportunity won’t last too long.

Today’s-look-of-the-day is filled with chocolate hues. The pattered shirt is the visually dominant piece and the rest of the garments were chosen with this in mind. The vest, top, tights, and pumps are relatively simple and are congruent with the skirt in their colour tonality. Patterns are fun but should be approached with caution because competing patterns are often a recipe for a messy disaster.

What I’m wearing:

High-waisted pencil skirt by “DIANE von FURSTENBERG” (as seen in Nov. 12’09)
Silk top by “Rory Beca” (as seen in Dec. 11’09, Dec. 28’09)
Opaque tights by “Holt Renfrew”
Knitted vest and scarf by “Marciano” (as seen in Nov. 24’09)
Suede pumps by “6267″ (as seen in Jan. 10’10)
Gold necklace and earrings
