This outfit is from Tuesday, two friends and I took a trip to the Ikea in Stoughton, MA for some pleasingly designed home goods, and this is what I wore. Exciting, I know! Actually it was all strategically planned, it's been pretty cold out lately, but I knew I would get too hot walking around inside wearing my normal winter coat, this blanket-like coat was perfect to wear on the way there and then take off. And this wool fisherman's sweater turned out to be plenty warm, with or without the coat! I often find that jeans make me claustrophobic, especially in long car rides, so I wore the most floaty skirt I own. The end result turned out perfect, I was comfortable the whole day. Our little trip was just what I needed, a chance to get out of the house, have some Swedish meatballs and a princess cake, and return home with a few little things to make our home feel refreshed for spring.
I don't know about you, but I cannot wait for warmer weather! It's only 8 degrees outside right now, and I have to head into Boston soon to meet Punky. As much as I'm excited for our day in the city, I don't want to leave my cozy apartment!
Happy Thursday!

I love many things about this outfit: the color combo, the layers and especially that skirt and sweater so cute.
This outfit is awesome! Everything about it is so fabulous, plus that sweater is a favorite!
That skirt is so pretty, wow!
I agree that jeans can get uncomfortable in long car rides. I love this outfit! Where did you find this cute sweater? All the fisherman's sweaters I've found have been huge!

I love this outfit, especially your skirt.
This is such a cute, feminine outfit. I love the textures.
I have an Ikea trip planned in a couple of weeks and I can't wait! I love that place. It is seriously too cold though. I was miserable waiting for the bus this morning.
I have a crush on this outfit, i love it so much! and that coat!
after seeing those boots on you and jen i googled them like mad yesterday but to no avail! :( it's a bummer too because they're so cute!
I love this! That skirt is so pretty, and I love the sweater worn over it. Not to mention that coat is fabulous! I have a patagonia with a pattern just like that!
Very cute! Love the colour of the skirt with those tights.
I can't wait for all this snow to melt so I can start wearing my favourite shoes!

Do you know where you can buy those boots? I've seen them on a couple of fashion blogs but I can't find them for sale anywhere.
I love this! The overall look is so soft, it's very pretty. :]

Cute outfit, love your layering! :)
I love the contrast of the chunky wool and the light chiffon! Your boots are awesome too!

P.S; I bet you'd look gorgeous with the feather House of Harlow ring I'm giving away on my blog now! :D
gorgeous outfit!! i just love the color combo of cream, pale pink and burgundy. i would wear that every day... if i owned anything burgundy. the blanket coat is really awesome too. ~joelle
those boots are amazing and add so much to the outfit. wish i could handle wearing heels. it hurts too much after like 10 minutes so i gave up.
it was terribly cold today but I admired you ability to wear a dress! It was delightful formally meeting you today, I have been a big fan of your blog for quite a while!
I want that coat more than I have wanted something in a long time. I would swap my harmonica for that coat. It's like it's my spirit in coat format!
Is there any chance you could tell me the brand so I can see if ebay has it?
Love your outfit as well, as always, of course ;)
Just the coat kind of stole the show!
I like how trans-seasonal this look is. Floaty skirt for spring and fisherman jumper for winter. Great coat too. You always wear such pleasing off-colours, I always find it hard to stray from black.
that coat!! i love it
yeay for swedish princess cake! my favorite!
girl i'm in allston, mass and i'm so sick of it too! it's been fun watching what you wear and being in the same weather as me all winter.
Great jumper - I can't believe it was thrifted! We sell cable knit jumpers in my vintage shop and they're really popular at the moment, but most gals find them too baggy in the arms. I have to explain it's because they were originally made for blokes with big biceps.
I love your style and how you always stay true to it. Love your blog (and so badly want that owl talon necklace you wear all the time. I gotta get one soon!
I love the knit of your sweater and the colour of your skirt and tights together :)
I dreamt about Ikea last night.. I am always trying to buy the last of something at Ikea in my dreams. I wish I'd get over the sleep retail frenzie and just crack open a dream packet of swedish fish instead yum.
I love those shoes (boots?) Every time you...or jen of jenloveskev wear them I swoon. Where can i find them? I've looked and looked...
I love your jacket! I have been looking for an indian print jacket like that for so long but no luck yet. this outfit as a whole is just darling! and I'm sure you hear this all the time but your hair is amazing! I also have really thick hair (but not quite as thick as yours) and you are such a hair inspiration! so glad I found your blog :)

Those boots are adorable! The colors of these are so dreamy winter and beautiful! I know what you mean about wanting spring though :) I would want it even more if I lived in a place that has the kind of winter that you do!
I swear, in everyone of your posts I can't get over hour GORGEOUS your hair is!! Its so beautiful and makes me want to grow my hair out again!
I'm loving the burgundy tights with the soft, pretty skirt. And I'm totally digging the aztec-y print of the coat. Excellent!
Another awesome outfit.
I love the sweater with that flowy dress. You have a knack for mixing textures. Ultimate inspiration!

I absolutely love the gradual colour change from top to bottom <3
I love your flowy skirt (and the philosophy behind it!).
And I love how all of the colors in the outfit mimic the jacket.
Perfect for a day trip!
