Did I mention I love snow? It was coming down steadily all day Sunday, and I couldn't resist going out for a little promenade in the swirling flurries of snowflakes. There's just something so, so fun about crunching through freshly fallen, powdery snow. It was cold though - colder than the previous day - and I can tell you I was glad of my layers of cashmere and wool.
We wandered to one of the two nearby Victorian cemeteries, which was so wonderfully serene covered in a soft, sparkling layer of white. We strolled around a while, enjoying the peaceful stillness of the place and the quiet beauty of carved Victorian memorials under the still-falling snow.

Sadly the snow has all since melted, but fingers crossed it might snow again before the winter is over - snowy outfit posts are fun!
I like those crochet tights! I have recently started buying mine from TK Maxx (Greenford) - they cost about the same as New Look but are more upmarket brands so last longer.
ReplyDeleteA really gorgeous outfit. Love the red against the white of the snow.
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome snow outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!!! :) I especially adore the cape! Someone recently gifted me a big, heavy wool cape, and I so wish I had gotten it cleaned before it really turned cold here (it's full of dust right now! ;) ). But like you said: we still have plenty of winter left! hehe!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! I must hunt down that fabulous umbrella. I have a black and white dogtooth wool cape that I haven't worn yet because I'm too scared to wear it in public.
ReplyDeleteoh do wear it - you'll get nothing but compliments, I guarantee!

And here I thought your post might be about the Revlon lipstick of the same name. lol!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! Such a bright spot with all the snow behind you. All the black/gray/red is delightful and that cape is just amazing!
Haha I wondered if anyone would spot the connection! I would like to say I was wearing the lipstick too, but sadly I wasn't :)

Magnificent! Stylishly, sweetly snowflake covered, endlessly magnificent - and so, so timelessly pretty!

You are so endlessly stylish but I swear you excel in the winter.
ReplyDeleteAlso, any Doctor Who fans will be seriously creeped out by this post ;)
DON'T BLINK!
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd those tombstones are really amazing.
How LOVELY! I love cherry patterns and red against snow. DREAMY!
ReplyDeleteHaha, my first thought was lipstick, too! You look very dashing. I love looking round old graveyards, always fascinating. I am absolutely as cross as anything, we haven't had so much as a flake, now it's back to damn rain, it is soooo unfair!
ReplyDeleteSo Glamorous in the snow - love it!

Don't Blink! (sorry I watch too much Doctor Who)
ReplyDeleteI am so jelous of your hair. If I was out in the snow it would be flat and lifeless after 5 seconds.
