We're having our second bout of cold weather here in Atlanta....or maybe that is wishful thinking. More than likely, the cold is settling in for good. It’s surprising how suddenly it descends. Just a couple days ago it was warm enough for me to wear this outfit. Initially, I also wore jeggings but as soon as I stepped outside, it was clear that they were unnecessary. I ended up wearing just the sweater over this thin cotton dress. I did take a blazer in case I was out at night when the temperature would drop. The sweater is a favourite of mine. It’s fuchsia and has little pom pom’s in the front - a playful detail that helps keep me happy during the colder months. I donned the black hat and bag as well as loads of brass jewelry to prevent things from becoming too saccharine. Although, they are out of view in these photos, I did wear shoes! ;)

Do you relegate bright colours to the warmer months or do you, like me, enjoy breaking this fashion rule?

• Sweater, dress, hat & bag thrifted

• Jewellery-collected from various sources (mostly, handmade)
