It’s officially the bleakest part of winter over in my neck of the woods, and you can stick a fork in me because I’m done with it.  To help shake off the winter blues,  decided to add some punchy colors into the mix instead of the blacks and grays that I’ve been favoring as of late.

This pink coat that I snatched up on super sale at J. Crew has to be my favorite purchase of the season.  It instantly jazzes up a look without much effort.  And effort is generally something I don’t have much of to spare as I’m dashing off to work in the morning!

What go-to pieces do you rely on this winter to help spice up your look?

I’m sort of obsessed with today’s outfit.  This sweater is one of my favorites (see how I wore it here). Winter’s been pretty mild here, so I was able to dust off my pink maryjanes a little earlier than expected. Pink shoes always make for a good day in my book.  After my recent foray into the world of bib collars (aka dickeys), I decided to delve even further with this bejeweled collar.  It adds just the right touch of bling and sweetness to an outfit.

It’s not often that I don activewear, but I was dying to get some use out of my new kicks.  I remember the last time I wore wedge sneakers very clearly.  It was my first day of high school, and I wanted to look cool… but not like I was trying too hard.  That time around, I paired my white canvas kicks (something akin to these) with a denim vest and a floral sundress (hey, it was the 90s!).
