Hi everyone and happy Fashion Friday!
The weather finally warmed up a bit yesterday and it felt delightful in the mountains. It's amazing what 45 degrees and sunshine in February can do for your mood after a bad cold spell.
I met the Hubs for lunch downtown and I wanted to show off this elegantmoder pale pink coat. My Mother-in-law gave it to me! I love it for keeping warm, but transitioning to spring colors. I know we still have a lot of winter to get through, but a little pastel pink is just the ticket I needed to feel that spring in my step. Can't you just imagine this over an Easter dress?
I kept the jewelry contemporary with some long gemstone earring and a chunky pink gemstone bracelet.
To stay warm I paired black tights with my black ankle booties.
The finished look is a little throwback, but I love it.
A pale pink coat, Carolina blue skies and a Mexican food lunch makes for a pretty marvelous Thursday. I hope your day was just as great.
This weekend I'm looking forward to celebrating my nephew Owen's SECOND birthday. It feels like yesterday I was just meeting him for the first time.

You look absolutely beautiful! As soon as I saw this, I pictured you walking down the street in NYC. Black and pale pink are one of my favorite color combinations. Those, along with ivory, were my wedding colors. 🙂
JulieWunder says
Thank you! It's such a classy color combination. I bet it made for a stunning wedding.

Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
What a pretty coat. I love it, but I fear that I would manage to spill stuff over it every day.
JulieWunder says
Haha! I am afraid of that every time I wear it! I figure worst case, it goes BACK to the cleaners 🙂 I have a cream pea coat that likes to go to the cleaners too.
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
ooh the pale pink coat makes me think spring might be coming soon 🙂
JulieWunder says
So close!!!
Heather @Fit n Cookies says

Loved your Fashion Friday! You have such cute looks too!

That pale pink coat is beautiful! It is amazing how adding a touch of spring (even if it's only in our clothes!) can be such a mood booster!
JulieWunder says
It's the little things!
Diane says
You look adorable. Love it !
JulieWunder says
Thank you!!!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Loooove this look. Reminds me of my favorite light blue French Connection Trench, but more spring ready because of the length. I love having light colored coats in the winter and then in spring!
JulieWunder says
Oh! I bet that's a gorgeous coat!
