...wednesday wish: prints

UGH. All the black and grey outerwear in the already bleak winter landscape is really depressing. Many of my fellow yogis arrive at the studio wearing a 'uniform' that's usually a dark parka and leggings tucked into UGG boots. So practical and boring. I'm really tired of it, as I've said before. And we have about 3 months of winter left.

So I just had to buy this lovely Karella coat from Anthro yesterday. It's anti-minimalist, anti-neutral, it's not me at all, and it's really not even that warm. But I just love it.  With all this colour and pattern (admittedly reminiscent of a Persian rug), I would only wear black jeans, a thin black sweater and black boots, and I'd even wear my hair up in a bun, just to balance everything that's going on.

Speaking of prints... How lovely is this dress? It's hard to tell from the picture but I believe that's a Paris scene with the Seine and Eiffel Tower, and so named the Paris 50's prom dress. This wouldn't fit my not quite yoga-toned body right now and I'm DECADES away from my prom, but it would be perfect on my darling petite rorygilmore.

 Wouldn't you feel happy wearing prints for a change? Or is it just me?
