I love winter, and sometimes a perfect photograph will convey what my feeble words never can about the beauty to be found in this austere, crisp and bracing time of year.

I strongly suspect that either of these button-front shirt would look quite nice under the grey dress. It’s a look that a little bit gamine for some women, but for others it can be charming.

January 30, 2015 at 1:48 pmLovely post. (I think you've changed your mind, Janice, about waterfall sweaters. š )

January 30, 2015 at 1:52 pmYou're right! I've been seeing a few people wearing them beautifully, and so I'm reconsidering my blanket condemnation of them. I still think you have to be careful, though, not to look too droopy…
big hug,
Janice

January 30, 2015 at 2:00 pmGasp! You've been peeking in my closet again. š I wear these colors, plus a wee bit of that lovely blush color from December through April. Pretty close to a 33 piece wardrobe and it gets me through the winter with a shocking amount of variety.

January 30, 2015 at 2:00 pmA big compliment to Janice on her ability to choose styles for all ages and body types, however the full-length mirror should still have the last word! Thinking cascade sweater and leggings. š

January 30, 2015 at 2:24 pmJanice, I adore winter, too! I live in New Hampshire and you live in Chicago…Sometimes winter gets a bit…long, but I still love to see the bright blue skies, a fair amount of grey, and lots of white. The black? For us here, it's all the bare trees (which aren't really black, of course, but read as black). I just realized that I don't have to wait for spring to wear two of my favorite tops in clear blues. Thank you again and again.

January 30, 2015 at 3:44 pmI do miss the bright sunny crisp winters days of Easter Canada, especially when it is raining in Vancouver. However, we are enjoying another one of our pleasant winters this year. Up to 55 and sun all day.

January 30, 2015 at 7:53 pmLiving in the Pacific Northwest we have so many grey gloomy and rain soaked days…colour is the key to uplift the spirits.
Those clear blue skies and snow look so refreshing and crisp…
today we are bathed in glorious sunshine!

January 30, 2015 at 11:11 pmBeautiful photograph and beautiful interpretation. I live in Australia so a dark winter wardrobe can be just that, too dark. I love the charcoal as a soft black and the lighter greys, blues and white are just lovely (and a bit icy!). Even though it is summer here I am feeling very cosy when looking at these clothes.
